 REQUEST TO APPOINT CONFEREES ON S. 830, AMENDING THE FOOD, DRUG, AND 
  COSMETIC ACT AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE ACT TO IMPROVE REGULATION

  Mr. GREENWOOD. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the 
Speaker's table the Senate bill (S. 830) to amend the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Public Health Service Act to improve the 
regulation of food, drugs, devices, and biological products, and for 
other purposes, with a House amendment thereto, insist on the House 
amendment, and request a conference with the Senate thereon.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. In the events of the past few minutes the 
Chair has been made aware that there will be objection. Under those 
circumstances, the Chair will not entertain the request at this time.
