  SA 1203. Mr. LEE submitted an amendment intended to be proposed to 
amendment SA 948 proposed by Mr. Shelby to the bill H.R. 3055, making 
appropriations for the Departments of Commerce and Justice, Science, 
and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020, and 
for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

        At the appropriate place in title VII of division B, 
     insert the following:
       Sec. __.  None of the funds appropriated by this Act to the 
     Food and Drug Administration may be used to enforce standards 
     of identity with respect to a food that would be considered 
     adulterated under section 402 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
     Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 342) or misbranded under section 403 
     of such Act (21 U.S.C. 343) for the sole reason that the 
     labeling of such food contains a common or usual name of 
     another food, provided that the name of such other food on 
     the label is preceded by a prominently displayed qualifying 
     prefix, word, or phrase that identifies--
       (1) an alternative plant or animal source that replaces 
     some or all of the main characterizing ingredient or 
     component of such other food; or
       (2) the absence of a primary characterizing plant or animal 
     source, or of a nutrient, allergen, or other well-known 
     component, that is ordinarily present in such other food.
                                 ______
