            By Mr. POSEY:
        H.R. 5982.
        Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution declares that 
     Congress has the power ``To regulate commerce with foreign 
     nations, and among the several states;'' this section also 
     clarifies that Congress has the right to make ``all Laws 
     which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into 
     Execution the foregoing Powers.''
       It is in keeping with these powers invested in Congress to 
     direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to study 
     our dependence on Chinese pharmaceuticals and authorize the 
     U.S. Food and Drug Administration to issue black-box warnings 
     informing consumers of risks they are taking when using 
     pharmaceuticals from countries with systemic issues of 
     supervision.
