                        RECOGNIZING ADINA TOGAL

  (Ms. MORRISON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. MORRISON. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize Adina Togal, a 
fearless young leader who is working hard to save lives.
  Adina was just 12 years old herself when she suffered a severe 
allergy attack that almost took her life. It wasn't caused by the food 
that she ate. It was from a medication she had been prescribed.
  Unfortunately, unlike its requirements for food labels, the FDA 
doesn't currently have a standardized system for disclosing the 
presence of common allergens in medications. Information that could 
save lives.
  As Adina's Representative and as a doctor who has cared for patients 
for more than 20 years, I want to make sure that no one is in danger of 
a life-threatening allergy attack simply because they took their 
medication. That is why I am introducing the ADINA Act to make this 
commonsense change to allergen information on drug labels a reality.
  I am proud this bill is strongly bipartisan. My colleagues on both 
sides of the aisle agree it is a no-brainer. I am hopeful that together 
we can make this country safer and healthier.
  Mr. Speaker, I extend my heartfelt thanks to Adina and her family for 
her deep dedication, her tireless advocacy, and for all she is doing 
for millions of Americans with allergies to make their lives safer.
