    Message to the Congress Transmitting the Report on Radiation Control for
    Health and Safety
    January 30, 1995

    To the Congress of the United States:
        In accordance with section 540 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
    Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360qq) (previously section 360D of the Public
    Health Service Act), I am submitting the report of the Department of
    Health and Human Services regarding the administration of the Radiation
    Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 during calendar year 1993.
        The report recommends the repeal of section 540 of the Federal Food,
    Drug, and Cosmetic Act that requires the completion of this annual
    report. All the information found in this report is available to the
    Congress on a more immediate basis through the Center for Devices and
    Radiological Health technical reports, the Radiological Health Bulletin,
    and other publicly available sources. This annual report serves little
    useful purpose and diverts Agency resources from more productive
    activities.

                                                          William J. Clinton

    The White House,

    January 30, 1995.
