Sen. Durbin Withdraws Amendment to Defense Spending Bill
After a lengthy floor debate Monday afternoon, Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) ultimately decided to withdraw his amendment to the Department of Defense funding bill that would have restricted access to certain dietary supplements on military bases and place reporting requirements on manufacturers that are stricter than those for over-the-counter drugs.
Sens. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) subsequently withdrew their amendment which would have countered Durbin’s proposal. Hatch made a commitment to work with Durbin and others to develop appropriate legislative language on adverse event reporting for dietary supplements this year.
Thank you to all those who responded to our Action Alerts and contacted your senators regarding this issue!
