Excerpt from Cyclamate Sweeteners: Hearing Before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Government Operations, House of Representatives, Ninety-First Congress, Second Session, June 10, 1970 The subcommittee met at 10 a.m., in room 2154. Rayburn House Office Building, the Honorable L. H. Fountain presiding. Present: Representatives L. II. Fountain, Benjamin S. Rosenthal, Florence P. Dwyer, and Clarence J. Brown. Staff members present: Dr. D. C. Goldberg and Gilbert S. Gold-hammer. Mr. Fountain. Let the committee come to order and the record show a quorum is present for the purpose of taking testimony. I might say some of the members, as is usual, are trying to be several places at one time and will be here a little later. At the close of yesterday's hearings there was brief testimony about the role of the Food and Drug Administration as a regulatory agency versus a scientific agency - or a combination, any way you want to describe it. There was also brief testimony regarding some of the prosecution actions that had been brought. Having been a Member of Congress for a number of years and having considered and cast my vote on legislation now entrusted to the Food and Drug Administration, I believe I can to some extent address myself to the question of congressional intent as to FDA's role. In my opinion Congress passed the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and amended it over the years because of the need for the public protection which this legislation was intended to provide. I don't think this protection can be given unless the law is vigorously enforced. The public it seems to me is losing confidence in some of our regulatory agencies. A report to the Commission on Product Safety only a week or 10 days ago said much the same thing and deplored the breakdown in public protection which has occurred. I believe that this subcommittee can, within the limitations of time and staff, render a public service in reminding you, Dr. Edwards, and your associates, that the role of FDA is to enforce the act fully and effectively. All of the sections of the law are important, and Congress did not, and I believe does not now, want any of them to be put in limbo, as I am sure some people would like. It is my recollection that some years ago the Food and Drug Administration was widely regarded as a vigorous, active regulatory agency. It had the reputation of giving the American public a real bargain in protection for the money which Congress appropriated for the agency.
