Progress
Where this resolution reached, and when. A stage with no date was not reached; one that failed a vote and later carried shows the date it carried. A simple resolution is the business of one chamber alone: it is not sent to the other chamber or to the President, and does not become law.

Summary
Urges the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to: (1) give the greatest weight in making critical policy decisions to readily available hard science data; and (2) avoid paternalistic policy decisions not grounded in hard science.
