ABSTRACT
Included in this section are federal bills H.R. 3377 and H.R. 3883 (106th Congress, 1st and 2nd st Sessions, respectively), both sponsored by Representative Dennis Kucinich, and short-titled, respectively, the “Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know Act” and the “Genetically Engineered Food Safety Act.” In the Senate, Senator Barbara Boxer introduced S. 2080, also titled “The Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know Act,” which is almost identical to Congressman Kucinich’s, but which includes an appropriation of $5 million to make grants to study the possible health and environmental risks associated with genetically engineered foods. Senator Patrick Moynihan introduced S. 2315, the “Genetically Engineered Food Safety Act,” in the Senate as well.
