Congress After anti-meth legislation is slashed from a major bill, leaders search for another vehicle for passage

A U.S. Senate plan to impose nationwide regulations on cold medicines containing pseudoephedrine stalled Friday when a House-Senate panel struck the proposal from a spending bill.

Some House members balked at terms of the bill, citing concerns for its impact on pharmacies and other retailers. The retail sales restrictions were contained in a larger appropriations bill that pays for State, Justice, Commerce and other departments.

Supporters of the pseudoephedrine legislation remained hopeful Friday that a compromise still could be reached. The retail sales restrictions could then be merged with a House bill targeting the international trade of the chemical.

Ok, who is getting paid off by the pharmaceutical manufacturers of pseudoephedrine?

House members should be aware that voters and political contributors outside their congressional districts are WATCHING.

Stop MILKING this bill and PASS it!
