REGULATION OF TRAFFIC IN FOOD, DRUGS, AND COSMETICS The Senate resumed the consideration of the bill (S. 5) to prevent the adulteration, misbranding, and false advertisement of food, drugs, devices, and cosmetics in interstate, foreign, and other commerce subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, for the purposes of safeguarding the public health, preventing deceit upon the purchasing public, and for other purposes.

The VICE PRESIDENT. The Senate, by an order adopted yesterday, made the confidential committee print of the bill the copy to be used at the desk. So the Chair assumes the print referred to is on the desk of each Senator. If not, the Chair suggests that Senators obtain copies, because amendments offered to the original Senate bill probably would not apply to the bill pending.

Mr. COPELAND. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the formal reading of the bill be dispensed with, and that it be read for amendment, the amendments of the committee to be first considered.

The VICE PRESIDENT. Is there objection to the request of the Senator from New York? The Chair hears none, and it is so ordered.

Later the distinguished Senator from Michigan [Mr. VANDENBERG), the Senator from Idaho [Mr. BORAH), the Senator from California [Mr. JOHNSON] joined me on this floor from time to time in making clear corroborative information revealed in their different addresses delivered here on this subject.

I now wish to invite the attention of the Senate to the vindication of what I had said was afoot as well as the complete confirmation of my statement, by reports now appearing in the public press, verified by the conference at
