Jerry,

Yes, a copy of a polished draft of FPLA 2010 to the White House, in the hope 
that the goal of "harmonization" of US Public Law and the EU Directive will 
stimulate attention.

However, the FPLA contains many other Acts of Congress which assign authorities 
to the FDA, USDA, FTC, BATF, EPA, etc.; and legislation is the duty of the 
Congress not a function of the Executive Branch except by executive orders of 
limited scope; so President Obama can not simply sign FPLA 2010 into law 
without prior action by Congress.

Gene.
