Executive Summary
FDA DIETARY SUPPLEMENT HEALTH CLAIM STANDARD SUPPORTED BY AIDS COALITION in a March 9 letter to Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah). Arguing that dietary supplement legislation sponsored by Hatch (S 784) would allow health claims to be authorized using a standard that is "markedly more lenient" than the "significant scientific agreement" standard adopted by FDA, the coalition of AIDS activist organizations stated that the agency "should retain the responsibility for establishing standards and for validating such claims."
