            Mike,
   
  Thanks. The word is really getting out there. I've had friends who are non-political, asking me if I know anything about it and if it's really true.
   
  After doing some of my own research I came across something at www.commondreams.org. You may have already seen it.

Although Johnson cancelled one controversial study (with the anomalous acronym of CHEERS) in which parents were to be paid to spray pesticides in the room primarily occupied by their infant children, he did so in the face of threats by Democratic senators to block his confirmation. Since then, Johnson has heatedly defended CHEERS and is pushing a plan to allow children to be used in other chemical dosing experiments."

  *ALERT UPDATE: EPA PROPOSED RULE ALLOWS CHEMICAL AND PESTICIDE TESTING 
ON KIDS *
Thanks to everyone who responded to the OCA Alert in the last issue of 
Organic Bytes. So far, the EPA has been deluged with over 20,000 
comments from OCA supporters demanding changes in the EPA's 
controversial proposed rule on human chemical testing, which contains 
loopholes that would allow the testing of chemicals and pesticides on 
children. EPA's proposal flies in the face of massive public opposition 
and directives from Congress and the National Academy of Sciences to 
stop industry from carrying out unethical studies on children. In the 
wake of this strong citizen backlash, the EPA is frantically trying to 
discredit the OCA and other organizations working on this issue (such as 
the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Center for Health and 
Environmental Justice, and Public Employees for Environmental 
Responsibility, etc.) by flat out denying that the proposed rule 
contains exceptions for testing toxics on children. Unfortunately for 
the EPA PR greenwashing efforts, the actual proposed rule is still 
posted on the EPA website 
, 
where the public can look beyond the agency's rhetoric and read the rule 
themselves. We invite you to read these sections of the proposed 
regulations, which allow chemical or pesticide testing on children under 
the following circumstances:

1. Children who "cannot be reasonably consulted," such as those that
are mentally handicapped or orphaned newborns may be tested on.
With permission from the institution or guardian in charge of the
individual, the child may be exposed to chemicals for the sake of
research.
2. Parental consent forms are not necessary for testing on children
who have been neglected or abused.
3. Chemical studies on any children outside of the U.S. are acceptable.

If you haven't already done so please learn more and send an instant 
letter to the EPA here (public comment period expires Dec.12)
