fda has always had the authority on food on farms and they generally rely on state and local authorities for food safety oversight on farms because they have a strong nonfarm presence. i'm confident the farmers have nothing to fear from this bill. the bill calls for fda to set its standards to regulation which means fda will go through a public notice and comment process. our committee is busy in the middle of three gauge three-month period. last month we passed a copperheads of energy and climate change legislation. so we will take up health-care reform, but food safety is so critical that i've carved out time right in between to pass this legislation. over the next few weeks i intend to work with all our committee members ,-com,-comma democratic and republic and with the fda with the affected industry to achieve insistence on a food safety bill that we can pass out of committee. we can't afford to wait any longer. i look forward to hearing from our witness today. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, chairman waxman. the gentleman from kentucky, mr. whitfield. >> thank you, mr. chairm

there is concern about happens with the family farm that sells a local grocery stores and what level they would have to comply and would it be that the fees for them would be so high they simply could not sell any product outside of their own farm store and does that compare small distributors, how do we help them. another issue, one of them a package food at the stores such as some value add ground beef products made in their meat departments, what happens if they make some other foods at the store and how this that affect them in other way is. so certainly in pennsylvania we want strong at food safety bills and protect consumers and small businesses to be encouraged and large businesses supported but encourage new startups but more than anything we want the penguins to win the stanley cup and i yield back.
