Protecting the Health and Safety of All Americans

摘要

Today, I''m pleased to announce a major new step toward protecting the health and safety of all Americans, especially our children. Almost a week ago, in my inaugural address, I told the American people that we must lead our country into the 21st century with the American Dream alive for all our children; with the American promise of a more perfect union a reality for all our people; with the light of our freedom illuminating all the world. I believe we will make this vision real by doing what • we''ve always done in moments of great change—holding fast to our enduring values. Central among these is the belief that we work tirelessly to make our families stronger and our children safer. Nothing is more important to meeting this goal than seeing to it that Americans live in a world with clean air, safe food, pure water. Hard-working American parents deserve the peace of mind that comes from knowing that the meal they set before their children is safe.
