On September 27, 2007, President of the United States George W. Bush signed the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA) into law. This new law is an important step for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It reviewed, expanded, and reaffirmed several existing pieces of legislation regulating the FDA. These changes will allow the FDA access to much-needed resources that will enable the agency to better protect American consumers by allowing more comprehensive reviews of potential new drugs and devices.

The boy took out his own forehead.

My hope of a sound currency will somehow be realized; civil service reform will be delayed; but the great injury is in the South. There the Amendments will be nullified, disorder will continue, prosperity to both whites and colored people will be pushed off for years.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
