 WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush on Wednesday established a Cabinet-level panel to recommend how to guarantee the safety of imported food and other products brought into the country and how to police them better.
The White House denied the effort was aimed at China, though the announcement came the same day senators heard testimony from regulators about problems caused by the extremely rapid growth of imports from China.
"It's important for the American people to know their government is on top of this situation and constantly reviewing procedures and practices," Bush said after his first meeting with the Working Group on Import Safety.
