CONGRESSIONAL RECORD — HOUSE

Navy, and Air Force. Working closely with the Defense Department has been the Foundation for Religious Action in the Social and Civil Order. This close cooperation between all services and all faiths is representative of the goals of our Nation.

I am pleased to direct the attention of my colleagues to the prayer for Armed Forces Day. In this prayer we offer thanks for the service and sacrifices of our Armed Forces while asking God to watch over the men and women who protect our country. This prayer is a prayer of thanks and a prayer for peace, it is hoped that you will all join with me in repeating this prayer on Armed Forces Day.

A PRAYER FOR ARMED FORCES DAY Almighty God, on this Armed Forces Day, we give Thee thanks for all those who by their sacrifices and devotion to duty have made our heritage of freedom secure. Grant that we may prove worthy of our birthright and that in the days to come our land may be a power for peace in accordance with Thy will. Thou dost hold us to account for the use of all our powers and our privileges, thus keep us ever mindful of the responsibilities our citizenship requires.

Protect and assist all those who at home and abroad, on land and sea, and in the air are serving our country. Shield them from danger; keep them strong and steadfast; give them courage and faith. Uphold their hands that they, with all those who stand ready in reserve, may faithfully perform their duties and at all times remain true to the precepts of their Code of Conduct.

Finally we pray that we may become and remain Thy good servants, more completely surrendered in our devotion to Thee and to our country, and that Thy peace may return to this world to Thy honor and glory. (The Armed Forces Chaplain Beard.)

REPORT

DEFINITION OF "NONFAT DRY MILK"

MAY 17, 1956.-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union and ordered to be printed

Mr. ROBERTS, from the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, submitted the following

REPORT.

[To accompany H. R. 5257]

The Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, to whom was referred the bill (H. R. 5257) to amend the act entitled "An act to fix a reasonable definition and standard of identity of certain dry milk solids" (21 U. S. C., sec. 321c), having considered the same, report favorably thereon with amendments and recommend that the bill as amended do pass.

The amendments are as follows:

Page 1, line 3, strike out "Numbered".

Page 1, line 7, strike out "For" and insert "That for".

Page 2, strike out lines 6 and 7, and insert in lieu thereof the following:

The term "milk", when used herein, means sweet milk of

COWB.

PURPOSE OF AMENDMENTS

The amendments are technical in nature and are proposed by the committee in order to eliminate certain technical inaccuracies in the introduced bill.

PURPOSE OF LEGISLATION

The purpose of the bill is to change the name of a product referred to in the act of March 2, 1944 (Public Law 244, 78th Cong., 20 U. S. C. 321c) from "nonfat dry milk solids or defatted milk solids" to "nonfat dry milk." Public Law 244 fixes a definition and standard of identity for this product for the purposes of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

DEFINITION OF "NONFAT DRY MILK”

The word "solids" would be eliminated from the name "nondry
milk solids" because it is unnecessary. The name "nonfat dry milk"
accurately describes the product.

The bill also would eliminate entirely the alternative name "defatted
milk solids" used in Public Law 244 for this product. This alternative
name has seldom been used and is not generally known to the con-
suming public.

Hearings were held on this bill and testimony was received from the
Commissioner of Food and Drugs and the American Dry Milk
Institute in support of this legislation. The committee knows of no
opposition to the bill.

CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW

In compliance with clause 3 of Rule XIII of the Rules of the House
of Representatives, changes in existing law made by the bill, as intro-
duced, are shown as follows (existing law proposed to be omitted is
enclosed in black brackets, new matter is printed in italics, existing
law in which no change is proposed is shown in roman):

[PUBLIC LAW 244-78TH CONGRESS]

[CHAPTER 77-2D SESSION]
