WASHINGTON, DC – House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) released the following statement after the House of Representatives approved H.J.Res. 77, the Food and Drug Safety Act:
“Senate Democrats and the president shut down the government to protect special breaks for Congress and big businesses under ObamaCare, and won’t negotiate to open the government back up. So the House has passed several individual measures to make sure critical services – veterans benefits, cancer research, and now food safety – are still up and running. We need the Senate to act on these bills now, and then come to the table so we can resolve our differences and end their needless shutdown.”
