In an effort to draw attention to adverse event reporting (AER) for dietary supplements, Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) introduced and promptly withdrew an amendment to the Defense Authorization Act that would have prohibited the sale of certain dietary supplements on military bases if manufacturers did not have a system to report adverse events to the government. After Senator Durbin introduced the amendment on October 6th, Senator Mike Enzi (R-WY) compelled Durbin to withdraw the amendment by assuring him that adverse event reporting would be a priority in the Senate health committee that Enzi chairs. Last year, Mr. Durbin attempted to attach a similar amendment to the defense spending bill but also withdrew it when Sens. Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) agreed to work with him in drafting broader AER legislation.
