As the EPA Administrator, as well as the mother of a five-
year-old, I believe there is no higher priority than the health
of our children and the safety of the food they eat. A balanced
diet with fruits and vegetables is essential to good health. The
United States has the safest and most abundant food supply in the
world, but the Clinton Administration believes it is the respon-
sibility of government to look at every opportunity for further
improvement. That's why the Clinton Administration is making a
dramatic shift in policy to reduce the use of pesticides and
promote sustainable agriculture. I wish to commend the National
Academy of Science for its excellent work. And X will elaborate
more on the Administration's position at my National Press Club
address this Wednesday.
