Carter passed over the AFL-CIO'S choices for Secretary of Labor (John Dunlop) and Secretary of Defense (James Schlesinger).

There is little sentiment to repeal the Delaney amendment outright or to write detailed standards for the FDA to follow. Congressmen, says one Senate aide, dread being put in the position "of voting how much cancer is to be allowed in food." But public outrage against the saccharin ban is so vehement-in some congressional offices...
