The report language appears in Title II of H.R.
The introduction of this language in the Senate Appropriations Committee's report is the "direct result of our work with Senator Harkin (D-Iowa) and key members of his appropriations committee staff," said Richard Miller, director of governmental relations for the American Chiropractic Association (ACA).
"While not having the force of law, the report language is a clear directive to the department to take action in response to the committee's desires," Richard Miller said.
"If the department is unresponsive to this directive, we will be able to return to the committee next year and make a good case to have the directive included as statutory language having the full force of law," Mr. Miller concluded.
