Senator bryan. Let me take this opportunity to welcome our nominee and to express good morning to everyone here in attend ance this morning, and to Members of the Congress who we will hear from shortly. This morning, we convene a hearing on the nomination of Ann Brown to be the Chairman Of the Consumer Product Safety Com mission. As chairman Of this committee's Consumer Subcommittee for the past 5 years, I have devoted a considerable amount of time to issues related to consumer product safety. In particular in this Congress, I have sponsored the Children's Bicycle Helmet Safety Act along with Senator Danforth, and cosponsored the Child Safety Protection Act with the ranking member of the subcommittee, Sen ator Gorton. Both these measures are intended to reduce deaths and injuries to a particularly vulnerable segment Of our population, our children. And I am pleased that the Senate has already passed the legislation, and I am confident that the differences with the House will be quickly resolved and we will enact this important safety legislation this year.
