...year-old strictures on trade with and travel to mainland China. The new regulation allows travel to China-without special application to the State Department beyond normal passport procedures-for members of Congress, teachers, scholars with postgraduate degrees, undergraduates, scientists, medical doctors, Red Cross representatives and journalists.

From 1938 to 1962, some 7,000 new drugs had been marketed and during that period the FDA had final say on their safety but not their efficacy. The assignment from Capitol Hill was to recheck all of the drugs to determine whether they worked as advertised...
