As of today, the government is running behind schedule, although some kind
of action is expected within a week or two.  Meanwhile, Saul Kent has been
actively fighting the efforts of the FDA to restrict or eliminate access to
nutritional supplements and indict people (such as himself and Bill Faloon)
on charges of "Promoting the use of unapproved drugs."

For example, on Oct. 1, 1991 The Life Extension Foundation and its officers
(Saul Kent and Bill Faloon) won one of their lawsuits against the FDA;
they were granted "the return of nutrient supplements and all business
documents which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had seized on
February 26, 1987."  They also will file on Mon. Oct. 7, 1991 a fifth
lawsuit against the FDA.  This lawsuit seeks to grant them a "Declaratory
Judgment and Injunction prohibiting the defendants [FDA] from selectively
and inappropriately enforcing the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
'in retaliation and as punishment for Plaintiffs' exercise of their right
to redress against government agencies (as protected by the Constitution
of the United States) through the publishing of articles, brochures,
caricatures, and advertisements; by giving speeches before Congress and
the press; and by appearing on television and radio shows...'"

This is just a sample of the news I received today from Saul Kent on seven
FAXed pages.  The entire seven pages is a lot to type into the computer,
so it will not be available on-line immediately.  Since this message is #492,
over the next few days I will create the following files:

   492.1 - return of property seized Feb. 26, 1987 (plus HR2597 info.)
   492.2 - appeal to oppose bill HR2597

   492.4 - recent legal victories over the FDA (LEI, Traco, Nutricology)
