such as ‘‘lack of sanitary
conditions,

preparation instructions,
illiteracy, contaminated

Opponent Robert
Lagomarsino, R-Calif.,
said that to vote for the
House condemnation is to
support an international
code “that violates the
principles of freedom of
speech, freedom of the
press and could preempt
the right of the U.S. Con-
gress to regulate foreign
commerce of American
companies.”

Class Action: By a vote
of 241 for and 167 against,
the House adopted an
amendment to prevent
the Legal Services Corp.
from filing class action
suits on behalf of poor
people against local,
state and federal govern-
ments. The vote came
during debate on a bill
(HR 3480) extending the
life of the agency.
Sponsor Charles
Wilson, D-Tex., said the
ban "would eliminate a
very large percentage of
the real grievances that
my constituents have had
with the Legal Services
Corporation.”
Opponent Robert
Kastenmeier, D-Wisc.,
urged the House to "re-
ject the notion that class
actions are no longer part

tion— the poor.”
