Editing Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (section)

== Legislative History ==
The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act was originally introduced in the House on January 3, 1961. The bill lost momentum but was eventually re-introduced into the Senate on February 3, 1965 and it was debated in the Senate first. Senator Philip Hart (MI) introduced the legislation, as he was a main proponent. He also introduced the legislation on behalf of Senators Bartlett, Metcalf, Mondale, Muskie, and Neuberger. The bill was debated for the first time, in the Senate, on May 27, 1966. It was later passed to the House on June 9, 1966. On October 3, 1966, the House made a few amendments and then passed it back to the Senate. The Senate disagreed to these amendments and asked for a conference. A conference report was later created and then submitted to the House, where it was agreed to.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|title=Fair Packaging and Labeling Act|url=https://li-proquest-com.huaryu.kl.oakland.edu/legislativeinsight/LegHistMain.jsp?searchtype=DOCPAGE&parentAccNo=PL89-755&docAccNo=PL89-755&docType=LEG_HIST&resultsClick=true&newTitle=Fair%20Packaging%20and%20Labeling%20Act&id=1639509015669|access-date=14 December 2021|website=ProQuest- Legislative Insight}}</ref> The conference report was then submitted in the Senate and agreed to. After, the bill was sent to President Johnson to be signed. When Johnson signed the Fair Packaging Act, he did so alongside three other bills, two education bills and a "slum rehabilitation program" bill. After he signed what he called the "landmark health and education bills", he publicly stated that the four bills would "help us maintain our vitality here at home," and that they "will act as a beacon of hope to people around the world."<ref>{{Cite news|date=4 November 1966|title=Johnson Signs 8 Bills Support Great Society: Hails 'Great' 89th Congress, 'Great Day' Back Home and G.O.P.
