As I said, this is not an exhaustive list, but a sample of what we have accomplished. However, with all this, as you will see with some of the information presented here today, the response from industry has been widely variable and in some instances ineffective. As Ms. Wilcox said in her remarks, we have been given clear direction from the President to move forward. Therefore, to achieve progress in reducing foodborne illness across the board, FSIS has reviewed its Action Plan in light of the President's recent directive. And today, we will present our current thinking on how we intend to respond to the President's directive, in order to solicit your input.
Nothing is set in stone.
We have 120 days to report to the President on an overall strategy and to publish proposed rulemaking, and we will carry out this task through a public process. For example, in addition to today's meeting, FSIS will meet with the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection tomorrow, and the Action Plan will be one topic for discussion. Now that I have reviewed how we got to this point, let me review the agenda for today's meeting so we can proceed with the presentations.
