Executive Summary
SUPPLEMENT ADVOCATES IN 105th CONGRESS include Rep. Bill Richardson (D-N.M.), who won his fourth term in the House. In response to speculation in the lay press that Richardson may be tapped as Energy Department secretary, the New Mexico Democrat has issued a statement maintaining that he is "very happy" in his "present job." If Richardson were in fact to step up to the Cabinet to replace the departing Hazel O'Leary, the change would leave a void for the supplement industry, which has benefited from his presence in the House since 1983.
