Officials say amounts are too small to worry, while regulators use data to guide limits and protect infants and children as consumption patterns and farming grow. Residues in a dozen popular fruits and vegetables stayed well below EPA legal limits.

Clinton Defends Deadbeat Parent Law In Federal Challenge
The Clinton administration defends the federal deadbeat parent law from a constitutional challenge and urges Congress to tighten provisions. The Justice Department seeks to preserve the Child Support Recovery Act of 1992 which makes it a federal crime to withhold support for a child in another state. A Phoenix judge struck the act as unconstitutional, but the administration argues parental responsibility crosses state lines and urges licenses suspensions for nonpayers. Janet Napolitano asked the judge to reverse, with an appeal planned to the 9th Circuit.
