 FDA POLICYMAKING IN LIGHT OF SCIENTIFIC UNCERTAINTY:
Metzenbaum's concerns seem primarily to have been focused on the regulatory actions and omissions made by the FDA between 1976 and 1981.
Metzenbaum accused the FDA of being the pawn of a profit-motivated industry and of sacrificing the health and safety of the American public.
Metzenbaum's concerns regarding the safety of aspartame were not completely unfounded; in the mid-i 980s, the scientific community was not unified in its opinion as to whether there was a link between the consumption of aspartame and a host of medical complications, including brain damage, brain tumors, intense headaches, and seizures.

 University of Dayton Law Review
For Senators Metzenbaum and DeConcini, who had announced their intention to retire at the end of the term, this was their last chance to pass assault weapons legislation (and for Metzenbaum, the lead Brady Bill sponsor in the Senate, his last chance to pass what had become a signature bill for him).
Metzenbaum's bill gave ATF authority to designate additional banned semiautomatic firearms if they met a criteria definition based on certain assault weapon features (the "objective criteria" test) and were not "generally recognized as being particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting purposes" (the "sporting use" test).
Metzenbaum saw no substantive objection to this request; it entailed minor technical changes that did not affect the substance or in any way undermine the legislation and represented no more than clarifications of what was otherwise intended.
