Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said three Food and Drug Administration offices should open in China this year to help ensure the safety of products destined for the U.S.

"We are continuing our efforts toward having FDA offices in three places in China and have made significant steps forward," Mr. Leavitt told reporters during high-level talks between the two countries, known as the Strategic Economic Dialogue.
