The Biologics ControlAct was passed in the United States on July 1, 1902 after two incidents involving the death s of children caused by contaminated vaccine s. The first involved the horse named Jim whose Clostridium tetani tetanus contaminated blood plasma serum was used to produce a diphtheria antitoxin that caused the deaths of thirteen children in St. Louis, Missouri. The second involved contaminated smallpox vaccine which killed nine children in Camden, New Jersey. Both incidents were attributed to failure of proper procedures and testing by local officials. The act established the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research CBER , which was placed under the authority of the NIH by the Public Health Service Act of 1944, and became one of the centers of the Food and Drug Administration FDA in 1972. Although it was signed with much less fanfare than the Pure Food and Drug Act , the Biologics controlact set a precedent for federal regulation of biological products.

Unreferenced date November 2009 The Gold ControlAct was legislation enacted in India in 1962. After the Indo China War in 1962, due to loss of foreign exchange reserves , the government of India enacted the Gold ControlAct., 1962, prohibiting the citizens from holding pure gold bars and coins. The old holdings in pure gold had to be compulsorily converted into jewellery and that had to be declared. Only licensed dealers were allowed to deal in pure gold bars and coins. New gold jewellery purchases were either recycled or smuggled gold. This legislation killed the official gold market and a large unofficial market sprung up dealing in cash only. The gold was smuggled in and sold through the unofficial channel wherein, many jewelers and bullian traders traded in smuggled gold. A huge black market developed for gold. Gold Smith were unorganised labour force and could not cope with the new developed situation. Only a few could get the licence to hold the gold, that also in very small quantity, with the result that the members of Khudabadi Sindhi Swarankar community , who were depending only on their traditional occupation of making gold ornaments, lost their business and their financial condition deteriorated and families shattered. In 1990, India had a major foreign exchange problems and was on verge of default on external liabilities. The Indian Govt. pledged 40 tons gold from their reserves with the Bank of England and saved the day. Subsequently, India embarked upon the path of economic liberalization. The era of licencing was gradually dissolved. The gold market also benefited because the government abolished the 1962 Gold ControlAct in 1992 and liberalized the gold import into India on payment of a duty of Rs.250 per ten grams. The government thought it more prudent to allow free imports and earn the taxes rather than to lose it all to unofficial channel. From official imports of practically nothing in 1991, India officially imported more than 110 tonnes of gold ... more details
