I don't think NEMA's purpose in sponsoring the EDEE Act is to provide a means 
to continue with lead in solder. Far fom it. It wishes to create a Federal RoHS 
like law to avoid competing requiremenst in different US States and bring the 
USA in line with the EU.

Their position is stated here:

20Design%20Initiative.pdf >

They do of course want to confirm an exemption for medical electronics in any 
Federal RoHS-like law, which the current RoHS recast process will probably 
remove in the EU in stages.
