HOW THE FDA IS BECOMING A DRUG COMPANY
UNDER THE FALSE PRETENSE OF IMPROVED FOOD AND DRUG SAFETY THE FDA IS
RE-INVENTING ITSELF AS A KINGPIN DRUG COMPANY. THIS CHARADE HAS SO FAR HOODWINKED
VIRTUALLY ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. THE SENATE HAS ALREADY APPROVED THIS FDA
TRANSFORMATION. THE HOUSE WILL BRING SIMILAR LEGISLATION OUT OF COMMITTEE NEXT
WEEK, WITH A VOTE IN THE FULL HOUSE LIKELY IN JULY. THE MEASURE WILL THEN GO
TO A CONFERENCE COMMITTEE TO WORK OUT THE DIFFERENCES. THE FINAL CHAPTER IN
THIS TRANSFORMATION OCCURS WHEN THE REAGAN-UDALL FOUNDATION FOR THE FDA BECOMES
LAW, WHICH IS SCHEDULED TO HAPPEN SOME TIME BEFORE SEPTEMBER 30, 2007.......
