Robert Nicholas was quoted in the Boston Globe on March 2 regarding the FDA asking Congress to give it more powers to dictate the warnings on drug labels. The FDA has strong authority to dictate labeling language before a drug is approved. "Once a product is on the market, it's like a property right," commented Bob. The FDA still has negotiating clout because if a drug company refuses its suggestions the agency could initiate legal proceedings to remove the drug from the market or it could ask the secretary of the DHHS to declare a drug an imminent hazard. "There are lots of informal rules -- there is jawboning and discussions," Mr. Nicholas said.

Edward Gray was quoted in the September 30 issue of Pesticide & Toxic Chemical News in regard to the EPA's rules on endangered species, particularly the ESA rule. "The Services regulated ESA protections on the basis of construction projects," commented Mr. Gray, who further explained this "case-by-case" basis is not the best approach for protection.
