"I have not seen anything substantive from Dr. von Eschenbach," he stated, "to make me believe that the mismanagement, misplaced priorities, and ineptitude of the agency's leadership will change during his tenure."

"Among many other things," he said, "Dr. von Eschenbach has presided over the FDA as it issued a new rule that prevents Americans from filing lawsuits against drug companies if they or a loved one become seriously ill or die as the result of a particular drug."

"And in just the last few days," Rep. Hinchey reported, "the FDA has approved numerous waivers for panelists on its advisory boards who have financial conflicts of interest with drugs and devices they are reviewing."

Houston attorney, Robert Kwok, makes the point that "fortunately, there are just two years left in this administration, so Dr von Eschenbach's term may be short."


"But he can still do a lot of damage in that time," he warns, "to the rights of Americans, their health, and their privacy."
