If I could ask further, the FDA position, as I understand it, is that drugs which are unapproved for sale which come across the border violate the FDA approval. The Senator, in his statement, referred many times to ``FDA-approved drugs.'' As I understand the process today, the FDA views any drug purchased outside the United States, distributed outside the United States, as being unapproved for sale and therefore not meeting FDA standards. Is that not a correct analysis of the FDA view of how it views drugs that come into this country?
