“it is my intent to support the nomination of Dr. Henney. After meeting with her a couple of times, and having discussions on these and other issues, I am confident that she will be a very able administrator who will not play politics. In my opinion, she doesn't have a political agenda, and I believe she will try to administer the Food and Drug Administration as a professional organization to make sure that drugs and medical devices are safe and effective for America's population, and that she won't try to implement legislation through regulation. Mr. President, I wasn't the only Senator who had reservations about this nominee. I had reservations until we could get certain clarifications. I received those. I have asked they be printed in the Record to substantiate the progress that was made, and I urge my colleagues to support her nomination.”
