On the recordOctober 20, 1998
another area where I have seen FDA become very involved in the political arena deals with the abortion drug RU- 486. I have a press release that is dated May 16, 1994. The headline is: ``Roussel Uclaf Donates U.S. Patent Rights for RU-486 to Population Council.'' The first paragraph says: HHS Secretary Donna E. Shalala announced today that French pharmaceutical company Roussel Uclaf, at the encouragement of the Clinton administration, is donating, without remuneration, its United States patent rights for mifepristone (RU-486) to the Population Council, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation. Then further in the press release it says: ``FDA will do all it can to quickly evaluate mifepristone,'' said Shalala.
