On the recordMarch 19, 1996
I speak of FDA reform, Food and Drug Administration reform. We know that many Americans are waiting for the approval of drugs or medical devices, because FDA has been so far mired down in overregulation and delay. I believe that it is a bipartisan effort that we are undertaking here in the House to make sure we speed up the approval of medical devices and pharmaceuticals. The legislation which I have introduced, H.R. 1995 and H.R. 2290, will in fact address for the biotech and the pharmaceutical fields speeding up those processes of FDA reform, which we think is legislation whose time has arrived.
