But if we come in a blunt instrument, suddenly recreating the fda authorities or mandating things on the fda or looking for the department of health and Human Services to do things that theyre not equipped to do and then, of course, we dont fund them to do it, i think we have to be cautious about some of the legislation that may be proposed.

We know from our own research that theres 168 increase Motor Vehicle crashes after working extended duration shifts. We have no limits in the United States for those work hours, and i think an important countermeasure would be to consider limitations such as the european workin

The president s proposed budget would save just over 250 billion over the next decade. On the policy front the 5d min straegs needs to be up front. For some time now, ive been concerned with the impact of the entitlement programs. ; at that time hha was the largest operating Division Within hhss total staff. And more than half of hhss total annual budget. I sbebd e intend to introduce ledgelation to move chh out of chs. I look forward to working to end overreliance.
