Fugazi WSJ 6/24 President Clinton nominated Jane Henney, a cancer specialist and former Food and Drug Administration deputy commissioner, to head the FDA. Dr. Henney, 51 years old, is vice president of the University of New Mexico. She served as FDA deputy commissioner for operations from 1992 to 1994 under David Kessler, who resigned over a year ago. "Dr. Henney will encourage and nurture collaborative relationships with consumers and industry alike," said Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala, who oversees the FDA. Dr. Henney, who must be approved by the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee and the full Senate, also has solid backing from Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, the labor panel's ranking Democrat; he employed her husband, Dr. Robert Graham, on the committee during the late 1970s. A spokesman for Labor Committee Chairman Sen. James Jeffords, (R., Vt.), declined to comment. More than a dozen health and industry groups have also supported Dr. Henney's nomination, including the American Medical Association. During the confirmation process, questions will likely arise about Dr. Henney's ties to the controversial Dr. Kessler, who was known as an aggressive regulator, as well as her role in the FDA's decision to take silicone breast implants off the market, and her willingness to carry out changes mandated by last year's FDA Modernization Act. Tobacco regulation also will likely be a hot topic. "I look forward to the confirmation process and to the opportunity to give my full energy and commitment to being the next FDA commissioner," Dr. Henney said in a statement. A graduate of Indiana University Medical School, Dr. Henney has worked in the Carter, Reagan and Bush administrations and has held high-level posts at the University of Kansas School of Medicine and the National Cancer Institute.

It's good that you are kidding cuz if you were serious, you'd be matephorically shooting yourself in head. You would be championing someone who'd hurt stocks that "you" invest in. <g>

<< BOP is still up in positve yellow but declined slightly today. >> Thanks for the update. << the short term moneystream indicator turned up. >> What does this mean to you? tonyt, LGND's ill-tempered poster, has no business complaining about the M. Murphy discussion being on this thread, or the posting of the BOP. And, today, tonyt added a personal threat against you, to his record of obnoxious posts. I took some time and looked at tonyt's posts on other threads. It looks like he is only ill-tempered on this thread. He must've really lost a bunch of money by not listening to Henry about AMLN. But, in AMLN's case, at least Henry had the decency and friendship to tell tonyt why AMLN was a bad investment. tonyt has not repaid Henry's kindness too well! Talk about biting the hand that feeds you! Bob, have a nice weekend, Bob
