FDA needs adequate funding, permanent leaders
CRN members met with a staffer from Kentucky Sen. Pat Roberts’ office. Among the issues they covered was a request for more funding for FDA so the agency can adequately enforce the regulations with its existing authority, Mister said. Members also asked legislators to “subtly urge” FDA to permanently fill leadership positions currently filled with acting or interim appointments, Mister said, noting, “We need permanent people in these positions so they have the authority to really enforce the law.”
