Congress To Demand Account from FDA on Nov. 14 Re: Refusing To Classify Mercury Fillings & Refusing To Do Environmental Impact Statement

Members of Congress increasingly disgusted with FDA’s refusal to classify mercury fillings and refusing to do an Environmental Impact Statement about this issue are calling the agency to task. At the request of Congresswoman Diane Watson and Congressman Dan Burton, the Subcommittee on Domestic Policy of the House Committee on Government Reform will have a hearing in the Rayburn Bldg. on Wed., Nov. 14, 2007, at 2:00 pm. The Chairman of the Subcommittee is Congressman Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, a friend of alternative medicine. We express our deep appreciation to Congressman Kucinich for calling FDA to account.
