Washington, D.C. - Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) today released the following statement regarding the resignation of Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Lester Crawford.
"Commissioner Crawford's tenure at the Food and Drug Administration was fraught with controversy, where millions of Americans were suddenly left unsure of the safety of their drugs, the availability of their flu shots, and even the trustworthiness of the agency that had been created for their protection. I hope that President Bush keeps these problems in mind as he considers potential successors to Dr. Crawford. Our next FDA Commissioner will have serious work to do to reestablish public trust in this essential agency."
