Executive Summary
GENERIC INDUSTRY SHOULD DEVELOP WAXMAN/HATCH AGENDA to address concerns regarding the drug patent law, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) suggested at the National Association of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers mid-year meeting in Washington, D.C. June 23. "Oftentimes, the legislative process is responding to those who are coming in with demands," Waxman pointed out. "If you think that you need to press for more changes, you ought to do it," he advised. "The demands that are made may not get granted, but it certainly puts them on the agenda, so I leave it to you to figure out what you want on the agenda."
