FDA remains in the running for more money
Executive Summary
An additional $275 million in appropriations for FDA are left intact as the Senate approves a fiscal 2008 war supplemental appropriations bill May 22. Funds for FDA include $100 million for drug, biologics and device safety and $40 million to enhance FDA science programs. The bill now returns to the House for a vote in the face of a threatened presidential veto (1"The Pink Sheet," May 19, 2008, p. 16). The Senate passed the measure on a 75-22 vote, a veto-proof majority
