WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Two Democratic senators said on Wednesday they would block President George W. Bush’s nominee to head the Food and Drug Administration until the agency decides on a request to sell Plan B contraceptive without a prescription.
Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Patty Murray of Washington said they would put a hold on acting FDA commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach’s nomination to become the permanent head of the agency.
“It is past time for the FDA to stop dragging its heels and make a decision on Plan B,” the lawmakers said in a statement. “We will place a hold on the nomination of Dr. von Eschenbach until the FDA issues a decision on Plan B, yes or no.”
