I find it incredibly fascinating that an FDA Commissioner would forward an appeal up to the IG of Health & Human Services. Does the Commissioner automatically hand it up a notch? Or, review it first to see if an error has actually been made? Does anyone ask the decider if it is possible they missed something or misunderstood something, as can happen?

Why not have the Commissioner read the Applicant's correspondence, assess the decision and data, perhaps have a meeting where both parties can actually sit down and discuss the matter and explain technical positions and clean up the problem if an error has indeed been made, in perhaps a couple of weeks? There's a concept!

Amazing how one can visit DC and drop in unannounced to one of their Senator's offices for a quick meet & greet and a souvenir of the visit, as I have done, yet, the regulatory processes can take years and years, with only the occasional letter. Because there is no accountability at the whim of the voter for the bureaucracy and the Senators know who put them there-every four years and where those campaign checks come from! Campaign contributions ar very simple - if you take a check from everyone, you don't owe anyone anything, but you do a better job and you don't jerk folks around.
