Dear Ms. Thixton:

Thank you for contacting my office to express your views. I appreciate hearing from you and would like to take this opportunity to respond.

Currently, there is no legislation pending before Congress regarding the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Should such legislation be considered, I will be sure to keep your views in mind. In the meantime, I have taken the liberty of forwarding your correspondence to officials at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration so that they may provide you with additional information on this issue. I have asked that any response be addressed to you directly.

I hope this information will be of assistance to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any additional comments or questions.

Sincerely,

Mel Martinez
United States Senator
