Executive Summary
FDA ACCOUNTING OF FY 1996 SPENDING CRITICIZED by Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) at a May 1 Senate Appropriations/Agriculture Subcommittee hearing. In requesting an amendment to FDA's FY 1998 budget detailing rent and other office expenses, the subcommittee chairman chastised the agency for giving Congress the "run around" when it inquires how funds are being allocated and for its "callous disregard" of Congress' views when it distributes its monies.
