Perry, Your idea of consumers on the approval committee, similar to aids involvement is GREAT! I hear PDF and NPF have merged. How about getting them involved in the idea. And APDA too. If the National Orgs recommend a "citizens committee" it might bear weight with FDA. Let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do to help. I have an e-mail Activist mailing list of over 400 PWP. Anyone else got some ideas on this? Let's hear them! Sid Levin
