		Waxman, who defended sexual behavior and function research at an October 2 joint hearing of the House panel and the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, observed that what was “most disturbing” about the list is that it “appears” that it “may have originated within HHS itself.

		Waxman, who's in his 16th term representing West Los Angeles, had plenty of experience leading congressional investigations before the Democrats lost control of the House to Republicans in 1994.
		Waxman complained that Republicans, while in power, shut Democrats out of decision-making and abdicated oversight responsibilities, focusing only on maintaining their own power.
		Among the issues that should have been investigated but weren't, Waxman contended, were the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal, the controversy over the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's name, and the pre-Iraq war use of intelligence.

		The study, requested by Rep. Henry A. Waxman (Calif.), says that EPA officials regularly fail to identify potential conflicts of interest when panel members are chosen and do not adequately disclose the existence of such conflicts to the public.
		Henry A. Waxman (D-Los Angeles) similarly says the exemption is “directly contrary to our intent.” The new rule will save the industry as much as $66 million annually for about 10 years in potential emission control costs.
		That contributes to the idea that the government knew something and didn’t act, it contributes to the conspiracy theories out there.” Representative Henry Waxman (D) asks for a hearing on whether the Bush administration played politics with the report’s release, but the Republican-controlled House of Representatives doesn’t allow such a hearing.

		Henry Waxman, D-Calif., the ranking Democrat on the House Committee on Government Reform, said in a letter to the FDA on Friday that AstraZeneca's advertising conflicts with the FDA's public statements about the drug.
		Waxman pointed to one newspaper interview in which Steven Galson, acting director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said the agency "had been very concerned about Crestor since the day it was approved, and we've been watching it very carefully."
		Waxman's letter echoes a similar letter sent in November by consumer activist group Public Citizen, which claims the drug is unsafe and should be banned from the market.
