Notes

  1. 1.

    † For a more thorough review of FDA history, I recommend Phillip J. Hilts’ Protecting America’s Health: The FDA, Business, and One Hundred Years of Regulation (New York: Knopf, 2003).

  2. 2.

    † During employment, the primary restrictions relate to financial interests (e.g., investments) in any company regulated by the agency, or activities that would appear to cause a conflict of interest. Post-employment, there are temporary restrictions on your ability to appear before the government on a company’s behalf, and permanent restrictions on your involvement with any matter you influenced as an agency employee. For more details, consult the Code of Federal Regulations 5 CFR XLV or the Federal Register, Volume 61, Number 147, pp. 39755–39767, available online at www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/index.html.
