I've been asked to help publicize this conference and am happy to oblige:

FDA Commissioner Hamburg will be keynote speaker and bills in Congress regarding user fees for approval of drugs and devices will be the focus. Union of Concerned Scientists is one of the co-sponsors.

I'm happy to let all six readers of this blog know about it!
