Dear Santa:
I would like for you to bring
me lots of food stamps and some
aid checks U you have some to
spare.
I worked hard for many year*
like every good American boy
should but, somehow, what I
saved doesn't go very far any
more. There seem to be too
many hands in Uncle Sam's pot
these days.

$3 or |4 each of us spends lor
medicine goea for advertising in
one form or another.
That's why the Government
Operations Subcommittee on Intergovernmental
Itel attorn,
which I serve as Chairman,
keeps a close check on the way
In which the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) Is administering
the law.
Unfortunately, our most recant
Investigation revealed that
FDA's regulstton at prescription
drug advertising Is considerably
less affective than it
should be. And, It Isn't pleasant
to have to publicize such inefficiency
— Generally speaking
FDA does a good Job, but public
exposure of bureaucratic
mistakes like Congressional
ones Is often the only way
to get corrective action.
It ia Imperative that drug advertising
be absolutely honest
and tactual. The good health
and even the lives of millions
of people are at stake. And, it
must be remembered, that prescription
drug advertising is
different because It is primarily
directed at doctors - not
those who take the drugs.
As the late Sen. Estes Kefauver
put U: "He who orders
does not buy; and he who buys
does not order." Consequently,
If our doctors are misinformed
by improper drug advertising,
whether Intentionally
or unintentionally, the results
can be catastrophic.
Drug advertising is big business
In America. Hundreds of
millions of dollars are spent
each year tor ads In medical
Journals and magazines, direct
mall, movies, samples, printed
reports, symposia and tor detail
men, who call on doctors to
promote drug brands. With so
much advertising activity there
are many opportunities for
mistakes and sometimes exaggeration
by over-enthused promotion
agents. The FDA must
be continually on the alert.
However, our Investigation
revealed many inconsistent
FDA actions in correcting or
failing to correct misleading

corrections to be run; sometimes
they did not, even though
the cases were similar. Other
times they merely wrote letters
asking that the offending ad not
be run again and on occasion
they failed to even write letters
for similar offenses.
An Illustration of poor handling
by FDA Is pointed out In
a report Just Issued by the Subcommittee
I head through our
parent Government Operations
Committee. S says: "A recent
example Is FDA's re
quest on Sept. 24, 1970 to Sandoe
Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer
of Se rent 11, that It
stop advertising the drug as a
t raiment for alcoholism.
FDA'a totter alleged that the ad
falsely and mlslendingly represented
or suggested that Serentfl
"diminishes the need for
drink" and is useful as a prophylaxis
against or treatment
for alcoholism.
"Complicating FDA's objection
to the ad Is the approved
claim in the first paragraph of
the package insert stating the
drug is effective in the treatment
of alcoholism (among
Many other conditions). Elsewhere
In the "indications"
Insert, the claim is modified to
limit one to the amellorrfkm
of anxiety, tension, depression,
nausea, and vomiting In acute
and chronic alcoholics."

ad VM stopped. Bat the FDA
not only failed to require Utat
another ad be published to correct
the false one, but also failed
to require that the correct
information be transmitted to
prescribing physicians by other
means. FDA did not more than
this, because U had carelessly
approved the false labeling
claim In the first place.
This was a serious case and
if, In the future, FDA takes no
more effective action than this,
then It's unlikely that any lasting
Improvement at prescription
drug advertising will be
achieved.
Unquestionably, FDA ought to
set up clear and consistent
guidelines for the benefit of our
prescription drug manufacturers,
who, by and large, do
a commendable Job. In addition,
FDA enforcement policies
should be justly and uniformly
administered.
These and other related actions
must be takgn, and our
subcommittee Intends to maintain
surveillance topee that this
is done. The healUi and wellbeing
of every memtoepof every
