Executive Summary
HOUSE HEALTH SUBCMTE. DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP COULD TAKE MODERATE TURN with the likely ascension in the 105th Congress of Rep. Ralph Hall (D-Tex.) to ranking minority member of the Commerce Committee/Health & Environment Subcommittee. Hall said Nov. 20 that he is leaning toward taking the post and is the most senior Commerce member interested. Hall is not expecting any challenge to his taking the ranking spot since he claims support from almost every Democrat on the committee, including Ranking Democrat John Dingell (Mich.). Hall was a co-sponsor of the House FDA reform package in the 104th Congress.
