Tesitified before the House Government reform Committee with Tom
Davis Chairing. Same cast = MOL, me, Julie, Raub, Gellin. This was a tougher Hearing
in that this Committee is generally tough. Both the Republicans and Democrats gave
some heat to us. As usual, the tough ones (Chris Shays, Dan Barton, Henry Waxman)
were quite deferential to me and so I did fine. Dennis Kucinich made a spectacle of
himself by pushing MOL on the issue of taking over Roche’s patent for Tamiflu.
Kucinich wanted a government takeover and MOL argued that this would be a
disincentive for companies to ever make scarce products (MOL is absolutely correct).
