NEWS IN BRIEF
FDA seeks to deter
fake medicine use
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Tagging bottles of pills with
tiny transmitters may one day
help keep counterfeits out of
the drug supply, but until that
or other protective technology
arrives, patients must watch
for fake medicines, a Food
and Drug Administration offi
cial said Thursday.
“We need to raise the level of
concern,” said FDA pharmacy
chief Tom McGinnis, who heads
a new agency task force hunt
ing ways to stop the growing
problem of counterfeit medicine.
Drug manufacturers are
anxiously awaiting that task
force’s conclusions.
Drug makers and sellers are
urging FDA to consider a
high-tech safeguard, tagging
medicine with tiny radiofre
quency chips that could let
drugstores automatically tell
the source of each bottle,
McGinnis said.
Economy impacted
by war on terror
WASHINGTON — Two
years into the war on terror
ism, hopes that the struggle
would be only a brief dragon
the economy are fat
Businesses and consumers
are facing a growing lis
security-related burdens,
federal deficit is ballooning
from increased military spend
ing and Americans are ji
about the future.
Many analysts believe
the first decade of the 21si'
century could well be a mirror-
opposite of the 1990s.
Back then, the country
reaped a huge “peace
dend” as gushers of money-
freed after America won
Cold War were diverted f
the military to private
enterprise.
Those business investments
helped spur a record-long
years of economic expansion
and a surge in productivity
levels not seen in decades.
But now, Congress is debat-,
ing President Bush’s requests
for an additional $87 billion for;
the Iraq occupation, and soar-;
ing spending on defense
homeland security has;
brought back the era of mas
sive budget deficits.
