Michael H. Chanin
Two recent developments in campaign finance law are worthy of note. A new Federal Election Commission rule will allow trade associations to raise money more easily from solicitable employees of their corporate members. Separately, a ruling by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will force the FEC to adopt stricter rules implementing the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002. In particular, the more restrictive rules are likely to impact the campaign activity and funding of "independent" groups.

Department of Health and Human Services Task Force Releases Report on Prescription Drug Importation - 12/23/04
December 23, 2004
Cynthia E. Berry
In this edition of the Advocacy & Government Relations Client Alert we discuss the final report (released on December 21) of the Department of Health and Human Services Task Force on Drug Importation. Reiterating that access to safe and affordable prescription drugs is an important policy goal, the Task Force concluded that drug importation would be costly to implement, provide little overall savings and, if not restricted to commercial importation from Canada, could be dangerous to consumers. The Task Force advised that all aspects of achieving safety, quality and cost-effectiveness must be comprehensively examined before imported drugs can be considered safe.
