Health Chairman Jim Turner announced that the consumer advocacy group would consider filing suit against the FDA if the agency insists on its proposed new official definition of disease. Turner's testimony was a follow up to his statement before Congress on March 25, in which he testified that it is unlawful for FDA to establish a definition and then attempt to change it after passage of legislation based on the original definition. This obviously would have resulted in an immediate move to codify the existing definition in the statute itself.
