OMB href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/oira/0910/meetings/428.html">met with representatives of Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) on Mar. 18 to discuss a new potential Fall2004&query=and&doc_id=944">regulation of condom labeling. FDA has yet to put forth a proposed rule, but according to the Fall2004&query=and&doc_id=944">Unified Agenda, the regulation being discussed would amend the classification regulations for male condoms to require a labeling guidance document to provide "a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of these devices." The rule comes in response to a lic_laws&docid=f:publ554.106">congressional directive from the 106th Congress to review condom labeling "to assure that the information regarding the overall effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of condoms in preventing sexually transmitted diseases is medically accurate." Both Senators Coburn and Brownback have been staunch opponents of women's reproductive rights. Coburn has previously advocated the death penalty for doctors performing abortions, while Brownback introduced a bill requiring doctors to notify women seeking abortions that their fetuses could feel pain during an abortion and to offer an anesthetic, if the woman chooses to have an abortion. Both senators have recently filled vacant seats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, the committee responsible for sending Supreme Court nominees to the full Senate. Coburn is also co-chair of the President's Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA).
