WASHINGTON - Twenty-two members of Congress signed a letter Friday demanding information on reports that FDA (news - web sites) whistleblower David Graham was being punished by Food and Drug Administration (news - web sites) officials for his outspoken testimony before a Senate committee.



The letter, circulated by Rep. Bart Stupak (news, bio, voting record), D-Mich., and sent to acting FDA head Lester M. Crawford, said the members of Congress wanted "to express our strong dismay at recent reports about efforts taken by some at FDA to discredit and smear Dr. Graham."


"This shameful behavior by management cannot continue and we demand you put a stop to it," the letter said. .........
