White House appoints NCI Director Andrew von Eschenbach acting FDA commissioner after Lester Crawford resigns.
Von Eschenbach says he will continue as NCI director and give both jobs “100 percent.”
Members of Congress say that won’t work.
Legal experts say too many conflicts involved. HHS gave von Eschenbach a waiver for his role in C-Change.
After a “humble” start at NCI, von Eschenbach set unachievable goal.
