Powell pushes focus on disarming Iraq not removing Saddam
Secretary of State Powell said the United States may not seek to depose Saddam Hussein if he yields his weapons of mass destruction. He emphasized disarmament as the core issue and called for a strong UN inspection regime. Condoleezza Rice added a resolution would test Saddam’s willingness to cooperate or face disarmament by others.

Bush plan speeds generic drugs with patent suits curb
The Bush administration proposed blocking multiple patent lawsuits by brand firms to accelerate cheaper drugs. Officials said the move would reduce stalls from Hatch Waxman Act litigation, allowing generics sooner. The policy targets delays from lawsuits that extend up to 30 months for brand protection during court actions.
