The Justice Department accused the former head of the Food and Drug Administration with falsely reporting that he had sold stock in companies when he continued holding shares in the firms governed by FDA rules. Crawford " is going to plead guilty to two misdemeanors tomorrow afternoon and he is going to admit his financial disclosures had errors and omissions, mostly with his wife's continued ownership of stocks, " said Crawford's lawyer, Barbara Van Gelder. " At the end of the day, he owned these stocks and he will admit he owned them while he was at the FDA and he will take responsibility for that, " said Van Gelder. --------------------------------- Messenger with Voice.
