| Crawford declared in January 2002 that he and his wife owned stock in 12 ``significantly regulated'' organizations: Drugmakers Abbott Laboratories, American Home Products, Pfizer Inc. and Merck & Co.; medical device makers Boston Scientific Corp., Medtronic Inc. and Johnson & Johnson; consumer health products maker Kimberly-Clark; Merrill Lynch Biotech Holdings; Pepsico; Sysco; and testing equipment maker Waters Corp., the document said. He was advised by an HHS ethics official to sell all of them, court records show. ``Crawford and his wife subsequently sold all their shares in all these entities, with the exception of Kimberly-Clark, Pepsico and Sysco,'' Taylor said. |
