I called the FDA OCI in Washington DC and was
referred to the FDA<br>Office of Internal Affairs, where I
spoke to Assistant Special<br>Agent in Charge Paul F.
Gebicke. Mr. Gebicke requested that I<br>FAX to him,
immediately, portions of the documents where
Baratz<br>indicated his relationship with the FDA. I faxed to him
the<br>entire seven page CV, and relevant pages concerning
Baratz's<br>claim to a relationship with FDA, in the Baratz
deposition.<br><br>Mr. Gebicke responded to me by telephone and
indicated that his<br>office had investigated Baratz’s
claims (as per the documents<br>faxed to them), and that
they would respond to my request by<br>letter. They
did so, faxing me a letter dated March 2,
2001,<br>signed by Donald L. Briggs, Special Agent In Charge, FDA
Office<br>of Internal Affairs.<br><br>In short, BARATZ's FDA
CLAIMS ARE A FRAUD.<br><br>FDA Brigg’s letter indicates
that his office investigated five<br>claims made by
Baratz either in his CV, or in his testimony<br>recorded
on the deposition, as follows:<br><br>“Between
February 28, 2001 and March 02, 2001, Special Agents
of<br>the FDA OIA made the following inquiries that failed
to reveal<br>Baratz either has/has had a consultant
or contractual<br>relationship with the FDA in
general, or specifically with the<br>FDA Office of
Criminal Investigations (OCI), the law
enforcement<br>branch of the FDA.<br><br>On 2/28/01, an OIA SA spoke
with OCI Assistant Director (AD)<br>Frank Forgione who
said no records could be located that support<br>the
assertion that Baratz has ever been a ‘consultant’ to
OCI.”<br><br>“On 3/01/01, an OIA SA spoke with Center for Drug
Evaluation and<br>Research (CDER) representative Glenna
Caffrey, who is responsible<br>for screening prospective
nominees as SGE to FDA panels on drug<br>matters. No
records could be located that support the
assertion<br>that Baratz has ever been an SGE panelist, guest
panelist, or<br>participant of record in CDER
issues.”<br><br>“On 3/01/01, an OIA SA spoke with Center for Device
and<br>Radiological Health (CDRH) representative Kathleen Walker, who
is<br>responsible for screening prospective nominees as SGE to
FDA<br>panels on device matters. No records could be located
that<br>support the assertion that Baratz has ever been an SGE
panelist,<br>guest panelist, or participant of record in CDRH
issues.”<br><br>“On 3/01/01, an OIA SA spoke with Center for Biologic
Evaluation<br>and Research (CBER) representative William Freas, who
is<br>responsible for screening prospective nominees as SGE to
FDA<br>panels on drug matters. No records could be located that
support<br>the assertion that Baratz has ever been an SGE
panelist, guest<br>panelist, or participant of record in
CBER issues.”<br><br>“The above inquiries were made
with respect to assertions that<br>Robert S. Baratz is
a medical doctor and DDS (dentist) who<br>alleges a
relationship with the FDA as a result of his
alleged<br>expertise in the area of general Dentistry, drugs, and
devices<br>related to this field.”<br><br><br>(5) On page #4, under
“Other Professional Experience and<br>Employment,”
Baratz claims “Consultant NBC News, New York.”<br><br>I
called NBC News, New York. They never heard of him, and
told<br>me he was definitely NOT a consultant to
them.<br><br><br>(6) On page #4, under “Other Professional Experience
and<br>Employment,” Baratz claims “Consultant ABC News, New York.”
