Jessica Smith is the vice president of new drug development at Generic Phama, Inc, a pharmaceutical research company in Boston, Massachusetts. One year ago, she filed
an application with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to obtain approval of a new drug for treating cancer. Smith met Joe Spencer at a convention three months ago
and invited him to her room at the hotel. The two parted ways. Spencer worked as the director for approval of new drugs at the FDA. Two weeks later, Spencer wrote
Smith a letter on FDA letterhead stating, “It was nice to see your name cross my desk on our company’s application for approval of the new cancer drug. I’d really like
to see you again. Why don’t you come visit me in Washington this weekend?”

Smith considered requesting that the petition be referred to another director at the FDA. However, she is concerned that the transfer would delay the approval process
for at least a year. Smith’s chief scientist advised her that a key competitor plans to introduce a similar drug on the market in three months.

Are there any legal or ethical barriers to relationships between corporate officers and members of administrative agencies involved in reviewing or regulating
corporate activity?
What should she do?
What would you advise her to do if you were head of human resources or legal counsel for Generic Pharma, Inc.
