The appointment of geneticist Francis Collins to head the National Institutes of Health could soon be done. NIH observers in Washington say that the Senate committee that handles the nomination will not hold a confirmation hearing, the forum where all controversies are usually broadcast. Instead, the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) can send Collin appointment-apparently without opposition to the full Senate for an all or nothing "unanimous consent" vote some time next week-the last chance before the Senate recess passes August A spokesman of the HELP committee said no hearing has been fixed, but declined to comment further.
