Lobby spending disclosures provide a bet-
ter picture of the scale of the spending.
Senate Bill 844, sponsored by three Dem-
ocratic lawmakers and one Republican, is
currently in the Ways and Means Committee
awaiting a hearing.
A coalition of health insurance and health
care companies, public employee unions,
AARP Oregon and OSPIRG that supports
Senate Bill 844 reported spending $7,247 on
that effort in the first quarter.
PhRMA Public Affairs Director Jasmine
Gossett said most of the trade group’s re-
ported spending was on advertising, which
includes ads urging people to contact law-
makers and express opposition to the bill.
“The majority of the figure in our lobbying
report includes advertisement expenditures
related to SB 844,” Gossett wrote. “To make
fair and balanced policy decisions, legisla-
tors need to hear from all sides of an issue.
That is even more important when it comes
to protecting patients’ access to medicines
and future treatments and cures. As the in-
dustry is committed to fighting COVID-19,
this harmful policy would threaten the very
research and investment needed to get us out
of this and future pandemics.”
Supporters of drug price limits dispute
PhRMA’s claim that potential caps would un-
dermine development of medicines.
U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley said the high prices
of prescription drugs are a top complaint he
hears from Oregon constituents no matter
their party or where they live. “It’s an issue that
no matter whether if I’m in a blue county or a
purple county or a red county, citizens want us
to address it,” he said.
Pseudoephedrine
Continued from A11
Methamphetamine remains illegal, al-
though under a ballot measure Oregon
voters passed last year, possession of small
amounts is no longer a crime.
Ephedrine is banned as a performance-en-
hancing drug by college sports and some
professional sports leagues.
House Bill 2648 retains some restrictions
on access to such medicines. People can ob-
tain them by showing a photo identification
to establish age — the minimum is 18 — and
receive them from behind the store counter.
In addition, purchases are tracked by a sys-
tem known as the National Precursor Log
Exchange (NPLEx).
Mississippi, the only other state that re-
quired a prescription, recently passed a sim-
ilar bill.
The Oregon bill, if passed by the Senate
and signed by Gov. Kate Brown, would begin
the new requirements on Jan. 1, 2022.

Boeing posts 1st-quarter loss,
takes a hit on Air Force One work
BY DAVID KOENIG
The Associated Press
Boeing Co. reported a wider
than expected first-quarter loss
on Wednesday and took another
charge on its program to build two
new Air Force One presidential
planes after firing a contractor it
hired to help perform the work.
The company did not provide
a timetable for fixing the latest
problem with its 737 Max jet, an
electrical issue that has forced
airlines to park about 100 of the
planes.
The combination of self-inflicted
damage and a coronavirus pan-
demic that has depressed demand
for new planes pushed Boeing to its

Wing’s drones are able to navi-
gate autonomously — without a hu-
man pilot controlling them remotely
— and are powered by two forward
propellers on their wings and 12
smaller vertical propellers. When a
drone reaches its destination, it hov-
ers above the front lawn as a tether
sixth straight quarterly loss. How-
ever, CEO David Calhoun said the
company is at an “inflection point,”
with an increase in vaccinations
against COVID-19 raising hopes
for a rapid recovery in air travel
that could translate to aircraft or-
ders.
Boeing lost $561 million — $537
million attributable to shareholders.
After the quarter ended, Boe-
ing suffered a new setback with its
737 Max jetliners, the grounding of
dozens of the planes because of is-
sues around electrical grounding of
some parts.
Boeing continues to say that the
fix is simple and will take three or
four days per plane once the Fed-
eral Aviation Administration ap-
proves Boeing’s repair method,
but airlines including Southwest,
American and United have now
been without some of their Max
jets for nearly a month with no cer-
tainty about when they will be able
to use them again.
Boeing only recently resumed
deliveries of its two-aisle 787 jets
after discovering flaws in the fu-
selages. And the debut of its next
plane, the 777X, is behind schedule
because of design changes.
The company is also dealing with
delays in its work to build replace-
ments for the current Air Force
One planes, which are specially
modified 747 jumbo jets. The pro-
gram is not crucial to Boeing’s fi-
nancial health but carries prestige,
building the presidential planes
that are recognizable around the
world.
Boeing took a first-quarter
charge of $318 million related to its
$3.9 billion contract with the Air
Force for new presidential planes.
Boeing fired and sued subcontrac-
tor GDC Technics, which in turn
laid off about 200 workers and
filed for bankruptcy protection this
week. GDC, hired for interior work
on the planes, filed a countersuit
against Boeing.
It is not clear whether Boeing
will meet its December 2024 dead-
line for delivering the planes.
releases to drop the package.
“It was so smooth and it didn’t
shake,” said Walker, who, before
her troop added drones to its sales
strategy, would don a mask and set
up a cookie booth outside a home
improvement store. “They look like
a helicopter but also a plane.”
There’s not much evidence that
consumers have been clamoring for
drone delivery, and many have ex-
pressed privacy, safety or nuisance
concerns when asked to imag-
ine the noisy machines over their
homes.
But in a small survey of Chris-
tiansburg residents by researchers
at nearby Virginia Tech that Wing
helped fund, most townspeople
appeared to be content with the
drones.
“One of the reasons is because
Virginia Tech is here and there’s an
engineering culture of trying new
things,” said Lee Vinsel, an assis-
tant professor of science, technol-
ogy and society who conducted
the Virginia Tech survey. “And the
suburban setup is easiest for drone
delivery.”
That might not be the case for
much denser places, he added.
“Manhattan would be tough.”
