The advisory committee rejected unanimously a resolution that would prohibit Merck & Co. from contributing assets to political candidates, parties or government officials to purchase favor for its own operations because the committee found the resolution "badly worded and ambiguous."
The company's management has assured shareholders it will not permit corporate political contributions in the United States, even where it is not illegal.
