It would seem to me, based on 200 staff persons going public with a letter, and on what the scientists in the Bureau of Veterinary Drugs have been saying, some of their concerns about being under a gag order, that there's a fair amount of unease in the department, a fairly low morale amongst staff.
Etant donné que 200 employés ont rendu publique une lettre et que les scientifiques du Bureau des médicaments vétérinaires ont affirmé être bâillonnés, il y a sans doute un certain malaise au ministère.
