I very much appreciate his efforts to bring up the Birth Defects Prevention Act, which would deal with a very serious problem of 150,000 babies being born each year with birth defects in this country. There is no reason to filibuster or delay the Birth Defects Prevention Act, because taking care of this bill this afternoon will in no way delay the disaster. It will deal with the disaster of birth defects which we can deal with today without slowing down any supplemental emergency appropriations.
