“I clearly have a fundamental disagreement with the views of the junior Senator from Virginia. I hope our colleagues will look at the facts. The facts are that failure to enforce seatbelt laws, to make it absolutely clear that there are penalties associated with not wearing seatbelts, causes deaths from accidents that would otherwise not cause fatalities. This amendment will help us encourage States to adopt stricter seatbelt laws. We give them an option. I hope our colleagues will join with us in voting for this very important safety measure.”
