On the recordFebruary 26, 2004
Thank you so very much. There is another incident where a 1-year-old girl was critically injured by her 3-year-old brother. This little girl survived. I could go on, but I don't have the time at this point. Let's pass this measure. I know Senators DeWine and Kohl have an amendment to change my bill in a very small way. I don't have a problem with that. I will be supporting that. I just know the overriding concern of mine, and I really do think most people in this body who voted for this the last time, is let us protect our kids. Let us do it in a smart way. It is the right thing to do for the families of America. I yield the floor.
