On the recordJuly 11, 2001
I support the gentleman's efforts, but again, as a place holder, we do not do place holders, we do real amendments. We do real law. And, unfortunately, I understand the limitations that the gentleman had in the appropriations process, and that this was a way to raise the issue. It is an important issue, and I am glad it is being raised. But when we vote, we actually vote on real things. Members that support this legislation, in fact, are supporting no funding for the FDA to regulate drugs that come into the United States of America. If any of my colleagues had joined me in looking at the drugs that come in, I am sure they would vote against this amendment.
