“I am glad that there are at least some folks that are coming down here in a very bipartisan way talking about drugs but, unfortunately, that is not happening all the way across the board. Just to clear up a couple of things that have been discussed here today. I was at a meeting. It was not staff that had the meeting with Customs about whether or not to put these changes in in section B. I was at the meeting. They asked for it. They are part of the administration. It has been a bipartisan effort to make these changes from the beginning. If somebody did not happen to be at the meeting, that is not my fault. That is not Customs' fault. But this has been going on for a long time. And I realize that there are a few people that have got their noses out of joint. But it is not because, I do not believe, they believe we should not be doing things about drugs. It is for other reasons. Let me just tell my colleagues a little bit about this bill that I think we need to consider. One is that there is no abrogation of contract. All right? There is no such thing as that in this bill.”
