On the recordJuly 29, 1998

I thank the chairman. I know of his great interest in this area. And I know of his great support for our law enforcement agencies to crack down on the methamphetamine labs. I know your chairman is having the same experience out in his State, too, as we are in Iowa. I understand that you and the chairman, and Senator Kohl, are working on putting all this together. Obviously, it would be my intention to withdraw the amendment if this whole thing gets worked out. I am sure that we will get it worked out. I thank the Senators.
