“That is my last word here. I know that the Senator is very familiar with what the State of Oregon has done. The constituents of Oregon have elected him because they feel he knows what is going on in that State. It does not sound to me as if the Senator from Oregon knows what the State of Indiana has done. They elected this Senator because they know I know what is going on in that State. So I think it is presumptuous for the Senator from Oregon to say what Indiana has done is incorrect when he does not even know what it is. All I am saying is I want to protect Indiana's right to make a determination of what is in the best interests of their citizens, and the Senator has answered my question. He preempts that part of our law which does not conform to what he thinks is right, but obviously it has to reflect what we in Indiana think is right. So I thank the Senator for his responses.”
