On the recordJune 12, 1996
I wish that he would have brought along a wine bottle also because on the side of the wine bottle there is a warning label concerning that person's health. Since the gentleman represents a district where there are grape growers and he represents the wine industry, I wonder why it is different that there is support for the wine industry. I noticed he voted for the Kennedy amendment. Why should there be a difference in that and the tobacco farmer? I just thought that would be a good question to ask.
