this is about reimportation. There is a clear majority in the Congress to pass reimportation legislation. I think there is a clear 60-vote majority in the Senate to do so. So why aren't we getting on with that business? Let's do it. This simply says we should take up a full-blown reimportation bill, with all the necessary safety provisions, and have that debate and vote on the floor of the Senate this year. It is as simple as that. We have the votes. Let's do that.
