On the recordMarch 12, 2002
Let me again say what it relates to. Specifically, the data used in the study is from 1993--not 2002. It fails to reflect the changes in passenger protection. It doesn't reflect dual airbags. It doesn't reflect what we have in our bill, which is rollover safety. Ten thousand people lost their lives last year because SUVs roll over. They have a 75-pound roof. The car is so heavy that it crushes them. The industry has resisted that protection. For a small cost, you could save those 10,000 lives. That is in our bill. It is not in their bill.
