On the recordJuly 10, 2003
Absolutely. I know the gentleman wants to catch his plane, but I just want to say this. Regardless of what happens in the next week or two, we are not going to go away. This issue will not go away. We will stay here, on a bipartisan basis, every night for the next 6 months, 9 months, 3 years. We are not going away. The issue is not going to go away. There is no way that our leadership, the administration, the FDA, the drug companies can defend a situation where Americans pay two and a half times more for the same drugs than our counterparts in Germany. I am not going to give up, my colleagues here tonight are not going to give up, and God bless you all.
