Tina Smith: “I again would like to thank my colleagues for agreeing to fight for…”

On the recordDecember 20, 2001

I again would like to thank my colleagues for agreeing to fight for these provisions during conference. It was with great reluctance that Senator Jeffords and I agreed to allow S. 1765 to be brought to the floor without our legislation included so that we can move forward on this important bill and conference it with the House. However, it is important that these immediate needs be addressed and that our proposals be included in the final legislation. I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure that the provisions we agreed to that comprise the modified versions of S. 1593 and S. 1608 are included in the bioterrorism bill.
