James M. Jeffords: “I offer my appreciation to the many contributions from Chairman Gregg…”

On the recordJuly 22, 2004

I offer my appreciation to the many contributions from Chairman Gregg, Ranking Member Kennedy, and Senators Frist, Breaux, Enzi, Sessions, Dodd, and Bingaman. We legislate many essential issues in the Congress, but rarely can we say that what we do is a matter of life and death. This, however, is one of those issues. The time to act is long overdue. This is an area where delay will lead to deaths that can be prevented. I urge all of my colleagues to vote in support of this bill.
