“No, I would not. I happen to think the use of the word ``immunity'' is correct. The fact is that we are setting up a new structure here where, for the first time, we are giving product liability protection to an industry which clearly doesn't deserve it. The term ``immunity'' has become a term of art relative to that discussion. From my standpoint, the term of ``immunity'' properly defines that. If the Senator from Massachusetts wishes to define it in a more narrow sense and say, ``We are giving them product liability protection but we are not giving them immunity,'' that is the Senator from Massachusetts's definitional approach, and that is fine. But the point is the same. We are creating a unique, unusual, significant action which changes the jurisprudence that has dominated the marketplace in this country for 200 years.”
