On the recordJuly 17, 2002
The Senator characterizes my views accurately, and I agree with the Senator that this bill should be moved independent of the drug bill. Unfortunately, the greater issue, or game, of the drug fight has been set up to lose so that nothing will happen, as the Senator from Arizona so appropriately pointed out. I do think this is important legislation. I hope we will pass it somehow. My concerns go to the expansion of lawsuits under the new cause of action. Much of the rest of the bill--in fact the vast majority of the rest of the bill--I think is excellent. I appreciate the work of the Senator from Arizona in bringing it forward.
