Trent Lott: “A lot of effort has been put into the Food and Drug Administration reform legislation. The committee reported it out by…”

On the recordJuly 31, 1997
A lot of effort has been put into the Food and Drug Administration reform legislation. The committee reported it out by a, I believe, 14 to 4 vote. It was an overwhelming bipartisan vote. A tremendous effort has been underway to get an agreement on that legislation and to bring it to the floor. I think we should do that and, if I have to, I will begin a cloture proceeding the week we come back because I think this reform is very important. Some parts of it in the law will expire, I believe, at the end of August and will begin to have an impact in September and October. I ask unanimous consent that the Senate now turn to the consideration of S. 830 regarding FDA reform.

When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We`re proud of him. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn`t have had all these problems over all these years either.

You've got to do that every now and then. Even though you might get your little flak from some of the people within your conference. It's called leadership.
