William Pryor: “there is not one Member on this side of the aisle of the U.S. Senate trying to slow this bill down. We are not trying to…”

On the recordMay 7, 1996
there is not one Member on this side of the aisle of the U.S. Senate trying to slow this bill down. We are not trying to slow this bill down. We are trying to offer a simple sense-of-the-Senate resolution. We have been locked out. We are not going to be able to offer any amendments to this. Now, another amendment that could slow this bill down--and I assume the Senator from Utah is not going to let this Senator offer that amendment, talking about ``to right a wrong''--and that is to deal with the GATT loophole, the GATT loophole as it relates to Glaxo and Zantac, forcing the seniors of America, forcing the consumers of America and the veterans of America to pay an unreasonable fee for Zantac and other drugs, $5 million a day--$5 million a day. I do not see the Senator up here saying we have to right that wrong.

Absolutely. Mr. DeMINT. Madam President, I appreciate the Senator's comments. I do wish to make it clear that while Congress has set many safety standards, it is very unusual for us to select and prescribe the technology that will be used…
