“If we don't finish this product now, if we don't get a tobacco bill completed in the Senate, in my judgment, we probably will never get it done. We have come a long, long ways.

There are some in the Senate, however, who are intent on trying to kill the legislation. So we have been tied up here in legislative knots, going through some amendments, but going through a process that has led some to conclude that maybe this bill ought to get pulled, maybe we ought to go to something else.”
