“I think it is the same, as I outlined in my remarks, since it passed the House and the Senate. I see no reason why we cannot expedite passage of this matter. I have delayed introducing it only because there were many other things going on, but I think, even as important as those matters are, that we should get going on this. Certainly, I was not aware of the sad fact that two members of his family have been killed by a drunk driver. Hardly a week goes by but that something very similar happens in the State of Nebraska, where the population compared with other States is smaller and we hear more about it. There are some things that we can do, rather than just sit back and wring our hands. There are some things, and I think the Federal Government can legitimately be of assistance to the States. I must tell the Senator that this piece of legislation was sparked primarily by a typically tragic teenage accident that happened in my State not too many months ago where young people, 16 and 17 years of age, went out for a good time at night. The problem was that the driver had one too many half-cans of beer. It is a tragic.”
