“If I may intervene, Mr. President, for one moment, with Senator DeWine's approval, we worked on issues that focus on protecting children's health in particular. We want the drunks off the highways. We want to get tobacco out of the grasp of children. We want them not to be seduced into smoking to look like they are bigshots, like they have grown up to a point. I remember the days--and I am sure the Senator from Ohio does--when athletes were endorsing tobacco products and doctors were endorsing tobacco products. Thank goodness we do not have that anymore. I commend the Senator from Ohio. I have always enjoyed working with him on issues. I pay my respects to his excellent work on this amendment. I hope it is adopted.”
