it is not the special interests that have caused the Senate countless times to reject this policy. It is an amendment that puts Americans at risk, undermines the FDA's authority, and would have a devastating ripple effect throughout the country's drug supply by allowing foreign pharmaceuticals into the country. It is not simply about Canada. The Canadians themselves have said they cannot be expected to monitor all the drugs coming through Canada and into our country, and all the Web-based opportunities would allow untraceable drugs to come through Canada into the United States. This is about the health and security of the American people. That is why time after time the Senate has rejected it. It is why it should be rejected once again. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader.
