On the recordMarch 18, 2013
this is a very important resolution. Thousands and thousands of people died from asbestos exposure. It is a dreadful product. People who have been exposed to it can get sick 30, 40, 50 years later. People who washed somebody's clothes who worked with asbestos can get sick and die. So I appreciate very much Senator Baucus and the others who sponsored this legislation. I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, and the motions to reconsider be laid upon the table, with no intervening action or debate. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The resolution (S. Res. 66) was agreed to. The preamble was agreed to. (The resolution, with its preamble, is printed in the Record of Thursday, February 28, 2013, under ``Submitted Resolutions.'') ____________________
