On the recordJuly 8, 2003
The Senator is aware, is he not, the reason terrorism insurance was held up for so long is that Republicans wanted absolute tort reform, everything involving medical malpractice, slips and falls, rear-end automobile accidents--everything. We said: Why don't we just deal with terrorism insurance? We finally prevailed, and we have done a good job. There is construction going on all over America today, and they are able to go forward because they can get terrorism insurance based upon the legislation we passed. The Senator, as I understand it--I want to make sure I am correct in this--believes reform is needed?
