On the recordMarch 9, 1995
Mr. McINTOSH. Mr. Chairman, I rise in support of this amendment. It is vitally needed. In talking with one of the leading medical device industry specialists, Mr. Dane Miller of Indiana, he has told me it is becoming extremely difficult if not impossible for that industry to provide lifesaving devices because of the threat of liability. The reason: I think liability risks are forcing the suppliers of raw materials, companies such as DuPont and Dow Chemical which have an outstanding record will not take the risk of providing the materials because of the threat of liability. I urge Members to vote in favor of this amendment.
