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.
