Don Nickles: “There is a Scientific Advisory Committee, there is a National Tobacco Free Education Advisory Board. That concludes this…”

“There is a Scientific Advisory Committee, there is a National Tobacco Free Education Advisory Board. That concludes this list. And we haven't found them all yet. Since we also added the Lugar amendment, there are several provisions, some of which are similar but not near as extensive or as expensive as that provided in the Commerce Committee bill. It adds a tobacco community's revitalization trust fund, it adds a tobacco quota buyout, block grants, tobacco farmer assessment, and so on. I want to be fair on both sides of the tobacco argument. You add all that together, you have 30-some new programs funded in this bill. You have hundreds of billions of dollars funded in this bill. You have trial attorneys who, in all likelihood, will make over $100 billion out of this bill--$100 billion out of this bill. I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the Record new taxes, assessments, penalties, and new spending authorizations.”
