On the recordJuly 29, 1998
I thank the gentlewoman not just for yielding this time to me, but for the continuous effort that she has expended in promoting the final moments which we are enjoying of the passage of this bill. As the gentlewoman knows, some 7 million fellow Americans are at this very moment living better lives because of the medical devices which have been developed over the years and which were in danger of being stopped dead in their tracks by the lack of the flow of materials, basic materials needed in their manufacture. So this bill will go a long way in guaranteeing to the people who look forward to these medical devices in the near and far future. We also want to put on the record the fact that the administration has nodded its head and given advanced approval of the bill so the prospects for its being signed into law are excellent.
