“I think we need to go to the statement he just read and see what was actually both said and the commitment that was made. Let me read the statement again. He just read it. The statement was-- and this statement made by me--``the Senate will begin a process for developing proposals that would allow for the safe reimportation of FDA-approved prescription drugs.'' So I do not think it is right for Senators on the other side of the aisle to characterize that statement as a commitment to bring it to the floor, have a vote on the floor of the U.S. Senate. So that is No. 1. No. 2, since that statement was made--and I think it was March 11--it was with the understanding to do exactly what was said; that is, to begin a process that is deliberate, that is thoughtful, that is inclusive, that captures the ideas of a whole range of U.S. Senators, with experts coming in to testify, to talk, to discuss, in committees, outside of committees. Since March 11, a tremendous amount has been done.”
