“Would the Senator be agreeable to this amendment if we reworded it, in fact, make it apply to the tobacco lawyers? I will certainly feel good about that. The reason it was done this way is because many of the plaintiffs' attorneys apparently have it on a contingency fee basis, probably have filed lawsuits, may be entitled to hundreds of millions of dollars and have done very little work. It would be an unjust enrichment, it appears to me. I would certainly entertain that amendment. I think it is a suggestion that we ought to incorporate.”
