Orrin Hatch: “Having set out the 1998 IOM study, I compare its tone and ask the Senator if he agrees with the April 1998 CBO report…”

On the recordMay 20, 1998
Having set out the 1998 IOM study, I compare its tone and ask the Senator if he agrees with the April 1998 CBO report called ``The Proposed Tobacco Settlement: Issue From a Federal Perspective?'' Now, this CBO paper examines the literature and paints a far murkier picture of the state of evidence than did the IOM study. For example, the first sentence of this section, entitled ``Response of Youth'' states--and I ask the Senator if he is aware of this quote--``In contrast with the consistent responsiveness of adults to changes in price, the evidence on how young people respond is highly variable?''
