“I also want to note that I have filed three other bills today; in particular, the Curt Flood Act of 1997, which is the baseball antitrust bill that I believe now is coming to fruition, which is something that we have tried to do for a long time. We have named it after Curt Flood, who died a day or so ago, and who really deserves the recognition because of the fights that he led on this act in organized baseball. That is S. 53. We have also filed S. 54, which is the Federal Gang Violence Act of 1997, a bill by Senator Feinstein and myself. She has worked very hard with me and others on the Judiciary Committee, and we certainly want to mention her sterling work on that bill. Finally, the Civil Justice Fairness Act of 1997, which is already introduced.”
