I regret that I have to oppose the amendment sponsored by the two Senators from Alabama. In some respects, I am sorry that I have to do so, but I believe that I have good and sufficient reasons for doing so. First, the senior Senator from Alabama said that this was included in previous product liability bills, which is certainly true. But those previous product liability bills did not have rules like this relating to punitive damages.
