Yes, we have. I believe those laws can be valuable and help enhance highway safety and antidrunk driving initiatives, as well as encourage the responsible service of alcoholic beverages. Section 104 of the conference report is an example of a provision in the very bill we are considering which tries, in a small way, to discourage alcohol and drug abuse in this country. Section 104 tells persons that, if they are drunk or on drugs and that is the principal cause of an accident, they will not be rewarded through the product liability system.
