Statement of Joan Claybrook, President of Public Citizen, On Products Liability Cloture Vote
WASHINGTON - July 9 -

"The stench from the products liability bill proved too much for the Democrats to bear, and their vote against cloture should spell the end of the bill. Today's revolt against Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott's hamfisted attempt to ram it through reveals the depth of concern about this attack on consumers. The bill is bulging with special interest favors written by an assortment of corporations, and Senator Lott should immediately drop this loophole-riddled, corrupt legislation."
