COBURN. for cosponsoring this amendment with me. and all of my colleagues who have worked on this issue. including many House Members. Each year. millions of Americans who cannot otherwise afford their prescription drugs go into Canada with a doctors prescription. buy FDAapproved drugs. and take them back into our country. We should not sick the police. the Customs and Border Protection agents on them. particularly in a postSeptember 11 world when that agency in particular has far more important priorities. I urge all of our colleagues in the Senate to support this simple. straightforward amendment. It is the right thing to do on this issue. It is the right thing to do with regard to setting the right priorities of Customs and Border Patrol.
