Mr. President. I wanted to take a moment to note my vote for the amendment offered to H.R. 5441 by Senator VrrrER. Senator VITTERs amendment would prohibit the U.S. Customs and Border Protection from using funds to prevent individuals from importing a prescription drug from Canada that complies with the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act. FDCA. The strong support demonstrated today for Senator ViTTERs amendment reemphasizes the importance of the issue of allowing Americans to import prescription drugs. I have long advocated allowing American consumers access to safe drugs from other countries. In 2000. 2002 and 2003 I supported amendments permitting reimportation of prescription drugs from Canada.
