Executive Summary
PRODUCT LIABILITY REFORM MARK-UP BY SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE should be completed by this spring, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) predicted at a Feb. 26 press conference in Washington, D.C. Noting the failure of the legislation last session, McCain said: "We are going to do what we didn't do last year and that is sit down with the White House and try to resolve differences that we have." He added that sponsors of the bill "are already in negotiations with a lot of people to try to" forge a consensus on the issue.
