ATTORNEY GENERAL
Statement of Hubert Humphrey III,
Attorney General of Minnesota,
in Response to Letter From the
Koop-Kessler Commission to Congress
February 17, 1998
"Today, a united public health community put the last nail in the coffin of
the tobacco industry's quest for unprecedented immunity from the laws that
govern all other American businesses. For nearly a year, I have urged Congress to
remember what our public health leaders have said so clearly today: the
Constitution entrusts American health policy to the people and their elected
representatives; and it does not give Big Tobacco a line-item veto.
"Congress does not need the permission of this outlaw industry to protect
future generations from the most deadly products ever sold. All it needs is the
courage to do what's right. Under the leadership of Doctors Koop and Kessler,
health leaders are closing ranks to help Congress do the right thing, and to hold
this outlaw industry accountable at last for its decades of denial, deception and
double-talk."
