ETI FILIBUSTER HOPES FADING?
October 08, 2004
The ETI bill passed out of the House-Senate conference Wednesday won approval by the full House of Representatives last night in a 280-141 vote. The Senate is the final obstacle to passage of the measure, but prospects for opponents to muster the 41 votes needed to block the bill with a filibuster appear dim.
Senator Kennedy from Massachussetts is leading the opposition because the conference report omitted a proposal to apply FDA regulation to the tobacco industry.
