March 28, 1994 LB 137 to hurt some people. And probably the majority of those products, the overwhelming majority, are not going to be manufactured here in the State of Nebraska. And more importantly, a lot of the products, the few products that we do manufacture here in the state, they are sold outside the State of Nebraska, so they don't have an impact... they have to meet those standards of all the other 50 states as well. So they are being...they are under those product liability laws in those other states. I want to thank Senator Kristensen for bringing the amendment.
