                       CORRECTION FOR THE RECORD

  Mr. GREGG. Mr. President, I wish to correct a press release issued by 
my office on August 2, 2007. In this release, we correctly quoted 
Senator Baucus during the SCHIP debate when he stated, ``We're the only 
country in the industrialized world that does not have universal 
coverage. I think the Children's Health Insurance Program is another 
step to move toward universal coverage.''
  Due to a misplaced quotation mark in the release, the following 
statement I made on the floor was included in the same quotation 
attributed to Senator Baucus: ``Everyone realizes that the goal of this 
legislation moves us a giant step further down the road to 
nationalizing healthcare, which would result in a drop in quality and 
in rationing.'' Although this is an accurate quote, it should have been 
attributed to me and not Senator Baucus, and I apologize for any 
confusion that our press release may have created.
