                  PAUL AMENDMENT NO. 3941 TO H.R. 5371

  Ms. KLOBUCHAR. Mr. President, I rise today to discuss my concerns 
regarding the hemp provisions in this bill. I voted against the motion 
to table Paul amendment No. 3941. I strongly support protecting kids 
and ensuring they do not have access to harmful products. The 
provisions in the funding bill, however, did not strike the right 
balance and would have put small businesses and jobs in my State at 
risk. I believe efforts by Congress to regulate hemp products should 
account for States like Minnesota that already have strong regulations 
in place rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Moving forward, we 
should protect our kids and support our small businesses.
