“Methamphetamine continues to ravage our communities. Now is the time, in my opinion, to take immediate and aggressive action and to continue immediate and aggressive action to bring it under control. We cannot allow this crisis to continue. I have traveled with local law enforcement and drug rehabilitation experts throughout my district, and I have seen firsthand the damage this is reaping on our communities. Today, I am proud to support this amendment to make an extra $15 million available to the Drug Enforcement Agency to assist the cost in cleaning up meth labs. Meth is the greatest threat to our young people I have ever seen. In fact, I would tell my colleagues that, in my lifetime, I have never seen anything more threatening internally to our country than what I perceive methamphetamine to be. And it is a real threat, and we are in a battle that we must win. We must win this.”
