"The problem of methamphetamine, or meth, abuse is a serious problem facing our country today."

"I do think from a research perspective it is very important that we continue to make sure we have Federal support for basic research in all of these areas."

"I do think it is appropriate to discuss the national strategy and attack this particular issue in my opinion."

"I personally know the devastation that addiction can cause and even after meth addicts kick their habit, research shows these addicts experience permanent damage."
