I think that encourages young people to say it is OK, you know, I mean that for some reason it is, and that is just my belief.

A little bit of fentanyl goes a long way, which makes it harder for law enforcement to track.

The fentanyl crisis is particularly dangerous because of its high potency.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 80 to 100 times stronger than morphine.

I was proud to work with these three landmark bills which are advancing treatment and recovery initiatives.

We have continued to ask questions and demand answers for the American people.

The Energy and Commerce Committee has been steadfast in its efforts to help combat the opioid crisis.

Thank you, Chair DeGette, for holding this important hearing.

The threat is real, and it has been growing over the past few years.

This rule tells what you can or cannot say to your patients.

Thank you very much and I want to follow on what you just said with nondirective pregnancy counseling.

I'd like to remind them that these changes make the regulatory framework governing the Title X program nearly identical to the regulatory framework created by Reagan era regulations.

The Trump Administration took an important step toward improving program integrity and ensuring that Title X funds are used consistently with the statutory intent.

None of the funds appropriated under this title shall be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning.

The Title X program has helped a lot of men and women in my home state of Kentucky.

I want to be clear--we all want clean air, clean water, and environmental protection; but those things do not have to be achieved at the expense of jobs, prosperity, and national security.

Thank you, Chair DeGette, for holding this hearing to focus on the future of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Thank you for having this, Madame Chair, and thanks for everybody being here and this committee, the full committee has been working together, both sides of the aisle to try to figure out how do we reach out to more people.

Does this mean that utilities that are located in an area that is already in attainment... are being forced to achieve levels below the standard?

So the question isn't that these don't need to be regulated; of course, it's how they're regulated in accordance with the way Congress instructed the EPA.
