I thank the chairman of the subcommittee for organizing this event. On behalf of the 1,419 Kentuckians who died of an opioid overdose in 2016, and the countless more who are currently suffering from opioid addiction, I rise today in…

I appreciate the chairman's diligent efforts to ensure our committee responds quickly and meaningfully to our Nation's opioid crisis.

I joined other Members of Congress in writing a letter to HHS in April 2018 asking the Department to update the Title X regulations.

Those options need to be available if somebody presents to a center that only does one and it is not the best treatment for them, they are not getting the best treatment.

I think that is an important thing among the array of services an individual would need to be successful.

It's important, and I know he would be so proud, as just to finish what my friend from California was saying.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I just want to talk about my good friend, Senator Bunning, a mentor to me. I first came across Senator Bunning when I was a young boy watching baseball and watching him pitch for the Detroit…

I am proud to say that so many members of this committee, including Chairwoman Foxx, played an instrumental role in creating the final version of WIOA that was signed into law.

It has been almost three years since the bipartisan Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act was signed into law, and now it is time for Congress to explore whether or not the included reforms are being turned into action.

I had the opportunity to visit the Center, and the building that I got to go visit was full of men and women who show up every day, who do exceptional work dealing with the disturbing issues, and so my hat is off to them. They deal with…
