Mr. Chairman, psychedelic-assisted therapies have the potential to be the first genuine advancement in the treatment of veterans' mental health in decades. It is essential that the VA continue their efforts to research these compounds and do everything they can to ensure that they have trained therapists and that those trained therapists are ready to meet the need to provide these new breakthrough treatments once they receive FDA approval. Mr. Chair, again, I strongly encourage my colleagues to support this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Bergman). The amendment was agreed to. Amendment No. 2 Offered by Mr. Bergman The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 2 printed in part B of House Report 118-535.
