I thank the chairman and the ranking member. I rise to support a bipartisan amendment that I have offered with my colleague, the gentlewoman from Michigan (Mrs. Dingell), which helps communities combat the opioid and heroin epidemic by increasing funding for the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program by $2 million. Across the country, HIDTA officials are doing important work to curb drug trafficking and bring law enforcement and community stakeholders together to stem the tide of drugs like heroin and fentanyl. Providing these additional resources will allow for even more local partnerships to fight drug trafficking. I urge adoption of the amendment.
