Please be attentive on your signage for the veterans.

But as to specifics, do you have cameras now installed in your pharmacy to keep track of any attempted diversion?

How long is this going to help the vets?

So help me to understand. You have this DEA report. What are the corrective actions?

I am committed to working with my colleagues to get these vital life-saving bills passed into law.

I am particularly alarmed with the Chair about employee theft.

How are veterans from Denver going to get to this facility, people on fixed income, or from more rural communities?

I am trying to focus in here on the taxpayers' extent, the $1.6 billion, what are we going to get?

I think maybe adding one more step to the protocol rather than just some telephone call.

I thank my friend from Colorado for yielding, and I also thank the Representative from Georgia (Mr. Collins) for his words. In New Hampshire, right now, we have a four-times-greater chance of dying from a heroin or opiate overdose than a…

I am a co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional task force to combat the heroin epidemic, and we now have over 80 bipartisan members.

So I think we need a campaign where we are all speaking with one voice about the people that are getting treatment, that treatment works, that more people are getting treatment and surviving than are dying by suicide.

I will just close by thanking Mrs. Brooks of Indiana for her leadership, Mr. Kennedy for his leadership in offering this legislation, and thank Mr. Guinta for this amendment. I urge our colleagues to support this bipartisan amendment that…

I thank the gentleman, Mr. Guinta, for his leadership and to everyone who participated tonight. The idea behind a Special Order to put a face on this terrible heroin epidemic and addiction, generally, is to create compassion and empathy…
