“the Senate just passed a major bipartisan package to reauthorize the SUPPORT Act, and it is headed to President Trump's desk. Today is proof that despite our differences, bipartisan progress is possible. I am particularly pleased to be here with my colleague and chair of the HELP Committee Senator Cassidy, who has been instrumental in this fight and who will speak in just a moment. To our first responders, know that training and equipment are coming to help make your job easier. To our healthcare providers, know that resources are coming to help people get and stay in recovery. To those battling addiction, know that support is on the way. I am deeply grateful to a number of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, and I am looking forward to Senator Cassidy's comments just now. I am also grateful to Senator Sanders for working with me on getting this done as well as the advocates who knew we could not give up in this fight. This package will save lives, and I look forward to continuing to make available every tool we have to stop fentanyl. I yield the floor.”
