I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6. This legislation will make a significant difference to tens of thousands of Americans who are struggling with addiction. I am pleased that my bill, the INFO Act, is part of the fight against the opioid crisis. The INFO Act is essential to ensuring we are providing behavioral health professionals, advocates, physicians, and families with the tools, resources, and funding information they need to prevent, identify, and treat addiction. Furthermore, H.R. 6 is critically important to stop the flow of illegal opioids, prevent the misuse of drugs, and help those who are addicted. With 190 Americans dying every day from overdoses, it is time to act now.
