I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of division A (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

I thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for their bipartisan approach, and I urge a ``yes'' vote from all my colleagues. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

I am not for overregulating. I am just asking the question, does Congress have a role to play in it or not?

But Congress does have a role when it starts crossing states' lines.

I would argue that the Overdose Prevention and Patient Safety Act does both.

I believe strikes the right balance of maintaining and strengthening patient protections, while allowing for the limited sharing of substance use disorder treatment records.

I have the information right here. And I know that you can give your opinion, but we are dealing with facts here.

Treating patients' substance use disorder in isolation from their medical conditions... is not the standard of good medical practice today.

Congressman Blumenauer and myself, we don't typically agree on a whole lot, but when we start talking about this, we do agree 100 percent on this issue.

It has never been. It has never been.

You are making an assumption here that is actually not accurate.

I just want to commend you on your ability to not just invent something but to see it through its growth.

As a business owner, I have a demographic that I go after, and I search advertisers that market to that demographic.

This is about patients. It is not about opinion or maybes.

I want to dig in a little bit on some stuff that you have been saying. And I respect your opinion, but I have a problem with the fact that you are trying to push it off as facts.

The practice of requiring substance-use disorder information to be more private than information regarding other chronic illnesses, such as cancer or heart disease, in itself can be stigmatizing.

I am committed to working with you, and the industry is wanting to work with you.

I am proud to be the sponsor of the legislation to reauthorize the Animal Drug User Fee Act and its generic version.

We are wanting to see this move forward, I mean, because under--I mean, as we know, underneath the idea, which passed in 2004, we've only seen, what, four different drugs that's actually been able to come out of it.

Well, as a cattle owner, which--you know, I don't think we could quite make a living off our cattle because I still think the fastest way to become a millionaire running cattle is start with two million--you will get to a million.

But there has to be a common area that's reached here, because I can tell you personally in our experience--and I am surrounded by other cattle owners--when we took away the ability to actually buy medicated feed, it actually cost the…
