Sheldon Whitehouse: “Today I wish to thank my friend Senator Bill Nelson for his support of…”

On the recordFebruary 24, 2015

Today I wish to thank my friend Senator Bill Nelson for his support of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2014, S. 2839, which I introduced with Senators Portman, Klobuchar, Ayotte, and Leahy in the 113th Congress. Senator Nelson asked to be added as a cosponsor of the legislation in October, but his name was not recorded appropriately. I regret the oversight and wish to recognize Senator Nelson for his ongoing commitment to this important cause. I look forward to working together to address the Nation's opiate epidemic in the 114th Congress. ____________________
