I had the chance to at least hear the end of Senator Capito's speech. I thank her for the work she has done on the opioid issue that she was talking about. It is one of the very productive areas of bipartisanship going all the way back to CARA with Senator Portman and myself. I know West Virginia, like Rhode Island, had a terrible situation. I appreciate very much her comments. ____________________

Most of the dealbreaker humps we’re over, but now it’s refining the language, taking raw agreements into legislative texts and figuring out what schedule for voting succeeds.
We introduced the Disaster Relief Fairness Act in July, which would require the federal government to approve disaster aid when a state meets FEMA’s criteria for assistance.
