It is my pleasure to yield an additional 1 minute to Mr. LaHood. Mr. LaHOOD. Mr. Chairman, this funding includes treatment for law enforcement and first responders, and criminal investigations for the unlawful distribution of these opioids. Opioid addiction transcends socioeconomic boundaries, racial, gender, regional, and educational boundaries. We need to address this crisis now. I thank my colleague, Mr. Sensenbrenner, and Chairman Goodlatte, for bringing this legislation forth. This is a problem that is preventable, and we are doing something about it this week in the Congress. I am proud to support this legislation. I look forward to supporting it.
