Patrick Leahy actually said...

"I have never seen in my lifetime in this State a law enforcement community more fully committed to prevention and treatment efforts as we have right now."

"We have to have realistic discussions of the issues communities face from opiate and other substance abuse..."

"As you do, to the extent you can, can you keep me and my office and Congressman Welch and Senator Sanders posted on that, what you are finding?"

"If it works in the State system, we ought to adopt it at the federal system."
