Just as importantly, we lost a student in Duluth and a
mom in Rochester, MN--over 400 people in just the last year. We
continue to see dangerous synthetic opioids shipped across our borders
in increasing amounts--a trend that the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection expects to continue, as we heard in a Judiciary Committee

Security and Governmental Affairs, and we talked about what is going on
from that perspective as well. While there is more work to do to combat this epidemic, first, I
recognize that we have made some meaningful progress on a bipartisan
basis.
