We were just at the White House--Republicans and Democrats--for the
President to sign the INTERDICT Act. I sponsored that bill with Senator
Rubio, Senator Markey, and Senator Brown. What it does is help give our
Customs and Border Patrol folks the ability to detect fentanyl when it
is coming in. We know it is coming in from across our borders,
principally from China, maybe China through Mexico. We need to equip
our Border Patrol agents to be able to stop that--interdict the flow of
that lethal substance. Just this week, The Hill newspaper published an op-ed about the
Martinsburg Initiative. Martinsburg is in West Virginia, in the Eastern
Panhandle.
