Statement from the Press Secretary Regarding the Passage of Over 50 Bills by the House of Representatives to Combat the Opioid and Drug Demand Crisis

We admire the House of Representatives by passing over fifty comprehensive bills over the past two weeks to combat the opioid and drug demand crisis. Without additional legislation of allies in Congress, the ongoing work of Donald J. Trump and his government to solve this important problem is impossible. These necessary bills help to save Americans' lives by prevention and education, healing and rehabilitation, and law enforcement agencies and obstructions. Ultimately, this law reflects and advances some of the key elements of presidential drug demand and the reduction of domestic narcotics supply, by parliament to cope with a single drug crisis in American history It will be the most important effort. We are looking forward to working with Congress to solve problems that affect everyone and everyone should tackle this problem. We strongly urge the Senate to continue its bipartisan tradition of allowing Americans affected by the crisis to quickly pass the House of Representatives bill and send these life saving bills to the President's desk To request. The enactment of this law will be another step in our long-term but valuable efforts to finish and improve the crisis.

Last month, the House of Representatives passed over 70 bipartisan bills aimed at fighting the opioid crisis. Jeff Sessions Justice Minister Jeff Sessions announced in a speech earlier this year that the Justice Department is implementing a strategy aimed at "reducing the number of deaths"
