We are looking forward to a year of trying to make more progress on an issue that is of great concern to all of us. Just a recap of last year briefly. Last year the comprehensive addiction and recovery act was passed by the house and senate and passed into law. It provided with resources to address the opiod and heroin epidemic. We passed the act at the very end of the 114th congress. It added an additional 1 billion of funding to combat this epidemic. The house rolled out in the course of one week 18 bills last year that really became the foundation and much of the detail of what ultimately was passed into law. There is still a lot of work to be done. Last year over 52,000 americans died of a dress overdose, 52,000. 33,000 of them were opiod related deaths. Thats hundreds of people on any given day that are dying. This week is just beginning and we lost people already. First we educate members of congress and issue of affordable and effective treatment, Law Enforcement issues, etceter
