This topic were what do people say to you, is it a little bit weird to be discussing and i said yes i guess it is but i find it fascinating and i think that its a significant assassination certainly affected not only American History that World History and i give a few examples in my introduction about the fact that after all its face it, world war i began because of an assassination and of course we had the fall of the Roman Republic because of an assassination and we have our country itself divided when Abraham Lincoln was of course murdered in 1865 and we are still reverberating from the events around john f. Kennedy in 1963 but its a lot more than looking at Abraham Lincoln and john f. Kennedy. Assassination has been a common theme in history but also in American History and i devoted a chapter to each president who faced a direct assassination attempt both those who were assassinated into those who were wounded and were also president ial candidates which i havent seen anybody els

The presiding officer does any senator wish to vote or change their vote . If not, on the schumer amendment number 3483, it is not agreed to. 42 aye, 54 nay. A senator mr. President . The presiding officer the senator from ohio. Mr. Portman mr. President , i rise today to urge my colleagues in the house of representatives to pass the legislation we passed here in the senate a few weeks ago called the comprehensive addiction and recovery act, or cara. We passed it on march 10. That was 27 days ago, almost a month. Every day we lose about 120 americans, they say, to drug overdoses. That means during that time period, those 27 days, weve lost about 3,240 additional americans who we represent to Substance Abuse and death from heroin and Prescription Drug overdoses.
