an explosive "60 minutes" report. it held congress helped disarm the organization during the high lied of the opioid crisis. it highlights the impact of new law sponsored by republicans and approved by democrats. >> drug overdose deaths in this country have more than doubled over this past decade. take a look at this map about what it looked like in 1999. and here's how it looked in 2015, just 16 years later. the cdc says more than 33,000 americans died from opioid-related overdoses in 2015 alone. >> joe ran zee city used to run the office of diverse control which regulated the pharmaceutical industry. he told bill whitaker on 60 minutes it was aided in part by congress, lobbyists, and the drug industry. >> fi was to write a book about how to harm the united states with pharmaceuticals, the only thing i can think of that would immediately harm is to take the authority away from the investigative agency that is trying to enforce the controlled substances act and the regulations implemented urnlt the act, and that's what this bill did. >> the bill introduced in the house by pennsylvania congressman thomas marino and marsha blackburn of tennessee was a way to make sure patients had access to the pain medication they needed. jonathan novak who worked in the dea's office said what the bill did is strip the agency of its ability to immediately free suspicion shipments of prescription narcotics to keep drugs off the streets, what the dea calls diversion. >> you're not going to be able to hold anyone higher up the food chain account snoobl because of this law. >> because of this law. >> how hard does it make your job in going after the wholesale distributors? >> i would say it makes it nearly impossible. >> this 2015 justice department memo we obtained supports that. it states the bill could actually result in increased diversion, abuse, and public health and safety consequences. >> they're toothless. you know, i don't -- i don't know how they stop this now. it's a very sad state of affairs. >> the investigation found the drug industry contributed to at least $1.5 million to 23 lawmakers who co-sponsored the new law. democratic senator clair

all the reaction. nancy, good morning. >> good morning. this bill was sold on capitol hill as a way tone sure that patients had access to pain medication, but former dea officials say that it actually stripped their agency of its ability to go after suspicious shipments. for example, when one town of 400 people in west virginia got 9 million hydrocodone pills over just two years. now, as bill whitaker mentioned, pennsylvania's tom marino and tennessee's marsha blackburn introduced this bill back in 2015. each of them received significant contributions that year from the pharmaceutical industry. more than $70,000 for marino, more than $160,000 for marsha blackburn and $177,000 went to utah senator orrin hatch who negotiated this bill with the dea. it ended up passing with unanimous consent and signed by president obama. former administration officials, some of them now say they didn't realize how much this one bill would change things. we reached out to marino and blackburn's offices for a comment. they did not respond. senator hatch's office told the "washington post" that his office actually collaborated with the dea and that the agency, charlie, had many opportunities to put the brakes on this. >> nancy, thanks. a justice department memo shows 65 doctors, pharmacists, around drug companies received suspension orders in 2011 before the new law. this year only six have gotten them. and the dea has issued no suspension orders to a distributor for nearly two years. the agency says in a statement it will continue to, quote, use all our tools at our disposal to combat this epidemic. paula reid is in washington with other factors that interfere with enforcement. paula, good morning. >> good morning. the justice didn't does not dispute any 60 minutes recording. they say it's a top priority for the trump administration but it mate have been involved in a closed door. 32 from the division that regulate the drug industry have been hired by the pharmaceutical industry since scrutiny on the distributors began. among them linden barber, former associate chief counsel at the dea. he's now senior vice president after card gnat health one of the nation's top drug distributors. mike gill was hired by one of the country's largest health care firms and jason hadges overseeing enforcement joined the pharmaceutical division of a high-powered d.c. law firm. we reached out to former acting'administrationer chuck rosenberg who oversaw the agency in 2015 to earlier this month when he stepped down. he said he has not seen the 60 minutes story and does not plan on watching. >> thanks. enforcement is taking place at the state level. 41 attorneys general are demanding information and documents from prescription opioid manufacturers and contributors. the attorney general says he's part of that investigation. he says 13 people die every day from drug addiction. demarco morgan is in williamsport, pennsylvania. demarco, good morning. >>

drugs were dispensed throughout the state. >> his addiction did not define who he was. >> reporter: after watching 60 minutes on sunday, todd says he's outraged how congress, lobbyists, and the drug distribution industry have got on the the opioid epidemic. >> what do you say to congress? >> i'd like to have trump's ear to talk to congress, the senate, and reverse that bill. >> i might just tell them about our son. >> and what would those words be? >> i don't know. but it's not an easy road. if there are things that are hindering the war on drugs, then they need to stop. >> reporter: a fund-raiser in honor of thad on sunday raised more than $3,000 for a resling scholarship at the local high school and a substance abuse program. >> demarco, thank you so much. such a troubling story.

classic, sam shepherd played chuck yeager who flew faster than the speed of sound. they celebrated the 70th anniversary in california. 94-year-old chuck yeager was there to commemorate the event. >> wow. nasa engineers are working to bring supersonic aviation. jeff glor returns with a story you will see only on "cbs this morning." good morning. >> charlie, good morning to you. the only passenger plane that flew faster than sound was the concorde back in the '70s, '80ings, and '90s. it was only allowed to do that over the ocean because the sound effect is damaging and unsettling. today nasa is working to lower the boom so airlines can quietly cut the sound and achieve those speeds 70 years after chuck yeager's achievements. >> i heard the sonic boom, and we knew right there that he had brought in a new air force, a new supersonic air force. >> reporter: bob cardenas blue the b 29 bomber that dropped chuck yeager's x1 out of the sky and into the history books. >> once we could go beyond the speed of sound, it was the gateway to space. >> reporter: that mow meantous event 70 years ago did lead to space travel but not supersonic commercial air travel mostly because of this. a series of loud booms cause when a supersonic sound creates a sound like a bomb and shake, even break windows. nasa arrowspace engineer ed hearihai herring is trying to fix that. he and his team are working to lower the blast force and ka cough news sound of sonic booms. >> this is completely redesigning planes. >> right. >> they've designed an experimental plane known as a low boom flight demonstrator available in four years. the ultimate goal, make supersonic commercial flight a realtd for everyone. >> if it takes five or six hours to get from new york to los angeles, in 20 years you hope it takes how long? >> half the time. a six-hour trip will become a three-hour trip. >> reporter: until it's done, it falls to test pilots like nils larson. to do that larson has to execute a complicated amount of contortions. >> we're going to roll inverted, pull down do 53 degrees nose low, roll out and start a dive pullout to about 3.5 gs. >> sounds easy. >> yeah. it's not that hard. >> reporter: on this day, larson has a new co-pilot. >> starting to look like he's fixing to go flying. >> i need the nils shades. >> reporter: in a mission to show us how low the sonic boom can go. >> in this first round we're going to go up to about 35,000 beam. >> you're giving them the normal boom. >> right. this is the normal boom that most airplanes out there would produce today. >> reporter: back down on the ground, herring and his microphones are listening and collecting data. >> that's supersonic. >> supersonic right now. >> so we've just completed the normal boom. we're about to try the low sonic booms. >> reporter: but to execute the low boom maneuver, larson must first climb to 49,000 feet. >> so when he in verted and went down and came back up. >> yep. that's exactly it. >> reporter: a few seconds later, back on the ground. herring's information showed a reduction. back then it was obviously a huge deal to go supersonic. now we do it daily. i'm still part of that team going out there doing supersonic research, so that's pretty cool. >> the plan is to use flights like this to get more data and feedback. nasa will use that in the newly designed planes when they start flying. unlike our flight, that plane will not have to go inverteted a 49,000 feet and then dive straight down. it will create a low boom by flying level and very, very fast. >> compare this to nothing experience you've done in the past. >> nothing like it. nothing like it. just because you're at 49,000 feet and we're spinning over and then you're diving straight down 20,000 feet in 15 seconds or so. >> better you than me. >> and coming straight back up that i'm so jealous, so jealous. >> next time. >> great piece. >> love it. love it. all right. ahead, this morning's other

>> because i think that the drug industry, the manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and chain drugstores have an influence over congress that has never been seen before, and these people came in with their influence and their money and got a whole statute changed because they didn't like it. >> seven months after the bill became law, congressman marino's pointman on the legislation, his chief of staff bill ty, became a lobbyist for the national association of chain drug stores. since the crackdown on the distributors began, the pharmaceutical industry and law firms that represent them have hired at least 46 investigators, attorneys and supervisors from the dea, including 32 directly from the division that regulates the drug industry. mike gill, chief of staff for the dea administrator, was hired by hdjn, one of the country's largest health care law firms. and most recently, jason hadges, a senior dea attorney overseeing enforcement cases during the slowdown, joined the pharmaceutical and regulatory divisi division of dc-based law firm of hogan lovell. he declined to speak with us. >> democratic senator claire mccaskill says she will introduce a bill today to repeal the enforcement restrictions that took effect last year. dihip pain pillsth drug from manufacturers to drug stores. republican members of congress tom marino and marcia blackburn promoted it as a way to ensure patients had access to medication they needed. former dea official told bill whittaker the law made it hard to stop prescription drugs from being shipped to bad pharmacies and doctor's office. coauthor his paper on the joint investigation with "60 minutes" and joins us from washington. good morning, lenny. an incredible piece in "the post" and on "60 minutes" to read the whole thing. you talked to a who-year dea veteran who said this was a business plan. are these drug distributors complicit in this epidemic? >> well, they certainly have been caught numerous times over and over and over again not reporting suspicious orders of these opioid pain pills from doctors and pharmacies. that is the law. they must report those things. they must report them to the dea and say, hmm, this guy ordered 20,000 pills last month, now he wants 100,000 pills, we are a little worried about that. over and over and over again they did not do that and those pills found their way into the hands of users and dealers. >> the question becomes why did they not report it, right? >> right. is it because they want to make money? is it because it is too difficult for them to keep track of all of these pills? is it because they just were not geared up to do this kind can of due diligence? it doesn't really matter. the law is the law. i can't just not report my taxes because i have some reason that prohibits me from doing my taxes. you've got to do it. they've got to find a way to do it. if those pills spill out on to the street by hundreds of millions, it is their responsibility. >> this bill was written by former dea official, passed by unanimous consent of congress. what was the argument that made that happen? >> the argument that made that happen, the argument that sold this bill on capitol hill was that legitimate pill users, legitimate pain-killer userers were not getting their drugs in an efficient manner and congressman marino and others brought it to congress and said, well, i've got all of these folks out there who do need these pills and they're not able to get them when they need them because the dea is out of control, because the dea is cracking down so hard on these distributors that folks are not getting their drugs. well, there's nothing in the law that actually changes that at all, and the evidence for that was actually sort of anecdotal. where is the evidence for the fact that these pills were ending up in the hands of dealers and users, was quite substantial. >> lenny, the dea told us only a minute fraction of the 1.7 million individuals with dea registrations are involved in the inappropriate distribution of these drugs. how impactful is that fraction? >> well, that's true, but the impact that one single fapharma can have is enormous. as we reported and you at "60 minutes" reported you had a single pharmacy in west virginia that put millions of pills on a street in a town of several hundred people. two pharmacies in sanford, florida in the time frame before 2012 that put millions of pills on the street by themselves, and the underground network gets to know where these pharmacies are and people come from far and wide, from appalachia all the way to florida, from ohio, and they get those pills. if you have a rogue doctor or a rogue pharmacist, the impact is enormous. >> what's been the response to the piece on "60 minutes" on sunday night and "the washington post" above-the-lead on sunday? >> we heard from the dea, we heard from the drug driistributs that have made several arguments that are true but relevant. we will see what happens on capitol hill. >> tom marino is nominated to be the next drug czar?
