Whether the agreement will be implemented remains, obviously, a question mark that we will detail in negotiations. Different elements of the agreement. It is a complicated manner, but it is important that the agreement has been confirmed. Also, quite important is the lift of the veto the United States had on negotiations between brazil and the oecd geared toward brazil.

The Senate Committee on Health Education labor and Pensions Committee will come to order. Debbie talk about the Opioid Crisis the number one Public Health changes good out witness todays sam quinones. The author of dreamland, a true tale of americas Opioid Epidemic. Senator murray and i will each have an Opening Statement and then i will introduce the witness. Then we will hear from mr. Sam quinones and senators will each have five minutes of questions.
