BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BRAT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Chairman Brady, Chairwoman Foxx, and Chairman Walden for addressing opioid and substance abuse disorders and their work on H.R. 6, the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act. I am grateful to my colleagues for treating the crisis with the urgency it deserves.

In my district, this crisis has affected way too many. I am also grateful that my bill, H.R. 5889, the Recognizing Early Childhood Trauma Related to Substance Abuse Act of 2018 was included in the final package before us today.
