                NATIONAL PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKE BACK DAY

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, April 28 is National Prescription Drug Take 
Back Day.
  This is an opportunity to dispose of those expired or excess drugs 
that you may have in your home so that they are properly disposed of 
instead of ending up in a landfill, waterway, or, more importantly, the 
hands of children or other dangers that could affect people's health 
negatively.
  For information about that, check with the U.S. Department of 
Justice, the Drug Enforcement Agency, or your local police or pharmacy 
to look for the information for where you should take your excess, 
expired prescription drugs so we don't have a health risk, the 
endangerment of our children, or risk it ending up in the wrong place 
in the environment.
  Again, April 28 is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. Please 
participate.
