                        Tuesday, October 1, 2019

  Mr. TRONE. Madam Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
include in the Record a statement from Faces and Voices of Recovery in 
recognition of National Recovery Month.

                      Faces and Voices of Recovery

       For 30 years, National Recovery Month has provided an 
     opportunity for communities nationwide to celebrate the fact 
     that recovery from addiction is not only possible, but it is 
     a reality for over 23 million Americans and their families. 
     Faces & Voices of Recovery, representing the organized 
     recovery advocacy movement in the U.S., extends our sincere 
     gratitude to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
     Administration (SAMHSA) for sponsoring National Recovery 
     Month and to members of Congress who work tirelessly to 
     listen to the real stories of individuals and families 
     impacted by addiction and those who have found long-term 
     recovery. Together we can find solutions and continue to 
     build on the foundation of Congressional support in recent 
     years to make recovery possible for even more Americans.
