                          Friday, May 13, 2016

  Mr. FORBES. Mr. Speaker, due to the recent passing of my mother I was 
unable to cast my vote today for an important piece of legislation. Had 
I been in the chamber, I would have voted YES on the House amendment to 
S. 524, the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016. This 
legislation will help to strengthen a variety of different treatment 
and prevention programs to combat heroin and opioid addiction.
