Grassley
Direct
Last
week
I
spoke
with
Eric
VanSickle
of
the
Waverly
Newspapers
and
Maureen
Olsen
of
the
Neola
Gazette
about
the
war
on
terror,
the
Supreme
Court
and
the
Medicare
Diabetes
Prevention
Act.
Listen
here.
Q&A:
Senate
Judiciary
Committee
Q.
What
issues
are
handled
by
the
Senate
Judiciary
Committee?
Q.
What
has
the
Judiciary
Committee
achieved
so
far
this
Congress?
Q.
What's
something
about
the
Judiciary
Committee
people
are
surprised
to
learn?
Quick
Links:
- Food
security
concerns
are
being
raised
about
a
state
owned
company
in
China
that
wants
to
buy
agricultural
giant
Syngenta.
I’ve
begun
urging
the
Department
of
the
Treasury
to
include
experts
at
the
Department
of
Agriculture
and
the
Food
and
Drug
Administration
in
the
review
of
the
merger.
- An
undocumented
immigrant
charged
with
killing
a
young
Iowan
while
drag
racing
drunk
skipped
his
court
appearance
and
remains
at
large
after
immigration
authorities
ignored
requests
to
detain
him.
I’m
seeking
an
explanation
for
why
the
Obama
Administration
failed
to
act.
- I’m
asking
the
Justice
Department
why
it
appears
to
have
prosecuted
so
few
IRS
impersonation
scams,
despite
the
vast
prevalence
of
such
crimes.
- The
United
States
needs
to
enforce
unfair
trade
practices.
Here’s
the
latest
example.
- Federal
agencies
are
too
slow
on
some
anti-opioid
abuse
measures
and
send
mixed
messages
on
marijuana.
