Grassley
Direct
I
spoke
with
Jim
Fisher
of
WOC
radio
in
Davenport
about
tax
reform,
the
appropriations
bill,
health
care
and
the
wind
energy
production
tax
credit.
Q&A:
Opioid
Public
Health
Crisis
Q.
Why
is
the
opioid
epidemic
considered
a
public
health
crisis?
Q.
What
solutions
are
being
developed
to
address
this
public
health
crisis?

President
Trump,
the
Senate
and
the
Senate
Judiciary
Committee,
which
I
chair,
helped
confirm
a
record
number
of
circuit
court
judges
in
President
Trump's
first
year
in
office.
In
response
to
the
New
York
Port
Authority
terrorist
attack,
I
am
requesting
background
information
on
the
attacker,
Akayed
Ullah.
Ullah
benefitted
from
the
controversial
immigration
occurrence
known
as
chain
migration.
He
received
a
visa
based
on
an indirect
familial
connection
to
a
U.S.
citizen
rather
than
his
skills
or
potential
economic
contribution
to
the
U.S.
As
chairman
of
the
Senate
Judiciary
Committee,
I
conducted
a
hearing
on
the Ensuring
Patient
Access
and
Effective
Drug
Enforcement
Act.
It’s
critical
that
we
help
to
strengthen
our
law
enforcement
efforts
without
preventing
legitimate
access
to
medications
that
real
patients
with
legal
prescriptions
need.
Federal
drug
enforcement
authorities
must
provide
sound,
reliable
and
consistent
information
to
Congress
as
we
continue
to
combat
illegal
opioid
use.
