Chairman Souder, Ranking Member Cummings, and Distinguished Members of the Subcommittee:
Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the Administration’s Synthetic Drug Control Strategy. I thank the Subcommittee for its strong bipartisan commitment to our shared national goals of reducing the illicit use of methamphetamine and prescription drugs, and reducing the number of domestic methamphetamine laboratories. The Administration welcomes the opportunity to introduce the first-ever Synthetic Drug Control Strategy, a national effort to reduce the illicit demand for, and supply of, synthetic drugs like methamphetamine and prescription drugs.
