On This Important Anniversary, We Must Remember

It Is Time To End The Discrimination Against People Who Need Treatment For Chemical Addiction. It Is Time For Congress To Deal With Our Nation's Number One Public Health Problem.

Unless We Repeal The Illegal Byrd Amendment, American Exports Will Be Vulnerable To Retaliation, And The U.s. Will Continue To Face A Difficult Task Convincing Other Countries To Make Their Laws Comply With International Rules.

We Also Need To Strengthen The Security Of Our Borders And Ports And Strictly Control Immigration.

Our Intelligence Community Needs Better Coordination Of Operations And Exchange Of Information, And That's Why We Need An Overall Director Of National Intelligence And A National Counterterrorism Center.

Will Stifle Economic Growth, Destroy Jobs, Reduce Revenues, And Increase The Deficit.
