"But our work is not done. Reform of opioid quota laws is needed so DEA can take important factors like diversion & abuse into account when setting quotas, rather than chasing the downstream consequences of this crisis."

"That's why I intro'd bill w Sens. Kennedy @ChuckGrassley @SenFeinstein that enhances DEA's existing opioid quota-setting authority by improving transparency & enabling DEA to adjust quotas to prevent opioid diversion & abuse while ensuring adequate supply for legit medical needs."
