Chairwoman Carolyn B. Maloney's Opening Statement [PDF]

On Monday, June 27, 2022, at 1:30 p.m. E.T., Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, Chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, will hold a remote hearing to examine the federal government’s response to the overdose and addiction crisis, including the Biden-Harris Administration’s 2022 National Drug Control Strategy.

The 2022 National Drug Control Strategy builds on the public health and public safety actions already taken by the Biden-Harris Administration to address the overdose and addiction crisis.  The framework proposes a whole-of-government approach to reducing the supply and availability of dangerous substances and ensuring that addiction is treated as a disease.
