I am honored to be here today. After almost three decades at the Department of Justice, I’ve seen firsthand just how important the DEA is to combatting the manufacture, traffic and use of illegal drugs in our country. Throughout the years, I’ve worked closely with the DEA, as well as the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, and can attest that these organizations are vital to our shared mission of protecting Americans and their families from violent crime and the devastating effects of illegal drugs.
