"We must recognize the fentanyl crisis for what it is: a threat to our national security and to the future of our country. The FEND Off Fentanyl Act's inclusion in the Senate's defense bill acknowledges this reality and protects Americans from the deadly drug cartels and Chinese fentanyl suppliers who poison our communities. As the Chinese Communist Party challenges America across every domain and dangerous cartels exploit our open borders, it's time for our country to answer their aggressions with strength by targeting and seizing the money that fuels the fentanyl trade."

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"Every year, undisclosed sources within the People's Republic of China send millions of dollars…to U.S. colleges and universities. The sad fact is we know too little about that. My amendment will be the first step in understanding their impact."
