[Ed Gottlieb]

Oct. 2, 2013
Sens. Collin, Boxer, Boozman, & Blumenthal write to Attorney General
Holder: DOJ must address prescription drug abuse in military & organize
take-back program.
 
"A rule proposed by the DEA as part of the Secure and Responsible Drug
Disposal Act of 2010 does not allow the participation of the DoD or VA
in the DEA’s drug-take back efforts because the unique conditions of DoD
and VA facilities are not taken into account."  From:
