over the same period, the dea has lowered the legal limits on production of the active ingredients in these opioids by 47%. more importantly, drug overdose deaths may have finally stopped rising. according to preliminary data from the cdc, overdose deaths decreased slightly from september 2017 to august 2018. but there's a lot more work to be done. that is why the president's budget provides for 295 million to combat the opioid epidemic, including 18.2 million for the fbi's joint criminal opioid dark net enforcement initiative or j code, which is a team of agents that work to disrupt rupt and dismantle the sale of opioids on the dark net. the president requests 11.1 million for five new heroin enforcement groups deployed to field divisions identified heroin as the first or second greatest threat in their area. the president also includes 2 million in operational funds for the national opioid initiative of our program. the president's budget also proposes to permanently transfer 254 million from the white house office of national drug control policy to the dea for the high ins e. inten

now what is dea doing to counter this threat? >> we recognize this will take persistent efforts to include inner agency and global partnerships. for decades we've maintained a world wide presence to address the source of drugs. in mexico, dea continues to synchronize and expand capabilities. we have developed a bilateral heroin strategy for intelligence sharing, coordination of investigations, training, increased sharing of forensic information and the control of precursor chemicals. we participate in the north american drug dialogue which focuses on building the strategy. dea will continue to aggressively pursue criminal trafficking -- criminals trafficking in illicit drugs targeting the most dangerous drug traffickers is an evolving mission and it comes with challenges. throughout our history, dea has aggressively met those challenges and produced impressive results. we look forward to continuing our work with you and your senate colleagues to identify resources and authorities necessary to complete our mission and i thank you

and another 1.7 million for dea's sensitive intelligence unit, which is targeting these groups and their elicit trafficking in narcotics. i personally believe that an important part of securing the southern border is to have a barrier system on the border. i think that will help not only in narcotics interdiction but also in suppressing human trafficking and it's an important part of our enforcement. >> let me switch gears just a minute. one of the most sacred rights, as you know, as americans is the right not to be spied on by the government. a fisa order may only be issued based on a finding by the foreign surveillance court that probable cause exists to believe that the target of surveillance is an agent of a foreign power. one of our colleagues representative nunes has referred eight persons to the fbi for investigation concerning alleged misconduct during the russia investigation including the leak of highly classified material and alleged conspiracies to lie to congress and the fisa court in order to spy on then candidate trump and other persons. i would hope the department of just

but those wouldn't specifically apply to dea. >> thank you. i am stillll concerned that we don't have as much equipment ase we need and i'm concerned about the safety of the people on the front lines. fentanyl is so dangerous even to the touch. so i will look forward to following up with the agency about how we can acceleratelo this. commander, i want to follow up a little bit on the discussion that you've been having about the family separation policy and the efforts that your agency has made to reunite families and children. you talked about the numbers in the case in the class of individuals represented by the aclu. but we also know that there aret other children and you just mentioned that in your testimony who before the policy was announced were apparently separated from theirir families. when you appear before this committee last year end just now, you are very clear about the impact of family separation on children that children are traumatized and it could suffer long-term psychological damage from this separation. and i thank you for

elites dea's 222 domestic offices and 94 and offices. mr. cherundolo. >> good morning chairman johnson, ranking member peters, and distinguished members of tht committee. it's an honor to appear before you today to discuss mexican cartels, the extent of the influence to manufacture, transport and distribute illicit narcotics and her efforts to combat this threat. i have had the honor and privilege of serving as a law enforcement official for 27 years with the last 22 being as a dea special agent. when i reflect on the 27 years of experience, , the sophistication and capacity of mexican cartels is what worries me most. dangerous and highly sophisticated transnational criminal organizations or cartels operating in both mexico and the united states have been and will continue to be the most significant source of illicit narcotics traffic inside the united states. whether it's heroin or synthetic opioids, methamphetamine or marijuana, mexican cartels are the primary source of illicit drugs on our streets. perhaps the most disturbing aspect ofof

you are saying the law needs to to be changed to get dea more authority. sen. manchin: there was a big article about that. it narrowed it down to where they could go after them, dea could go after them. the language has changed. one word brought it down to here. you have to fit in a real pigeonhole. we have 9 million pills coming through. i have asked him. they can reverse this. we are trying to reverse the spirit the dea has got to do its job. fda has to do its job. doctors have to do their job. we should be putting labels on this. this stuff will kill you. you should not have more than three days of it. they are putting out stuff that was basically never administered outside of the hospital and now is on the street. it is awful if you see what it is doing. we haven't seen how this is going to escalate. wait for the next 10 years, the children have been living in and around opioid addiction. what we are getting from that. that is the fallout. you are seeing the front end of it now. you have not seen the residual of what is going to happen. it is going to be de

acutely we're not worried about the side effects but what is distressing is the fact that fda and dea are still unclear about is it a supplement, a medication, and the rulingings have not come down from the higher level of government about what it is. >> why isn't there more research this plant has been around since -- >> exactly. >> european settlers got here. why don't we know more. >> for 25 years i've had all the regulatory pieces in place to study cannabis and its component. but because it's schedule 1 by the dea i have to study it in controlled ways in the laboratory, i collect the butts that people smoke from the cigarettes and store them in a safe permanently because they're considered schedule 1. >> like heroin. >> exactly. >> in case people are still interested in cbd is it more effective to swallow it or rub it on your hand? >> that's an excellent question. that's the other thing that i think the public isn't informed about. smoking, vaping, rubbing it on your body, taking a pill all give different pharmacological effects. you buy something that just says cbd, if you rub it

according to court documents today, what happened was they only told the dea about four red flags. you have over 8,000 versus 4. >> unbelievable. tom, amazed that you can get smart on anything no matter what it is. tom winter is a guy we rely on. >>> from the distributor to the manufacturer in connecticut, the state government expanded an existing lawsuit alleging the maker of oxycontin, purdue pharma, fraudulently moved $00s of millions of profits to its owners, the sackler family. why? according to the attorney general, purdue is trying to cry poverty in effort to avoid accountability for its role in the opioid crisis, but business has been kind to the family, a massachusetts court filing revealed earlier this year they made at least $4 billion between 2007 and 2018. on top of the original lawsuit by the way that alleges that leadership at purdue pharma knew their drug, oxycontin and misleading marketing practices were causing harm. the company responded to new allegations in a statement to green witch time. they deny the allegations and will continue to defend against misleading

the dea drug enforcement agency is restoring their authority. so do you still support amending the substantial likelihood of probable cause? that gives the dea the clout to start these horrific shipments into this -- have you looked into that? >> i haven't looked at it, i would support it, i don't know if the department has taken a toll welcome it is a substantial change, and it stopped the dea cold in their tracks, in stopping the shipments before hitting the streets. >> it is very, very important. it is tremendously harmful to our states. my final one is on foreign investments. i'm concerned about what is going on, and i'm concerned about the attempts of foreign countries to make investments and get control over certain criticaltologies and industries. we're seeing the investments we are making, and sometimes there is a front for this, and we have not engaged. is there any law enforcement agency or anyone in your department keeping track of the actions that are -- on and on and on that we know what they have been going through. >> yes, the fbi
