ms. a january 2014 survey by the national community of pharmacists association found that 75% of respondents had experienced three or more problems with stopped shipments in the previous 18 months and that a majority had to turn patients away as a result. news reports from indiana to florida detail stories of legitimate patients who were having significant difficulty obtaining needed medication. no doubt the supply chain problems have multiple causes, but dea's activities were contributed factor. according to a 2015 gao report, the lack of clear guidance from dea to distributors on what constitutes a suspicious order and what can trigger an enforcement action was leading disturbing errors to place quotas on drug shipments to pharmacies, a practice the report found can "negatively impact patients' access." the report detailed how fear of enforcement actions coupled with lack of agency guidance was leading distributors to decline to fill orders, even in cases where distributor had no eviden

ms. it's worth noting that the house passed a bill, championing the healthy -- the championing healthy kids act, in november. it will fund the chip program for five years and the community health centers would be funded for two years. it would prevent billions of dollars of cuts to our safety net hospitals. those cuts will be triggered in january because of inaction in the senate. unfortunately, our friends on the other side of the capitol have yet to vote on our bill or find other offsets. this is disappointing because it means congress hasn't been able to provide certainty to those across the country who rely on these programs. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. frelinghuysen: i'm pleased to yield the gentleman an additional minute. mr. walden: i thank the gentleman. we are well pastime when we should have had this done. the committee has acted this eu.s. house of representatives has acted. the senate finance committee has act. the full senate is yet to do. s
