last month i was in portsmouth, at the second-chance counseling center.it received critical federal resources. not a lot of dollars but critical dollars for a job retraining program for those recovering from abuse. the center is about second chances, combatting the epidemic with a focus on recovery and rehabilitation helping ohioans with the resources they need to be the productive statistics they want to be. this past july i was at the amthyst family treatment center in columbus. we talked about the administration's comprehensive prescription drug strategy in ways that f.d.a. can crack down on abuse. the staff at the residents like health protpelgss and community activists described the stories of victims and families they represent. i met with many of those people who are going through these programs and are getting their lives back in order. prescription drug abuse and crime is nonpartisan. it's clear it's an issue of life and death in too many parts of our nation and especially in my state. mr. president, i'd like to share three brief letters describi

we pass these trade agreements in ohio communities from springfield to chilicothe to portsmouth to ashtabula to toledo. these ohio communities can't understand why they are so buffetted by these trade winds that so often undermine their ability to make a living. these trade agreements were originally negotiated by the bush administration. i don't blame president obama for that. but to the rest of the country, hearing the obama administration talk about these trade agreements sounds like a continuation of the incoherent approach to america's engagement in the global economy that we saw with the bush trade agenda. many of us on this floor have criticized the bush trade policy. the obama trade policy, okay, i'm a democrat, he's a democrat. the obama trade policy is better than what it was under the bush trade agreement. the obama administration has made these three trade bills a little better -- at least korea little better than it was, a little better. the obama administration has actually enforced trade laws when the chinese cheat on tires, when they cheat on oil country tubular steel, when t
