Senate Anti-Meth Caucus
This article was originally published in The Tan Sheet
Executive Summary
Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Jim Talent (R-Mo.) are co-chairs of the Senate's new Anti-Meth Caucus, according to an Oct. 7 announcement. The caucus will work with local law enforcement "to push legislation that helps them stay ahead of the meth cooks," Talent says, noting that treatment and prevention will also be targets. Fellow caucus co-chairs are Sens. Joe Biden (D-Del.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa.), Kent Conrad (D- N.D.) and Conrad Burns (R-Mont.). Sens. Talent and Feinstein co-sponsored a federal bill that would place pseudoephedrine, a meth precursor, behind pharmacy counters. The Combat Meth Act awaits the approval of a House and Senate Conference Committee, the last step before being signed into law (1"The Tan Sheet" Sept. 12, 2005, p. 5 and 2"The Tan Sheet" Sept. 19, 2005, In Brief)...
