The White House’s top drug policy official called for Congress to reauthorize the Office of National Drug Control Policy before the end of the year — his top legislative priority for 2024.
“Our reauthorization is really critically important to continue to send a message to communities all across the country that they will continue to get the support of funding from members of Congress for their communities,” ONDCP Director Rahul Gupta said in an interview with CQ Roll Call Tuesday.
Gupta said that while reauthorization would be his top priority for Congress, it’s part of a longer list of actions the administration wants to take as it works to reduce the number of drug overdose deaths.
