WASHINGTON, March 6 -- Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-New York, issued the following op-ed:

As a whole, our nation has been debilitated by the rise of the heroin and opioid abuse epidemic, and as heroin and opioids flood the streets of our communities on Long Island and across America, the issue continues to become increasingly personal.
