Rahall to take part in national drug-abuse summit
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Rep. Nick J. Rahall, D-W.Va., plans to criticize the lack of strong federal legislation to control prescription drugs this week at a summit on the abuse of those drugs.
The Appalachian Regional Commission and Operation UNITE are co-sponsoring the National Summit on Prescription Drug Abuse in Orlando, Fla., to discuss the growing impact of prescription drug abuse throughout the nation.
Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky., founded UNITE in 2003. The group's name is an acronym for "Unlawful Narcotics Investigations, Treatment and Education."

It's disgusting that it is a Schedule I drug, the same as LSD and cocaine. Thanks Reagans.
I have to say this story just seems to read as Mr. Rahall taking a trip to Florida, and we as WVians should be happy he is doing so..
This org is founded by a Kentucky Rep, and is strongly supported by a WV Rep.. but we're gonna discuss these issues down in Florida..
Sorry, but it just seems like a fancy excuse for a beach trip.
There seems to be no care on how my dollars are speant. Less dollars from taxes would help.
