Statement of Patrick J. Kennedy on the Confirmation of Michael Botticelli as Director of National Drug Control Policy

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- "I would like to extend my sincere congratulations and best wishes to Michael Botticelli, and commend the U.S. Senate on their unanimous vote to confirm him as our nation's drug czar today. Nobody is better suited -- personally and professionally -- to take the helm of ONDCP, especially at a time of such promise and opportunity in the field of addiction research, treatment, and recovery. As someone in long term recovery, he stands as an inspiring example to the millions of Americans who are affected by a substance use disorder, including me. I look forward to working with him as he leads this important organization."

Former U.S. Representative Patrick J. Kennedy (D) represented Rhode Island's first Congressional District for 16 years, and is the founder of The Kennedy Forum and One Mind for Research. www.TheKennedyForum.org and www.onemind.org
