CUMMINGS: “I’m sure that you are well aware that — that I am a strong advocate of sound counter-narcotics efforts. and I will say it every single time I have an opportunity. Sometimes I really just think we don’t get it. This morning I left my community of Baltimore, a drug-infested area where a lot of the drugs that we are talking about today have already taken the lives of so many children, the same children that I watched 14 or 15 years ago as they grew up now walking around like zombies.”
