Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : "This is one of our most pressing national security, law enforcement and public health challenges, and we must do more as a nation and a government to protect our most precious resource -- American lives," the Commission on Combating Synthetic Opioid Trafficking said in a 70-page report released Tuesday to Congress, President Joe Biden and the American people.
57% : The report recommends what it calls five "pillars" for government action:-- Elevating the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy to act as the nerve center for far-flung federal efforts, and restoring Cabinet rank to its director.
56% : Also participating in the commission's work were high-level executive branch officials, including representatives from law enforcement, the departments of State, Treasury and Homeland Security, the intelligence community, and the White House.
53% : The report endorsed both law enforcement and treatment, working in sync with one another.
48% : It would rely on law enforcement and diplomacy to shut down sources of chemicals used to make synthetic opioids.
44% : Federal anti-drug strategy traditionally emphasized law enforcement and long prison sentences.
