has not adequately responded to Congress regarding 
the miscalculation and ambiguity risks posed by 
hypersonic weapons, specifically from submarine-

SYN-
THETIC OPIOIDS 
SEC. 1701. SHORT TITLE. 
This title may be cited as the ‘‘Fentanyl Sanctions 
Act’’. 
SEC. 1702. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The Centers for Disease Control and Pre-
vention estimate that from September 2017 through 
September 2018 more than 48,200 people in the 
United States died from an opioid overdose, with 
synthetic opioids (excluding methadone), contrib-
uting to a record 31,900 overdose deaths. While 
drug overdose death estimates from methadone,

semi-synthetic opioids, and heroin have decreased in 
recent months, overdose deaths from synthetic 
opioids have continued to increase. 
(2) Congress and the President have taken a 
number of actions to combat the demand for illicit 
opioids in the United States, including enacting into 
law the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities 
Act (Public Law 115–271; 132 Stat. 3894). While 
new statutes and regulations have reduced the rate 
of opioid prescriptions in recent years, fully address-
ing the United States opioid crisis will involve dra-
matically restricting the foreign supply of illicit 
opioids. 
(3) The People’s Republic of China is the 
world’s largest producer of illicit fentanyl, fentanyl 
analogues, and their immediate precursors. From 
the People’s Republic of China, those substances are 
shipped primarily through express consignment car-
riers or international mail directly to the United 
States, 
or, 
alternatively, 
shipped 
directly 
to 
transnational criminal organizations in Mexico, Can-
ada, and the Caribbean. 
(4) The United States and the People’s Repub-
lic of China, Mexico, and Canada have made impor-
tant strides in combating the illicit flow of opioids

through bilateral efforts of their respective law en-
forcement agencies. 
(5) The objective of preventing the proliferation 
of illicit opioids though existing multilateral and bi-
lateral initiatives requires additional efforts to deny 
illicit actors the financial means to sustain their 
markets and distribution networks. 
(6) The implementation on May 1, 2019, of the 
regulations of the People’s Republic of China to 
schedule all fentanyl analogues as controlled sub-
stances is a major step in combating global opioid 
trafficking and represents a major achievement in 
United States-China law enforcement dialogues. 
However, that step will effectively fulfill the commit-
ment that President Xi Jinping of the People’s Re-
public of China made to President Donald Trump at 
the Group of Twenty meeting in December 2018 
only if the Government of the People’s Republic of 
China devotes sufficient resources to full implemen-
tation and strict enforcement of the new regulations. 
The effective enforcement of the new regulations 
should result in diminished trafficking of illicit 
fentanyl originating from the People’s Republic of 
China into the United States.

(7) While the Department of the Treasury used 
the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (21 
U.S.C. 1901 et seq.) to sanction the first synthetic 
opioid trafficking entity in April 2018, additional 
economic and financial sanctions policy tools are 
needed to help combat the flow of synthetic opioids 
into the United States. 
SEC. 1703. SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) the United States should apply economic 
and other financial sanctions to foreign traffickers of 
illicit opioids to protect the national security, foreign 
policy, and economy of the United States and the 
health of the people of the United States; 
(2) it is imperative that the People’s Republic 
of China follow through on full implementation of 
the new regulations, adopted May 1, 2019, to treat 
all fentanyl analogues as controlled substances under 
the laws of the People’s Republic of China, including 
by devoting sufficient resources for implementation 
and strict enforcement of the new regulations; and 
(3) the effective enforcement of the new regula-
tions should result in diminished trafficking of illicit 
fentanyl originating from the People’s Republic of 
China into the United States.

to improve the readiness of affected units and help

(3) A list of Air National Guard and Air Force 
Reserve installations that currently do not have a di-
rect connection pipeline but have access to such a 
pipeline within reasonable proximity (less than five 
miles) to the facility. 
(4) An overview and summary of the current

factors used to consider requests, including the 
weight provided to each factor
and including a list

each such determination, such as decisions to 
switch from pipelines to using trucks as the pri-
mary fuel delivery method;

building or maintaining a pipeline tap as a 
practical primary or secondary fuel delivery 
method for the installation compared to rail-
road, barge terminal, or truck delivery; and 
(C) an assessment of whether these deter-
minations fairly consider or weigh how direct 
fuel pipeline connections increase security for 
the fuel supply by reducing the threat of inter-
ruption, enhance mission reliability by providing 
access to greater fuel storage capability, and 
the ability of such projects once completed to 
better support the domestic and global oper-
ations of the Air National Guard or Air Force 
Reserve installation.

fulness of guidance or technical assistance provided 
to installations requesting or proposing direct fuel 
pipeline connection projects and recommend ways to 
provide additional assistance to ensure the Air Force 
and Defense Logistics Agency receive the most up to 
date information about the costs and benefits of pro-
posed projects from installations.

sources though the Air Force, Defense Logistics 
Agency, other Department of Defense entities, or 
other mechanisms, such as a public-private partner-
ship or enhanced use lease, that can support direct 
fuel pipeline connection projects either in whole or in 
part.

rect fuel pipeline connection projects have been in-
corporated in any comprehensive plan the Air Force 
has developed or will develop regarding investments 
needed to improve Air National Guard, Air Force 
Reserve, and regular component installations to 
meet the Department’s needs.
