(2) Deaths from drug overdose, largely from 
prescription pain relievers, have tripled among men 
and increased fivefold among women over the past 
decade. 
(3) Nationwide, drug overdoses now claim more 
lives than car accidents. 
(4) Overdose deaths from heroin and other 
opioids can be prevented if the person who overdosed 
is timely administered an opioid overdose drug. 
(5) Medical personnel as well as non-medical 
personnel can be trained to administer opioid over-
dose drugs safely and effectively. 
(6) On April 13, 2014, the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration approved a prescription opioid overdose 
drug hand held auto-injector for use by family mem-
bers and caregivers to treat a person known or sus-
pected to have had an opioid overdose. 
(7) Several States, including Massachusetts, 
have established programs allowing for the adminis-
tration of opioid overdose drugs by non-medical per-
sonnel, and those programs have saved lives. 
(8) The willingness of medical and non-medical 
personnel to administer opioid overdose drugs may 
be deterred by potential civil liability, and the will-
ingness of physicians to prescribe opioid overdose

TITLE VI—EXPANSION OF THE
NORTH 
ATLANTIC 
TREATY
ORGANIZATION
SEC. 601. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ‘‘NATO Expansion Act
of 1995’’.
SEC. 602. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Since 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Or-
ganization (NATO) has helped to guarantee the se-
curity, freedom, and prosperity of the United States
and its partners in the alliance.
(2) NATO has expanded its membership on
three different occasions since its founding in 1949.
(3) The steadfast and sustained commitment of
the member countries of NATO to mutual defense
against the threat of communist domination played
a significant role in precipitating the collapse of the
Iron Curtain and the demise of the Soviet Union.
(4) Although new threats are more geographi-
cally and functionally diverse and less predictable,
they still imperil shared interests of the United
States and its NATO allies.
