    Wnited States Senate WASHINGTON, DC 20510 November 16,2017 The Honorable Jeff Sessions Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW ‘Washington, DC 20530-0001 Dear Attorney General Sessions: Enclosed please find a copy of correspondence we received ftom Mrs, Deirdre Goldsmith, a Virginia constituent. We would appreciate your consideration of her correspondence. In August 2013, Mrs. Goldsmith's nineteen-year-old daughter, Shelley, passed away from heatstroke, Shelley had taken MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine), commonly known as Molly or Eestasy, before attending the dance concert where she later passed away. In the wake of her daughter’s tragic death, Mrs. Goldsmith has become an advocate for reforms intended to prevent other young people from using drugs and to lessen the risk of associated fatalities. Among these reforms is improvement to the safety conditions at concert venues. Mrs. Goldsmith has heard from venue owners that they do not implement certain safety measures because of a fear of being prosecuted under the Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act. She is requesting that the Department of Justice clarify how it interprets the law in the hopes that venue owners will then be able to implement measures to reduce the risk of harm to attendees. We appreciate your consideration of the issues raised in this correspondence. Please respond directly to Mrs. Goldsmith and copy our offices on the response. You may also contact Kristen Molloy in Senator Kaine’s office at Kristen_Molloy@kaine.senate.gov or 202-224-4024, or Nicholas Devereux in Senator Wamer's office at Nicholas Devereux(@ warner. senate.gov or 202-224-2023, if you need additional information. ‘Thank you for your assistance and attention to this matter. Sincerely, wor~7> MARKR. WARNER TIMKAINE, United States Senator United States Senator November 14, 2017 Deirdre S. Goldsmith 24555 Walden Road ‘Abingdon, VA 24210-7723
