Drug addiction can be cured; but we must not only treat the immediate effects of the drugs, we must also provide adequate rehabilitation.

We must work closely with other governments to assist them in their efforts to eradicate the cultivation of drugs.

I'm ordering the Attorney General to concentrate on breaking the links between organized crime and drug traffic.

Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself.

I do not condone any drug abuse, and we'll do everything possible to reduce the serious threat to our society.

I will nominate Joseph D. Duffey, of Washington, D.C., to be Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Improved treatment and prevention programs should be accompanied by appropriate changes in Federal regulations, administrative practices, and enforcement.

I have directed my Reorganization Project staff at the Office of Management and Budget to review the organization of all Federal responsibilities for managing natural resources and protecting the environment.

To ease the burden on the United States District Courts, which must hear major drug cases, I support legislation widening the jurisdiction of U.S. Magistrates under certain circumstances to include misdemeanor offenses.

I am determined to protect the health of our people and the quality of our environment from damage done by toxic substances.

We can bring together the resources of the Federal Government intelligently to protect our society and help those who suffer.

We must also have international cooperation to control the production and transport of dangerous drugs into our country.

I will also seek the counsel and active involvement of members of the Cabinet and heads of major independent agencies on all drug abuse policy questions.

I'm sending Congress a message which expresses my strong concern about the crime and sickness and death caused by the abuse of drugs.

We are establishing a commission made up of government officials from our two countries to coordinate a stepped up effort to deal with the major international trafficking of cocaine and marijuana.

Drug abuse continues to be a serious social problem in America.

We must set realistic objectives, giving our foremost attention domestically to those drugs that pose the greatest threat to health.

My goals are to discourage all drug abuse in America.
