On the recordMarch 5, 1997
Last week, President Clinton announced a new addition to our strategy in the fight against drug abuse by young people in America. I applaud the President's effort to focus on teen drug abuse, and believe that it is a good response to a disturbing trend that we cannot ignore. We must harness a moral condemnation of drug use by all segments of our population. I commend Mr. Coker for making a difference, and am grateful for his contribution in the fight against drug abuse.
