“Any Member who is serious about getting tough in the war against drugs should vote for it. Anybody satisfied with the status quo or desiring to move backwards should vote against it. The GAO, which is a nonpartisan watchdog agency of our Government, has told us that long study has indicated to it that the current drug policy under the leadership of the ONDCP is not clear, it is not coordinated, it is not comprehensive, and it is not consistent. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that it has been largely ineffective. This legislation, on the other hand, is clear, it is coordinated, it is comprehensive, and it is consistent; in short, a recipe for success where we have had failure in the past.”
