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.
