On the recordSeptember 4, 1996
there is only one way to wage an effective campaign against drugs and that is to remain forever vigilant. With that said, it is no wonder overall drug use by 12- to 17-year- olds is up 78 percent when we have an administration asleep at the wheel. The Clinton White House dozed off early and often in their new administration when they slashed the Office of National Drug Policy by 80 percent and cut interdiction by 25 percent. They continued to snooze until they were rudely awakened by a Republican Congress which took it upon themselves to restore funding for drug interdiction. And then, the Clinton White House fell back into slumber again only to be roused by a Presidential campaign. Mr. Speaker, the Clinton White House needs to turn off their political alarm system when it comes to drugs and remain forever attentive to the ongoing war.
