“last month, Newsweek magazine ran a story on the politics of the war on drugs. Here is a quote from the article: ``Although cocaine is still a major problem and heroin is getting worse, it is simply beyond argument that Bill Clinton has failed to use the powers of his office to lead the war on drugs.'' The articles goes on to report that 18 months ago, FBI Director Louis Freeh wrote a ``scathing'' memo detailing how illegal drugs were flowing into America like an all-conquering army. Freeh reportedly said there was no true leadership in the war on drugs. Madam Speaker, what else was in that memo? What could have motivated Bill Clinton's hand-picked FBI director to make these revelations? And why hasn't this memo been released? The Clinton administration should release the Freeh memo, and while they are at it, they can explain to the American people why they have done so very little to stop the flow of these drugs when they knew about it over 18 months ago.”
