On the recordOctober 22, 1997
Yes. We have a terrible problem in Texas. Just outside of Dallas, in a neighboring community, we have had a minimum of eight heroin-related deaths by teenagers in the last year. Of course, this is causing a lot of inward thought to the community. And I want you to know that every single time those parents say, please talk about the problem, please tell the story, because many of them did not even recognize that their children were even on drugs. So this is why I think this is important. I thank you for bringing that up.
