Orrin Hatch: “I would ask to engage the Senator from New Hampshire, Mr. Gregg, and the Senator from Delaware, Mr. Biden, in a brief…”

On the recordJuly 21, 1998
I would ask to engage the Senator from New Hampshire, Mr. Gregg, and the Senator from Delaware, Mr. Biden, in a brief colloquy regarding a portion of the report which accompanies the bill, directing the Attorney General to develop a 5-year interdepartmental drug control strategy. Both Senator Biden and I believe that this provision may be misinterpreted, and I request the Senator's assistance in providing some clarification. As a general matter, I have long believed that an effective national drug strategy can best be developed and implemented if we have one responsible official charged with that duty.
