Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Teenage Drug Abuse: The Recent Upsurge: Hearing Before the Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate One Hundred Fourth Congress Second Session on the Effects of the Drug Competition and Patient Term Restoration Act of 1984 on Generic Competition and Drug Innovation U.S. Senate, Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, DC. The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 2:27 p.m., in room SH-216, Hart Senate Office Building, Hon. Orrin G. Hatch (chairman of the committee) presiding. Also present: Senators Grassley, Thompson, DeWine, Biden, Kennedy, and Shelby [ex officio]. The Chairman. We are going to begin this hearing on teenage drug use and the recent upward trends, but I think because Senator Thompson has to go to the floor to preside, I am going to give him this opportunity to say a few words and then the ranking minority member and myself will have statements. So we will turn to you, Senator Thompson, at this time. Statement Of Hon. Fred Thompson, A U.S. Senator From The State Of Tennessee Senator Thompson. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate that. Mr. Chairman, this Government must resume the largely abandoned war against teen drug abuse. In the last 4 years, the use of marijuana, cocaine, and LSD has more than doubled among young people. Yet, in the same time period, funding for the Office of Drug Czar has been cut by 80 percent and the Administration has proposed similar deep cuts in the funding of DEA. We have got to do better. We should be increasing interdiction, not cutting it back. We should be prosecuting more drug dealers, not stepping away from the attack. We have got to find out what kinds of programs make a difference. Right now, effective prevention is a matter of guesses and good intentions. The Federal Government throws millions of tax dollars at programs, but we don´t know which programs work. Part of the problem is our failure to fund research, an appropriate Federal responsibility. The Federal Government is in a unique position to undertake long-term research on prevention and interdiction. All Americans, from private citizens to Members of Congress to the President and his staff, have a moral obligation to set a personal example above reproach. Early and often, young people need to hear about the dangers of illegal drugs. Right now in America, there are 39 million children under the age of 10. These kids are either going to listen to the dope dealers or they are going to listen to us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
