Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
March 13, 1989
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
TO THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ATTORNEYS GENERAL
Roosevelt Room
10:02 A.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I am just delighted to see this
illustrious group here. I wanted you to meet Bill Reilly, who is our
Administrator of the EPA, and a man whose reputation many of you know
about. And I've prepared just a few remarks that I want to make on
the -- a couple of subjects where this group has been out front. And
when I finish, Bill will say a few words.
I would ask your forebearance. I just couldn't pull
myself away from watching the Discovery take off, and it's now
airborne and appears to be going well, so I think that is always a
rather tense moment. But the flight is underway.
I would say to Bob and everybody else that this
Association, as I look at your agenda, it's clear to me that this
Association and the White House are fighting the same battles and on
the same agenda. Your reports on environmental protection and also
on drug control strategies got you way out front on these two issues.
And I think it's a good thing. And we are determined to have those
as two prominent agenda items right here in the White House.
Now, the approaches that you've taken reinforce my
conviction that, together, where we have these shared concerns, we're
going to find solutions and we've got to find state and federal roles
that work. We're going to apply limited resources -- and, again, I
wish they weren't as limited, particularly in these two areas. But
we've got to apply the limited resources in a coordinated manner.
At the federal level, I'm convinced that on many issues
the time for study has passed -- on these environmental issues, and I
know that Bill agrees with me. So we are proposing legislation to
reauthorize the Clean Air Act, and I want to work with the Congress
on a comprehensive acid rain program. And, again, I think working
with you all we can do a lot of throwing the book at those who
engaged in illegal ocean dumping.
Bill is just back from a highly successful international
conference that was opened by Margaret Thatcher in the U.K., and he
can tell you perhaps a little about what went on there. But in these
broad areas of global warming we've got to do better, and we will.
Over the last decade, the states have taken on a key
role, the lead, I might add in many areas, in terms of protecting the
environment. And I view that as good news. I believe that. I still
believe strongly in federalism and I think that's very, very
important.
So I want to work with you on those environmental
questions where we share responsibility. We need to step up that
Superfund cleanup process and improve enforcement. We must assure
compliance with the hazardous waste laws. And where enforcement of
all the laws that protect our environment are concerned, I'd like you
to think about the most serious cases where we've got to move beyond
civil penalties toward criminal enforcement, both as a sanction and
as a deterrent.
MORE
- 2 -
In a few minutes, as I say, Bill will give a little more
detail on our environmental agenda, and you will see in him what I
have seen, that he is an expert here, an outstanding ally and a
fellow soldier in this struggle. He also understands the differences
between the state responsibility and the federal, but the need to
work together.
So let me just touch on the other subject that I
mentioned upfront before turning this over to him. We've got to see
that the great cities, indeed some of rural America, that they are no
longer held hostage to the crack dealers. Our schools must not be
locked in a state of seige. And, you know, drugs are like a chemical
weapons that a society turns on itself. And they breed the most
insidious forms of domestic terrorism. And they've got to be stopped
and we've got to VOW that they will be stopped.
The budget that I sent up to the Congress a few weeks ago
is a realistic, fiscally responsible plan that identifies key
priorities requiring our immediate attention. One of these
priorities is combatting the scourge of drugs. And that's why I am
asking for $1 billion in new outlays for the antidrug program.
That's a 47 percent increase over 1988, for a total of $6 billion in
budget authority for 1990. Most of that money, 70 percent of it,
will beef up federal enforcement, provide grants to state and local
law enforcement agencies, build up our prosecution, detentions, and
intelligence-gathering strength.
As chief legal officers, you know about enforcement. And
you know how vital it is. And as my budget makes clear, I wanted to
vote unprecedented resources to enforcement. But clearly, we've got
to do more. This war won't be won by police work alone. Where
there's demand, supply will always rise to meet it. And where
there's no demand, supply is useless. And that's why I was glad to
see your Blueprint for Drug Control Strategy broadens the goals of
enforcement.
You say reducing demand must be the ideological
cornerstone of any coherent drug enforcement policy. And you're
right -- enforcement strategies must look beyond effects to causes.
Drug education, treatment, prevention, provide our best hope for
long-term solution, especially with the kids -- especially with our
kids. And we need to tell them, of course, to say no, but we've also
got to give them the wisdom to know why and the skills to know how to
say no.
I want to ask you to continue looking closely at these
drug enforcement programs. How can they help reduce demand? Less
demand means more success on the war on drugs and, to the extent you
can cut demand, you can make your jobs, my job, and those of everyone
involved a whole lot more rewarding.
Our financial resources may be limited, but our resolve
is unlimited. And with that limitless resolve, I know that we can
inspire every child, teacher, and parent, every community group,
religious institution, and tenant association, and every business and
professional organization in this country, and then, united in common
resolve, we will be. truly invincible.
I've said before that we have more will than wallet, but
the only limits on our will are the limits we place on ourselves. We
can, we must build a culture of zero tolerance and then we'll send a
message loud and clear to those who take drugs, and take our leniency
for granted the party is over.
And so I will simply end by telling you about a visit I
had to the DEA up in New York. It was most interesting, and it was
addressing all our agents. And I know many of you have worked with
them and, like you, I was very much impressed by the caliber of the
young men and women. You wonder what does it take to be a person
that knows now that the culture has changed, that their lives are
literally on the line?
MORE
- 3 -
After meeting with the big group we went into a small
meeting room and talked to the agents themselves, those that were
undercover. And one of them explained it to me this way. It used to
be if there was a drug bust people would say "police", or "DEA" or
"FBI", or whatever it is, and the bad guys would stop what they were
doing and, you know, submit to arrest. Now the culture has changed
-- the bad guys turn around and start shooting. And so it really
drove home to me the need to support these enforcement officers with
changes in the law and whatever else it's going to take. The penalty
in some areas for killing a policeman is the same as being caught
with "x" ounces of drugs on you. And so how can there be any
incentive if we don't have some differentiation.
This is your business; you know this. But we would
welcome recommendations to our Attorney General and to the White
House on how best to effect the kind of changes that are going to be
necessary in that aspect of the problem.
Now back to the first agenda item -- the environment.
Bill has got a good way of building bridges between people. He's the
first kind of certified environmentalist to be in this important post
and he's been called the "Great Includer." You can figure that our
when you listen to him, but he's devoted his career really to
protecting our land, air and water. He has my complete confidence.
I expect when you've dealt with him for a while he'll have yours. I
ask that you give him your full cooperation because, again, like the
whole question of the second agenda item, this first one, the
environment and the need to preserve it and to hand our kids
something a little better than we found, is absolute priority.
So with no further ado and the only regret that I won't
have a chance to visit more informally with each and every one of
you, thanks for coming. And let me introduce you to Bill Reilly, who
I know will have your full support.
Bill, all yours. (Applause.)

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
March 13, 1989
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AND DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF
NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY WILLIAM BENNETT
Room 450
Old Executive Office Building
11:16 A.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much. Please be
seated. Mr. Vice President and members of the Cabinet -- Justice
Scalia, I believe, was here somewhere --
JUSTICE SCALIA: I'm here.
THE PRESIDENT: There he is. Present. But I cite that
because he just did the honors over in the Oval Office for the
swearing-in of Bill Bennett.
Honored guests and ladies and gentlemen, I'm delighted to
be here. It's an honor for me to be here, with the Cabinet behind
me, for this important occasion. There really is no greater test of
America's greatness than its challenge on meeting this challenge --
this great challenge of drugs. And today I've come from the
swearing-in, from Bill Bennett, the man who is going to lead this
mission. We're going to need your help and the will and spirit of
the American people to succeed.
Last month, before a joint session of Congress, I said
Bill Bennett and I will be shoulder-to-shoulder leading this charge.
And here we are, and he has just been sworn in, and we are
shoulder-to-shoulder, and the Cabinet will be shoulder-to-shoulder
with him in this important effort. To free our nation from drugs is
going to require teamwork and coordination between all levels of
government, private enterprise, and then the voluntary organizations,
as well. It will mean building on your labors as activists,
officials, public servants. For while you've done much, there
remains so much more to be done. Most of all, it's going to require
a sense of urgency to act now.
Drugs threaten what we are as a nation and as a family,
and they chain the human soul and they destroy the lives of our
children. And so, Bill, I know that you share these beliefs. As
Secretary of Education, Bill showed what worked -- told us what
didn't. Broke a little china in the process -- (laughter) -- but
challenged the establishment in a lot of ways, and that was a
tremendous plus. And in the process he created a record of stunning
achievement and, like you all, he's been a strong voice for
excellence. And now you must work together.
Bill is the first Director of the National Drug Council
Policy. You, soldiers of this crusade. And drug abuse assaults the
mind and the spirit of America, leaving damaged lives and destroyed
careers. So we've got to mobilize our moral, spiritual, and economic
resources to force a decline in drug trafficking and in drug abuse.
We're going to seek to encourage the over 23 million Americans who
last year used illegal drugs to get clean and stay clean.
And in that budget speech I spoke about four critical
areas -- education, testing, interdiction and enforcement. And I
asked for an increase of $1 billion in budget outlays. In 1990 we're
MORE
- 2 -
requesting $6 billion in new funding to fight this war. And some
money will be used to expand treatment for the poor and to young
mothers, and this will help many of the innocent victims of drugs,
like the thousands of babies that are born addicted or with AIDS
because of the mother's addiction. Some money will be used to cut
the waiting time for treatment and to help prevention efforts in
urban schools where the emergency seems to be the greatest. And much
of it will be used to protect our borders, helped by the Coast Guard
and Custom Service and Departments of State and Justice and the U.S.
military.
To spread the word and thus stem demand, we're going to
need more money for education and prevention. Our request totals
$1.1 billion. And we need to educate, involve parents, teachers and
communities. And finally, to stop drug criminals we will support
unequivocally our drug enforcement officials -- local, state and
federal.
You know, we've talked a lot about zero tolerance. Well,
it's not a catch word. It means quite simply if you do crime, you've
got to do time. And our budget proposes $4.1 billion, the drug
budget, fully 70 percent of the entire drug budget for law
enforcement purposes. I want judges who strictly apply the law to
convicted drug offenders and then severe sentences for the dealers
who hire kids to sell and carry these drugs. I want a new offensive
against organized crime and enhanced drug prosecution, detection,
enhanced intelligence capabilities. We need increased present
sentences for drug related crimes. And the death penalty -- I
believe in it firmly -- for drug kingpins who order and those who
commit these drug-related murders.
Now, let me speak very frankly about one other aspect of
the fight on drug abuse. The effectiveness of the federal
government's efforts to combat drugs has been hampered -- sometimes
severely -- by inadequate cooperation and coordination among the many
departments and agencies involved in this antidrug effort. There
have been struggles over turf and budgets and too often preoccupation
with parochial interests.
Well, the soldiers in the drug battle have been risking
their lives. Too often, conflict -- bureaucratic conflict here in
Washington has hobbled our national effort. So this has got to end.
No war was ever won with two dozen generals acting independently.
And I have chosen Bill, Bill Bennett, to be the commanding general in
the drug war. It is his responsibility, working with the departments
and agencies headed by those you see here with me and others, to
develop a strategy for this war. So I charge him with putting all
the parts of the federal government in harness, pulling together in a
life-and-death struggle against a deadly enemy. I will not tolerate,
and the country cannot afford, bureaucratic infighting that forces us
to fight this battle with one arm tied behind our back.
And so Bill has my total support. I call upon all of the
parts of the government to get behind him in charting our course
toward victory. We must not waver in our resolve to overcome drug
abuse. And we're going to need fortitude, patience, compassion, and
certainly the support of all America. Without the people, we can't
do anything. And with the people, we can do great things.
This morning, then, I ask all of you to work with Bill
and with businesses, churches, families and schools. Thank you very
much for being here. And now, the man of the moment, the man in whom
I've placed great confidence and who I know will be a superb job,
Bill Bennett. (Applause.)
SECRETARY BENNETT: Ladies and gentlemen, members of the
Cabinet who are so kind to be here this morning, thank you. And Mr.
President, thanks especially to you for your kind words, for the
trust you've placed in me, and for the firm commitment you've made to
the work that I now begin.
No one who has fought this fight until now, no brave law
MORE
- 3 -
enforcement officer, no teacher, no doctor need be told how hard and
cruel America's drug problem has become. They know. We know. But
those here and across the country who join me today in our just war
against drugs may take some renewed confidence in our prospects for
success because the President of the United States has placed this
struggle at the top of his administration's agenda, at the top of our
common national agenda where it needs to be.
The President has asked for total effort. He has asked
for action on each and every front. He has asked for a sharp
increase in funding to make that action possible. He has asked for
an end to the petty bureaucratic bickering that has too often
hampered federal initiatives here in Washington. He has asked me to
lead and to honor his mandate. Well, with your support, Mr.
President, with your backing, much, indeed, can be done. I promise
to give my all.
My office is already conducting an exhaustive review of
our national fight against drugs on both supply and demand sides.
Where past strategy has succeeded, we will see to it that it's
continued. Where past strategy has failed, we will see that it's
replaced or modified.
And my office will review the federal drug budget. I
plan no cut-rate, bargain basement initiative, but I also plan no
bloated pork barrel project, either. We will ask for what makes
sense -- no more, no less.
And, as you've instructed me, we will not play politics
with drugs. That's one game the American people simply will not
afford.
All this will mean change, substantial change in some
cases, and change takes time and long, hard work, especially in
Washington. We'll do it where necessary. We want to see waiting
lines for drug treatment reduced and prison cells for drug pushers
increased. We want to see the drug violence on the streets of our
cities and the streets of our Nation's Capital stopped. And we want
those overseas, too, to know that we mean business.
As the President has made abundantly clear, this
administration wants to work with all the good citizens of America to
win the war. There is good news and we shouldn't ignore it. Drugs
are no longer a thing of glamour. Our media and our culture now
portray drugs accurately. They portray them for the death and ruin
and despair that they are and that they bring. As the President
sadly reminds us, 23 million Americans still use drugs regularly.
But another 220 million Americans do not use drugs and never have.
We see the violence that drugs create. We see the damage
drugs do to our economy, to our communities and to our children. And
the American people are made angry and determined, and that is a good
thing.
In neighborhood schools and churches across America there
is a movement against drugs, and it's making a difference. Drug use
is down among high school seniors. It is still too high, but it is
going down. I believe that a persistent national commitment to this
fight can and will bring it down further.
Many people have told me in recent weeks and months that
my job will prove to be an impossible job. I think that's wrong.
Today I act on the assumption that that is wrong. I did not take
this job to sit at stalemate. The people I'll be working with,
including and especially the people seated behind me, and the people
who lead our antidrug efforts here in Washington and across the
country are men and women of great ability, dedication and purpose.
And best of all, the American people are with us. So, Mr. President,
I have the best allies a man can have.
Mr. President, again I want to thank you for giving me
the opportunity to make a difference on one of the critical issues of
MORE
- 4 -
our time. And, ladies and gentlemen, members of the Cabinet, I thank
you for your good wishes and for the help I know you'll give, because
I'm going to ask you for it.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I've been asked to invite you
all to follow us to the Indian Treaty Room for a brief reception.
Thank you all for coming. Thank you, Mr. President. (Applause.)
