REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS
RECOGNITION CEREMONY
The Rose Garden
10:04 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Secretary Cavazos. Mr. Vice
President, students, parents, teachers and friends, welcome to the
White House -- the steamy Rose Garden. We're delighted you're here.
I thought long and hard about what to say today -- how to
talk about the importance of drug education and prevention, and of
how we can save our schools and our children from drugs. And then I
read the judges reports about this year's Drug-Free Schools Award
winners, and these reports were simply incredible. So today, I'd
like to just tell some American stories -- stories about drug-free
schools and really some American heroes.
Let's start with Spingarn High School, right here in
Washington, D.C. (Applause.) Spingarn is in one of Washington's
worst drug areas -- a tough area -- and one teacher said, "Five years
ago, teachers. were afraid to go out in the hall between classes.
There's no fear here now." One man, a teacher named Frank Parks, saw
the drug dealers in the hallways, the expensive clothes -- he smelled
the marijuana in the bathrooms and the locker rooms. So he started
Operation SAND -- Student Activities, Not Drugs -- and recruited
popular athletes as peer counselors. And he set up these "Rap Rooms"
for kids to confidentially talk about the drug problems. And he
founded a program that worked. He found answers.
And he's here today, and despite the fact that his office
was bombed a year ago. And I'm told he and his wife are available 24
hours-a-day for the kids, as they have been for years. And I hope
that the students will be lucky enough to have him for years to come.
Mr. Parks, thank you, and congratulations. (Applause.)
And next, let me tell you about St. John the Baptist
School in Brooklyn, New York. (Applause.) Here's what one of the
judges who visited the school wrote: "This school is a total
drug-free oasis in a sea of crack dealers. This crusade to be a
beacon of hope in a neighborhood of burned out buildings and frequent
killings is taken with serious risk. The school is almost the last
life raft available to families whose neighborhood peace and quiet
has been overturned by the violence of alcohol and drugs. And if
this school is not a model of a drug-free school, then no such model
exists."
But keeping their school drug free was not enough for the
St. John's students. They've asked Mayor Koch to deliver the
neighborhood a drug-free community -- to declare it a drug-free
community, telling him about the crack houses and of the horror and
despair they see during breaks. Drug dealers recently broke into the
office of Sister Mary Jane Raeihle, the principal, ransacking it,
breaking into the safe where the school's money is kept. But they
left the money on her desk like a warning -- as a warning -- as a
message to the school to stop its activities. But St. John's has not
stopped.
And just last week, during graduation practice, the brave
MORE
- 2 -
nuns stood between the drug dealers and the children to protect them
as they marched to the church. Sister Raeihle says, "We're very
proud of the children. Even the little ones know what it's all
about, which is a shame. We have goodwill and kids with a lot of
hope. It's so hard for them and they have so much hope." God bless
you, Sister, and God bless the children. (Applause.)
Roosevelt Vocational School, from Lake Wales, Florida --
local police -- (applause) -- say this school is "sitting in the
middle of a drug supermarket." The students there are "high risk"
for drug use, many with difficult disabilities. And yet some ride
two and three hours to get to Roosevelt. Let me tell you why.
Less than 10 years ago, only 10 percent of Roosevelt's
graduates got and held jobs. But students soon realized that in
order to get the jobs they'd been trained for, they had to be drug
free. So they looked to the Kennedy Space Center -- which you can
see from the school windows -- and adopted the motto, "Aiming for the
highest."
And they kicked drugs out of the school, stopped feeling
sorry for themselves, turned their attention to others who needed
help -- adopting a local family whose father has Lou Gehrig's disease
and raising thousands of dollars to help them make ends meet. And
now, 75 percent of the students are employed after graduation, and
they aimed for the highest -- and made it. And they're here today,
too. (Applause.)
In fact, I heard a story about the principal, Harold
Maready, who made a bet with the students during Red Ribbon Week,
when students who are drug free wear red ribbons and clothes. He bet
them that if at least half the school wore red -- that is, were drug
free -- he'd paint his bald head with the words, "Just Say No.'
Well, 225 out of 295 showed up in red -- (laughter) -- and guess what
happened? I wore this red ribbon today and this red tie because I
think Mr. Maready had a great idea, and I'm looking for for Marlin
Fitzwater here somewhere. (Laughter.)
Finally, a story from out West. Live Oak, California --
(applause) -- is a small town that started as a railroad stop
serving ranchers. The residents fill only five pages of the phone
book. One traffic light. No hospital, no jail. Just a drugstore, a
few restaurants, a post office. A quiet, small town? No. Not at
all. Drugs arrived over the border, brought by transient workers.
This county is now one of California'a major producers of
methamphetamines and a major contact area for drugs arriving from
Mexico. The drugs got into the school and things went downhill fast.
And during the last four years, however, this school developed a
drug-free education program that is gradually influencing the face of
the entire community. Students, parents, business leaders and
teachers came together -- and changed it from what we used to call
"the three R's" -- to "the four R's" -- respect, responsibility,
recognition and recreation.
And what made the difference was a temporary principal,
Mrs. Paula McIntire, assigned to the school for four months in 1985
-- temporary -- she's still there. (Laughter.) And one judge called
her "the visionary dynamo behind the progress" at one of the most
overwhelmed and understaffed schools around. She and a teacher,
Michael Dahl, beat the odds by "vision, no-nonsense leadership,
compassion and professional expertise." Mrs. McIntire and Mr. Dahl,
thank you for making the trip today, all this way, and thank you for
a job so well done. (Applause.)
As I look around here today, I see some of the top
commandos in the war on drugs -- our teachers, principals, community
leaders, parents and students. You're the ones winning this war
because you are the ones looking to tomorrow. You'r the ones who
know that it takes a clear mind to get a good education and lead a
productive life. You understand that students have a right to learn
MORE

in drug-free schools.
And I know that school's out for the summer, but there's
one last lesson all America can learn from the courage and commitment
and, yes, the downright stubbornness of each of these heroes here
today who never gave up. Every school in this country can win.
Every school in this country can be safe and drug free.
Thank you and God bless you all, and congratulations.
And now I'd like to welcome the students that are here
from each school and join the Vice President and Secretary Cavazos in
presenting these awards, or at least shaking hands before you get to
the main event -- the award from our great Secretary of Education.
Thank you very much. (Applause.)

10:13 A.M. EDT
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
June 19, 1989
TO THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES:
With a view to receiving the advice and consent of the
Senate to ratification, I transmit herewith the United Nations
Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and
Psychotropic Substances, done at Vienna on December 20, 1988.
I also transmit, for the information of the Senate, the report
of the Department of State with respect to the Convention.
The production, trafficking, and consumption of illicit
narcotics have become a worldwide menace of unprecedented
proportions. Narcotics trafficking and abuse threaten the
developing and industrialized nations alike, eroding fragile
economies, endangering democratic institutions, and affecting
the health and well-being of people everywhere. The profits
made from the international drug trade are consolidated in the
hands of powerful drug lords who operate with impunity outside
the law. The widespread corruption, violence, and human
destruction associated with the drug problem imperil all
nations and can only be suppressed if all nations cooperate
effectively in bringing to justice those who engage in illicit
trafficking and abuse.
Patterned after many existing U.S. laws and procedures,
the present Convention represents a significant step forward
in international efforts to control the illicit traffic in
narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. The Convention
obligates states party to the agreement to cooperate in
suppressing illicit traffic and to take specific law
enforcement measures and enact domestic laws, including those
relating to money laundering, confiscation of assets,
extradition, mutual legal assistance, and trade in chemicals,
materials, and equipment used in the illegal manufacture of
controlled substances. These and other provisions seek to
establish a comprehensive set of laws and guidelines for a
concerted and more effective effort on an international basis
to combat illicit trafficking.
Having taken 4 years to complete, work on the
Convention began in 1984 under United Nations auspices, and
it was adopted at an international conference held in Vienna
in November and December 1988. The United States and 43 other
nations signed the Convention at that time, and 16 others
have signed since then. The Vienna Convention is a tribute
to the United Nations and represents the broadest and most
far-reaching set of laws and agreements ever adopted in this
field. It is strongly indicative of the political will of the
states that adopted it and puts those who profit from this
evil trade on notice that it will no longer be tolerated.
It is clear the Convention has enthusiastic support in the
international community, and it is expected that all states
will unreservedly endorse this major step to unify and
internationalize the fight against drugs and to generate
universal action.
I recommend, therefore, that the Senate give early and
favorable consideration to this Convention and give its advice
and consent to ratification.
GEORGE BUSH

Attached for your review are comments for the Drug-free
Schools Awards Ceremony to be held Monday, June 19, in the Rose
Garden. You will be speaking from cards for 5-7 minutes, after
which Secretary Cavazos will present a plaque to students from
each winning school.
II. DISCUSSION
Since these schools have done an exceptional job in drug
prevention and education, we felt it would be "preaching to the
choir" to give a Just-Say-No / zero tolerance speech. Therefore,
we have found several schools which have remarkable stories to be
cited as examples for other schools fighting drug abuse. (All
persons referred to the remarks will be present.)
Thank you.

Thank you for the kind introduction, Secretary Cavazos; Vice

welcome to the White House.
I thought long and hard about my remarks to you today, of
how to talk about the importance of drug education and

Frank Parks is here today, despite the fact that his office
was bombed a year ago. I'm told he and his wife are available 24
hours-a-day for the students, as they have been for years. And I
hope that the students will be lucky enough to have him for years
to come. Mr. Parks, thank you, and congratulations.
Next I'll tell you about St. John the Baptist School in
Brooklyn, N.Y. Here's what one of the judges who visited the
school wrote: "This school is a total drug-free oasis in a sea of

REMARKS: DRUG FREE SCHOOLS AWARDS
MONDAY, JUNE 19, 1989
ROSE GARDEN
[Acknowledgements]
I thought long and hard about my remarks to you today, of
how to talk about the importance of drug education and
prevention, and of how we can save our schools and our children
from drugs. Then I read the judges' reports about this year's
Drug Free Schools Award winners. They were unbelievable. So
today, I'd like to tell some American stories. They're stories
about drug-free schools and some amazing American heroes.
Let's start with Springarn High School, right here in
Washington, DC. Springarn is in one of Washington's worst drug
neighborhoods. One teacher said, "Five years ago, teachers were
afraid to go out in the hall between classes. There is no fear
here now." One man, a teacher named Frank Parks, saw the drug
dealers in the hallways, the expensive clothes
he smelled the
marijuana in the bathrooms and the locker rooms. So he started
Operation SAND [Student Activities Not Drugs], and recruited
popular athletes as peer counselors. He set up "Rap Rooms" for
kids to confidentially talk about the drug problems. He founded
a program that worked. He found answers.
Frank Parks is here today, despite the fact that his office
was bombed a year ago. I'm told he and his wife are available 24
2
hours-a-day for the students, as they have been for years. And I
hope that the students will be lucky enough to have him for years
to come. Mr. Parks, thank you, and congratulations.
Next I'll tell you about St. John the Baptist School in
Brooklyn, N.Y. Here's what one of the judges who visited the
school wrote: "This school is a total drug-free oasis in a sea of
crack dealers
This crusade to be a beacon of hope in a
neighborhood of burned out buildings and frequent killings is
taken with serious risk
The school is almost the last life
raft available to families whose neighborhood peace and quiet has
been overturned by the violence of alcohol and drugs. If this
school is not a model of a drug free school, then no such model
exists."
But keeping their school drug-free was not enough for St.
John's students. They have asked Mayor Koch to declare the
neighborhood a drug-free community, telling him about the crack
houses, and of the horror and despair they see during breaks.
Drug dealers recently broke into the office of Sister Mary Jane
Raeihle ((RAY-Lee)), the principal, ransacking it and breaking
into the safe where the school's money is kept. But they left
the money on her desk -- as a warning -- as a message to the
school to stop its activities. But St. John's hasn't stopped.
Just last week, during graduation practice, the brave nuns
stood between the drug dealers and the children to protect them
as they marched to the church. Sister Raeihle says, "We're very
proud of the children. Even the little ones know what it's all
3
about, which is a shame. We have goodwill and kids with alot of
hope
It's so hard for them and they have so much hope. " God
bless you, Sister, and God bless the children.
Roosevelt Vocational School, from Lake Wales, Florida
local police say this school is "sitting in the middle of a drug
supermarket." The students there are "high risk" for drug use:
emotional, physical and mental and learning disabilities. And
yet some ride two and three hours to get to Roosevelt. Let me
tell you why. Less than ten years ago, only 10% of Roosevelt's
graduates got and held jobs. But students soon realized that in
order to get the jobs they had been trained for, they had to be
drug-free. So they looked to the Kennedy Space Center -- which
you can see from the school windows -- and adopted the motto,
"Aiming for the highest." They kicked drugs out of the school,
stopped feeling sorry for themselves, and turned their attention
to others who needed help -- adopting a local family whose father
has Lou Gehrig's disease and raising thousands of dollars to help
them make ends meet. Now, 75% of the students are employed after
graduation. They aimed for the highest -- and made it. And
they're here today.
In fact, I heard a story about the principal, Harold Maready
( (Ma-RADY)) who made a bet with the students during Red Ribbon
Week, when students who are drug-free wear red ribbons and
clothes. He bet them that if at least half the school wore red
-- that is, were drug free -- he'd paint his bald head with the
words "Just Say No. " Well, 225 out of 295 showed up in red, and
4
guess what he had to do? ((I wore this red ribbon today, because
I think Mr. Maready had a great idea. Where's Marlin?))
Finally, a story from out West. Live Oak, California, is a
small town that started as a railroad stop serving ranchers. The
residents fill only five pages of the phone book. One traffic
light. No hospital. No jail. Just a drug store, a few
restaurants, a post office. A quiet small town? Not at all.
Drugs arrived over the border, brought by transient workers.
This county is now one of California's major producers of
methamphetamines and a major contact area for drugs arriving from
Mexico. The drugs got into the school, and things went downhill
fast. During the last four years, however, this school developed
a drug-free education program that is gradually influencing the
face of the entire community. Students, parents, business
leaders, and teachers came together -- and changed it from what
we used to call "The Three R's"
to "The Four R's": Respect,
Responsibility, Recognition and Recreation.
What made the difference was a "temporary" principal, Mrs.
Paula McIntire, assigned to the school for four months in 1985
she's still there. One judge called her "the visionary
dynamo behind the progress" at one of the most overwhelmed and
understaffed schools around. She and a teacher, Michael Dahl,
beat the odds by "vision, no-nonsense leadership, compassion and
professional expertise." Mrs. McIntire and Mr. Dahl, thank. you
for making the trip today, and thank you for a great job done.
5
As I look around here today, I see some of the top commandos
in the war on drugs ... our teachers, principles, community
leaders, parents and students. You are the ones winning this
war, because you are the ones looking to tomorrow.
I know that school's out for the summer, but there's one
last lesson all America can learn from the courage and
commitment, and yes, the downright stubbornness of each of these
heroes here today who never gave up. Every school in this
country can win. Every school in this country can be safe and
drug free. Thank you, and God bless you. Congratulations.

Comments on Presidential Remarks:
Page 3 "The students there are "high risk" for drug use:
emotional, physical, and mental and learning
disabilities.
This is a very awkward use of "high risk." Falling
into the high risk category is dependent upon the
individual's experiences. The above comes across as
almost a physiological disorder. I would suggest
something along the lines of the following:
"Many of the young people there are at a high risk.
Their experiences makes them vulnerable to the lure of
drug use. And yet some ride two and three hours to get

MEMORANDUM FOR CHRISS WINSTON
FROM:
ROGER B. PORTER
RBP
SUBJECT:
Presidential Remarks: Drug-Free Schools Address
The examples in the speech are striking and will be
inspiring to schools across the nation.
There is, however, a missed opportunity. Nothing is said
in the address as to why drug-free schools -- and leading a
drug-free life -- are important:
how it takes a clear mind to get a good education and
lead a productive life;
- how the vast majority of students who are drug-free have
a right to learn in drug-free schools;
- how the key to drug-free schools -- and to a drug-free
America -- is for kids never even to try drugs
in the first place;
- how drugs are the number one problem facing schools
according to polling data over the last several
years and alcohol is the number one problem drug
among students.
These are points that might usefully be incorporated in
this speech.
If you have any questions or I can help in any other way,
please let me know.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
89 JUN 16 P3: 05
June 16, 1989
Memorandum to Chriss Winston
From:
Jim Pinkerton
P
Subject:
Drug Free Schools Awards Draft Speech
This series of anecdotes makes for a very interesting
speech, at the sacrifice, naturally, of expressing the
President's program on drugs. The cost may be worth it because
the stories are so captivating. Still, sometimes we wonder what
practical lessons are intended from some of the anecdotes. For
example:
pg.3, paras. 2-3 In the story of Roosevelt Voc. School, we are
told that the school succeeded because the "students soon
realized that in order to get the jobs they had been trained for,
they had to be drug-free." The question is: why did they
realize this? No doubt, the answer in these cases is usually
going to be ambiguous. Probably, the answer is the Principal.
If that's so, it needs to be made more explicit.
Secondly, if the Principal's bet with the students was just
a matter of enough students showing up with red ribbons, then
that is more of a comment on how many students wanted to see the
Principal paint his head rather than how many were drug free.
Was there any test, for example, to show that the students were
in fact drug free? The story would make a better point if there
were.
Incidentally, the second paragraph, like a number of other
paragraphs in the speech, is too long (17 lines), and should be
split up.
4,3,8
"great job done" The usual idiom is "job well done."
5,1,1
"top commandos" is too paramilitary and has a terrorist
connotation. We suggest "generals" or "leaders."
