Crime FYI:
Monday the 17th is the fifth anniversary of the highly-publicized
Stockton, CA killings. On that day, Patrick Purdy went to the Cleveland
Elementary School, which he once attended, and sprayed the playground with more
than 100 rounds from an AK-47 semiautomatic assault rifle. He killed five
children and injured 30 others before finally taking his own life. Soon
afterwards, the Stockton City Council banned assault weapons, provoking the
assault weapons debate here in Washington and leading the Bush Administration to
ban the importation of assault weapons. However, five years later, we still
haven't banned domestically produced assault weapons.
I don't know if the President can speak to this issue on Monday, but
it's worth a thought.

Carol,
Despite my best efforts to speak to Edley, John Angel and others at OMB, they
sent notice through the OMB clearance process that anyone who wanted to see the
drug strategy could come and view it -- or pick-up a copy -- at OMB. I asked
them very nicely to talk to Panetta first or to at least let me know if they
intended to make the strategy available so I could phone you. The did neither
and are now ready to make the strategy available to any agency staff and to take
5 days to run it through the clearance process.
It would be great if you could call Edley or Panetta to ensure that OMB does not
circulate the strategy draft to whomever, and to ensure that we control the
editing of the text. (Again, the drug budget -- the 200 page table that goes
with the 200 page strategy -- will go through the clearance process, but not the
strategy text).
Jose'
PS: This guy wastes so much of our time. See your fax for OMB notice that just
went out.

Carol,
You're not goint to believe this, but Edley's staff told ONDCP this morning that
he fully intends to submit the strategy rewrite through the clearance process
today. I suggested to them that they check with Director Panetta and told them
that this issue had been discussed at the recent DPC meeting -- and between you
and Panetta personally. I'm assuming Edley will get the message; if not, I'll
let you know.
In the meantime, the document is available for review at both OMB and ONDCP,
with an additional copy going to the right politicals at the major drug agencies
-- HHS, Justice, Education and State.

Carol,
Since I'll miss today's conference call (every Tuesday's at 9:30 am I
have a senior staff meeting with Dr. Brown), I thought I'd drop you a quick line
to let you know where we are with the drug strategy.
I and ONDCP staff -- and members of Edley's staff -- met with the drug
contacts of the individual agencies last week to go over over each agency's
line-by-line edits. The meetings ran for as long as 3 hours (Justice), and
ONDCP accepted the overwhelming percentage of agency edits, including
suggestions on how to restructure the strategy.
ONDCP will make the drug strategy revision available to the agencies
this morning, with instructions to submit any secondary edits by COB tomorrow.
I really don't expect any problems with the agencies, but if they have any
problems with the second draft we should know by late today or early tomorrow.
As for White House distribution, cabinet affairs intends to distribute
the strategy revision throughout the White House this morning -- unless you
think it should come from you or perhaps from you, Christine and John Podesta.
If you have no preference, I'll just circulate it through cabinet affairs with a
note that we must have all comments by this week's end.

restriction is that the third conviction is in Federal Court, but that can still

ATT TEXT:
Paul,
Here's a quick paragraph on the Daley proposals. If you this isn't what you're looking for give me a ring or a
beep. If not, I'm off to the next crisis.
The Administration is very supportive of Mayor Daley's tough but smart approach to crime and violence, and
appreciates the support he and his Police Superintendent Matt Rodriguez have given the crime bill, National
Service and the Presidents proposal
to put 100,000 more police on the street.
Two of the changes we are considering to help make the policing title more flexible include: (1) allowing the 85%
of the policing funds dedicated for new hires to be used for overtime while the first wave of new officers are in
training; and (2) making
sure that at least 60% of the policing monies go directly to the larger cities (current bills only reserve 40-50% of the
funds for the larger jurisdictions).
Today, when the AG met with the Mayors, she was going to challenge cities to do what Chicago does - destroy
all seized guns. The Administration has quit reselling its own guns and supports local governments doing the same.
We are also committed to making sure that the gun-related provisions in the Senate crime bill are included in the
House or stay in the final crime bill conference report. These include: the Feinstein ban on assault weapons; Senator
Simon's Federal
Firearms Licensing reforms, which include the Daley
supported provision that requires federally-licensed to comply with state and local laws; and the Kohl bill, which
prohibits minor from possessing or being sold handguns. The Administration has taken no
position on the various gun and bullet taxes being considered in Congress, but ATF and Justice are studying other gun
measures.
And finally, Mayor Daley's school safety proposals are 100 percent consistent with the Administration's Safe and
Drug-Free Schools reauthorization, which is currently before the Congress, and the more limited Safe Schools proposal
included in the Senate cr
ime bill.

Unfunded mandates can include anything -- and are a matter of interpretation.
Some folks are saying that truth-in-sentencing is an unfunded mandate, even
though we would be giving them some bucks. In truth, it's probably an
underfunded mandate. Imposing requirements regarding -- oh, let's say -- union
labor, environmental standards, civil rights protections, etc. without

Carol,
Sorry about the delay in responding to your e-mails yesterday, but I've been at
the drug office for the past day and a half and haven't been able to check my
computer. Also, since I've been quite caught up this week with a series of
crime and drug meetings, deadlines, etc., Mike agreed to cover the Chicago
hearing for me. As a fellow midwesterner, I'm sure he'll do just fine in the
Chicago cold.
1 - Arkansas Call. I'll make sure this call is made today. However, I'm
afraid this has to do with the FY 95 budget zeroing out the state formula
component of the Byrne state and local law enforcement assistance grants.
Despite the overall increases in crime/drug monies, we have a lot of explaining
to do to Governors and state police departments on why we zeroed out
Byrne more on this later.
2 - - Safe Homes. Lee Brown will be at the Safe Homes announcement on Friday.
Currently, I'm working to get the Safe Homes policy cleared by Friday.
Apparently Cisneros did not share his proposal with Justice and others until
late yesterday, and agency staff have concerns with parts of HUD's proposed
policy. We should be able to resolve this relatively quickly though.
3 - - Drug Briefing. I'll follow-up with Phil Lader's office about the drug
briefing.
4 - - Cabinet and Drug Strategy. I think we're set with the cabinet's
involvement, but I'll make sure and keep on this.
Lastly, Carol, let me offer my sincere apologies for the circumstances
surrounding the Burke/Califano meeting with the President. Without making any
excuses, I guess I let Gergen's shop use DPC to help get a meeting on the
President's schedule. I won't let it happen again -- and would hate to have
done anything to lose your trust. Again, sorry.

TALKING POINTS ON STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT FUNDING
(FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION)
The Administration's FY 95 budget includes a more than 300% increase in assistance to state and local law
enforcement. It provides full funding for the Senate crime bill -- $2.4 billion in FY 95. These funds make it possible
to dramatically increase aid
to the front lines of the war on crime, while also reducing the need for smaller Byrne Grant programs.
The Byrne Grant program consist of a $50 million discretionary grant component and a formula grant component
that was funded at $358 million in FY 94. States use these monies for multi-jurisdictional task forces to target drug
traffickers; drug
enforcement near designated Drug-Free zones; correctional options grants, which include drug treatment and
alternative sentencing such as boot camps; DARE or similar drug education programs; community policing
demonstration programs; and miscellaneous
projects.
The FY 95 budget zeros out the formula component of the Byrne program (-$358 million) -- but doubles the
discretionary component from $50 million to $100 million. The budget also assumes full funding of the Senate crime
bill $2.4 billion in FY 95 --
and includes a net increase of about $1.884 billion in state and local law enforcement assistance.
CRIME INVESTMENTS IN BUDGET MORE THAN MAKE-UP FOR BYRNE CUTS
�
The Administration's budget proposes a total anti-crime investment of more than $2.5 billion - most of which is
for state and local law enforcement assistance. This is a net increase in state and local law enforcement assistance of
more than 300%.
ïᵢ½
By fully funding the crime bill, the Administration's budget increases funding for most of the activities currently
funded through the Byrne program -- community policing, Brady Bill implementation (upgrading state criminal justice
records), crime
prevention programs, boot camps and other alternative sentencing options.
i¿½
Other crime investments that will help fund state and local programs include an increase in Byrne discretionary
grants from $50 to $100 million, and an increase in juvenile justice programs from $103 million to $172 million.
i¿½
Overall crime spending increases by $3.2 BILLION, or 21%, in the President's budget.
DESPITE BYRNE CUTS, THE OVERALL DRUG BUDGET HAS ALSO INCREASED
�
Overall drug control spending increases by $1 billion, or 9%, in the President's budget.
�
The drug budget includes dramatic increases for drug treatment (+14%) and prevention and education (+28%) --
without cutting law enforcement/criminal justice programs (+4%) or important international drug efforts (+22%). Only
interdiction programs have
been noticeably cut (-7%).
i¿½
Drug budget increases also overlap with programs that are currently funded through Byrne formula grants --
community policing, criminal justice drug treatment, drug education and prevention in our schools.
COMMITMENT TO WORK WITH GOVERNORS, MAYORS ON CRIME BILL FUNDING
�
The Nation's Governors and Mayors recently visited with the President to discuss crime, violence and drugs --
and there is no disagreement between the Administration, states and cities that we need to spend more money at the
state and local level to do
something about crime and drugs.
i¿½
Over the next few months, as Congress considers crime legislation and the Administration's budget, we will work
with cities and states and Members of Congress to determine how to best spend and distribute the significant crime
investments proposed by the
President.
i¿½
In the end, NO state will receive less crime and drug money under the Administration's budget than it currently
receives under the Byrne Grant formula program.

Poll: New York lawyers think they're tops
NEW YORK (Feb. 6) UPI - New York lawyers responding to a survey released
Sunday say they like their jobs and think highly of their profession, despite
feeling a they pay a high price for their career choice.
The poll also found that more lawyers would like to be John Grisham, the
best-selling author of legal thrillers, than chief justice of the United
States Supreme Court, a position now held by William Rehnquist.
The New York Law Journal quizzed 401 attorneys by telephone. More than half of
those who work at large firms said they believe New York lawyers are better
than those in other locations.
Eighty-four percent of respondents said they see themselves and their
colleagues as ethical.
But a solid majority also found negative impacts on their lives stemming from
their profession. Details of the adverse effects tended to differ along gender
lines, the poll found.
Women made up 24 percent of those polled. Fifty-three percent of them would
trade higher pay for shorter hours, while only 43 percent of the men polled
would make that swap. Most attorneys work more than 40 hours weekly, with one
in eight reporting a work week of more than 60 hours.
Almost three out of four female lawyers polled said their families bear
job-related burdens.
That complaint came from only 55 percent of the men. More than half of the
divorced lawyers, including men and women, said their career fueled the
break-up.
Nevertheless, 82 percent of all those questioned said they were "very" or
"somewhat" satisfied with their professional lives.
That did not stop an untraditional choice from topping the list of desired
career pinnacles, however. More people turned their eyes towards Hollywood
than Washington.
Thirty-four percent said they would want to be the U.S. Supreme Court chief
justice. However, 36 percent would prefer to live the life of John Grisham,
author of "The Firm" and "The Pelican Brief," fictional lawyer novels that
were turned into blockbuster movies.

TALKING POINTS ON 1994 DRUG STRATEGY
i¿½
Today, the President and Lee Brown unveiled the Administration's 1994 Drug Strategy. It's a realistic, balanced
strategy that after years of rhetoric focuses on the most difficult facet of America's drug problem -- hardcore drug
use.
DEMANDING THAT HARDCORE DRUG USERS BE TREATED
i¿½
Treating America's drug problem must start with an aggressive effort to break the cycle of hardcore drug use.
This won't be easy, but we can't continue to ignore it. Hardcore drug users fuel the demand for drugs in this country
and put the great
strains on our society in the forms of increased crime and health costs, reduced productivity, homelessness, higher
welfare costs and more.
ïᵢ½
Heavy drug users consume a majority of the nation's illegal drug supply. Although hardcore users account for
only about 20% of all cocaine users, they consume about two-thirds of the available cocaine.
�
Most importantly, hardcore drug use is linked directly and indirectly to a disproportionate amount of crime
and violence. One study found that more than 50% of hardcore drug users not in treatment were engaged in recent
illegal activity, and anothe
r study revealed that 53% of the murders in New York during six-month period were drug-related.
i¿½
It make sense to treat hardcore drug users. Not only have countless studies shown that drug treatment reduces
criminality, but treatment also has been shown to save money. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, for
every $1 spent on
treatment, $7 is returned to society in the form of reduced public spending ($3) and increased productivity ($4).
�
That's why the 1994 Strategy calls for $355 million to be spent on a new initiative to treat 74,000 hardcore drug
users -- the largest such proposal to date. And that's why the 1994 drug strategy calls for passage of crime legislation
that will treat an
additional 65,000 hardcore users in the criminal justice system.
If we're going to reduce the harm these addicts impose on society, we must demand that they get off the streets
and into treatment and we'll help them do that. But if hardcore users don't get the message we'll use our courts,
jails and prisons to
make sure they do.
SENDING A STRONG "NO USE" MESSAGE TO OUR KIDS
i¿½
After years of casual drug use having generally declined, recent surveys indicate that drug use (marijuana, LSD
and inhalants) may be on the rise again as is the feeling that drugs are "cool" and not that dangerous. We must let
our kids know that
nothing could be further from the truth. Our kids must know, in no uncertain terms, that drugs are not only dangerous
but illegal.
i¿½
Recent studies have also shown an alarming level of violence in our schools and suggest that there is a strong link
between kids who bring guns to school and drug use. Not only must our kids get a strong "no use" message on drugs,
but we must take the
opportunity to tell them about the dangers of guns and gangs, too.
�
To combat the increasing levels drug use and violence in our schools, the Strategy redoubles in-school prevention
efforts and proposes a $191 million increase in the Administration's proposed Safe and Drug-Free Schools and
Communities Act.
iⱼ½
But increased funding is not enough. We must do everything we can to prevent crime, drug use and violence, but
government can't solve this problem alone. Families must take responsibility for their children. Individuals need to
take personal responsibi
lity for their own actions. And communities need to challenge their citizens to stand up for common decency, and
refuse to accept the unacceptable anymore.
REJECTING THE FALSE CHOICE BETWEEN "SUPPLY" AND "DEMAND"
�
Although the 1994 Strategy places a new emphasis on reducing the demand for drugs, it does so without reducing
our commitment to law enforcement. In fact, the Strategy includes a 4% increase in drug-related criminal justice
expenditures -- and an
overall increase in anti-crime spending of 21%, or $3.2 billion.
i¿½
The Administration's overall crime budget also gets money to those on the front lines -- state and local
enforcement. The FY 95 budget proposes increasing aid to state and local law enforcement by more than 300%.
i¿½
The 1994 Strategy calls for smarter, better coordinated international drug control efforts. Instead of simply
relying on interdiction efforts that try and stop illegal drug shipments as they're being transported, the Strategy
proposes spending more
resources on going right to the source of the drug supply -- and working to destroy international drug trafficking
organizations in their own countries.
MAKING THE TOUGH FUNDING CHOICES
i¿½
Despite tough fiscal times, the 1994 Strategy is backed by the necessary funds. It includes large increases for
treatment of hardcore drug users (14.3%), increased drug education and prevention (28%), and efforts to target
international drug trafficking
organizations ($21.7%).
�
The FY 1995 budget demonstrated real fiscal discipline: it cut spending in 7 of the 14 departments; cut more than
300 federal programs; and terminated more than 100 other programs. Still, the 1994 Strategy proposes the largest
federal drug budget ever
-- increasing drug-related spending by almost 9%, or more than $1 billion.

National Drug Control Strategy
Prince George's County Correctional Center
February 9, 1994
Let me start by thanking everyone who is here today to join us in
announcing the Administration's 1994 National Drug Control Strategy.
We've worked long and hard since you first asked me to join your
Cabinet, Mr. President, to get to this point, and I am both proud and
honored to be here today with you, the Vice President, my colleagues in
the Cabinet, and all of our other guests.
When I started this job some months ago, I brought with me the
perspective of a career law enforcement official whose experience
started on the streets of San Jose, CA as an undercover narcotics
officer and most recently ended as New York City's Police Commissioner.
Thirty years ago, when I confronted drug dealers on the streets, this
Nation had a different drug problem than it has today. Back then, fewer
than 4 million persons has tried illegal drugs, and most people didn't
question that drugs were dangerous, physically harmful -- and, yes,
illegal.
I didn't have to fear for my life on the streets back then.
Today, our drug situation has dramatically changed. Nearly 80
million Americans have tried illegal drugs, and the news on most fronts
remains quite bad. Chronic, hardcore drug use in particular continues
unabated: it fuels the demand for drugs; it drives up the numbers of
crimes and the incidence of violence in our communities; it increases
health care costs for all Americans; and puts a continued drain on the
engine of our economy. And two weeks ago, we received the bad news that
-- after years of casual drug use generally declining more of our
youth have either used drugs or think it might be okay to use them.
But perhaps the saddest truth about today's drug problem is that -
- not only do I and others fear for the lives of police officers who
have taken my place on the streets - we fear for the lives of our
children when they're in school and even of our family members when they
walk out the front door of their homes. It should not be that way.
With the 1994 National Drug Control Strategy, we've confronted
these issues as never before. The Strategy takes on the difficult
problem of hardcore drug use the heart of the Nation's drug problem
- and sounds the alarm on sending a strong "no use" message to our youth
about the dangers of drugs, guns and gangs. It tells our communities
that we will be partners with them -- helping them put more police on
the street and more. It tells other countries equally committed in the
fight against drugs that we will keep our commitment to help them take
on the drug traffickers and cartels.
This is a realistic, balanced approach to dealing with the drug
problem, and -- despite tough fiscal times -- is backed by the funds
required to put it into action. It is the most comprehensive strategy
ever -- and it represents an unprecedented level of cooperation between
the cabinet agencies, under the leadership of the President, to take on
the Nation's drug problem.
Now, it is my pleasure to introduce the Vice President of the
United States.

TALKING POINTS ON 1994 DRUG STRATEGY
?
Today, the President and Lee Brown unveiled the Administration's
1994 Drug Strategy and the largest federal drug budget ever - --
$13.2 billion. It's a realistic, balanced strategy that after
years of rhetoric -- focuses on the most difficult facet of
America's drug problem -- hardcore drug use.
DEMANDING THAT HARDCORE DRUG USERS BE TREATED
?
Treating America's drug problem must start with an aggressive
effort to break the cycle of hardcore drug use. This won't be
easy, but we can't continue to ignore it. Hardcore drug users
fuel the demand for drugs in this country and put the great
strains on our society in the forms of increased crime and health
costs, reduced productivity, homelessness, higher welfare costs
and more.
?
Heavy drug users consume a majority of the nation's illegal drug
supply. Although hardcore users account for only about 20% of all
cocaine users, they consume about two-thirds of the available
cocaine.
?
Most important, hardcore drug use is linked - directly and
indirectly - to a disproportionate amount of crime and violence.
One study found that more than 50% of hardcore drug users not in
treatment were engaged in recent illegal activity, and another
study revealed that 53% of the murders in New York during a six-
month period were drug-related.
?
It makes sense to treat hardcore drug users. Not only have
countless studies shown that drug treatment reduces criminality,
but treatment also has been shown to save money. According to the
National Institute on Drug Abuse, for every $1 spent on treatment,
$7 is returned to society in the form of reduced public spending
($3) and increased productivity ($4).
?
That's why the 1994 Strategy calls for $355 million to be spent on
a new initiative to treat 74,000 hardcore drug users the
largest such proposal to date. And that's why the 1994 drug
strategy calls for passage of crime legislation that will treat at
least an additional 64,000 hardcore users in the criminal justice
system.
?
If we're going to reduce the harm these addicts impose on society,
we must demand that they get off the streets and into treatment - -
and we'll help them do that. But if hardcore users don't get the
message -
we'll use our courts, jails and prisons to make sure
they do.
SENDING A STRONG "NO USE" MESSAGE TO OUR KIDS
?
After years of a general decline in casual drug use, recent
surveys indicate that the use of certain drugs (marijuana, LSD and
inhalants) may be on the rise -- along with an increase in the
feeling that drugs are "cool" and not that dangerous. We must let
our
kids know that nothing could be further from the truth. Our kids
must know, in no uncertain terms, that drugs are not only
dangerous -
but illegal.
?
Recent studies have also shown an alarming level of violence in
our schools and suggest that there is a strong link between kids
who bring guns to school and drug use. Not only must our kids get
a strong "no use" message on drugs, but we must take the
opportunity to tell them about the dangers of guns and gangs, too.
?
To combat the increasing levels of drug use and violence in our
schools, the Strategy redoubles in-school prevention efforts and
proposes a $191 million increase in the Administration's proposed
Safe and Drug-
Free Schools and Communities Act.
?
Increased funding is not enough. We must do everything we can to
prevent crime, drug use and violence -- government can't solve
this problem alone. Families must take responsibility for their
children. Individuals need to take personal responsibility for
their own actions. And communities need to challenge their
citizens to stand up for common decency, and refuse to accept the
unacceptable anymore.
REJECTING THE FALSE CHOICE BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND TREATMENT
?
Although the 1994 Strategy places a new emphasis on reducing the
demand for drugs, it does so without reducing our commitment to
law enforcement. In fact, the Strategy includes a 4% increase in
drug-related criminal justice expenditures -- and an overall
increase in anti-crime spending of 21%, or $3.2 billion.
?
The Administration's overall budget for crime also gets money to
those on the front lines state and local enforcement. The FY
95 budget proposes increasing aid to state and local law
enforcement by more than 300%.
?
The 1994 Strategy calls for improvement of our international drug
control programs -- a controlled shift from a total emphasis on
interdiction to a more balanced approach: working with source
countries that have the political will to go after the kingpins
and cartels who grew rich from supplying our people with drugs.
The Strategy says we're not going to wait for you at the border,
we're coming after you at the source.
MAKING THE TOUGH FUNDING CHOICES
?
Despite tough fiscal times, the 1994 Strategy is backed by the
necessary funds. It includes large increases for treatment of
hardcore drug users (14.3%), increased drug education and
prevention (28%), and efforts to target international drug
trafficking organizations (21.7%).
?
The FY 1995 budget demonstrated real fiscal discipline: it cut
spending in 7 of the 14 departments; cut more than 300 federal
programs; and terminated more than 100 programs. Still, the 1994
Strategy proposes the largest federal drug budget ever -
increasing drug-
related spending by almost 9%, or more than $1
billion.
1994 NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL STRATEGY
?
The 1994 Strategy targets the problem of hardcore drug use and the
violence that surrounds it. This is the heart of the Nation's current
drug crisis.
- It proposes a new $355 million treatment initiative to get 74,000
hardcore addicts off the street and into treatment where they belong.
- It calls for passage of a tough and smart crime bill that will help
treat at least an additional 64,000 addicts in the criminal justice
system.
- It calls for passage of the Health Security Act to make the first-
ever guarantee of drug treatment services available to the more than 58
million Americans who have no coverage at all for some time each year.
- The Strategy's goal: to reduce hardcore drug use by an average annual
rate of 5%.
?
The Strategy strengthens our drug prevention efforts and maintains the
strong "no use" message required to keep our kids from experimenting
with drugs in the first place.
- It proposes an increase of $191 million in school-based drug and
violence prevention -Safe and Drug-Free Schools.
- It rejects the legalization of illegal drugs as a potential answer to
the drug problem.
- It calls for a national meeting of substance abuse prevention experts
to help turn around kids who have a new-found interest in certain
illegal drugs.
- The Strategy's goal: to reduce the number of casual drug users at an
average annual rate of 5%.
?
The Strategy recognizes the need to empower communities with an
integrated plan of education, prevention, treatment and law enforcement
-- and explicitly rejects the false choice between law enforcement and
treatment programs.
- It proposes a dramatic increase in community policing programs to
help neighborhood residents take back their streets.
- The overall FY 95 budget proposes an increase of more than 300% for
state and local law enforcement.
- The Strategy goes hand-in-hand with the Administration's other
community-based efforts -- such as National Service and Empowerment
Zones and Enterprise Communities -- to ensure that crime, drugs and
violence are addressed at the grass roots level.
?
The Strategy expands our international drug control efforts by not
simply waiting for drugs to come to our border, but by going right to
the source countries where illegal drugs are produced.

Crime and Leadership Meeting
February 10, 1994
Thank you all for joining us here today for this regional briefing
on crime, drugs and violence. This is the first of many briefings that
the White House and various cabinet members will be conducting on the
issue of crime, drugs and violence. These issues impact the personal
security of all Americans and are the most pressing concerns in the
lives of millions of Americans.
I want to give a special welcome to some of my former colleagues
in New York and in law enforcement who are here today. Thank you for
attending. (see list of attendees)
Several months ago the President was asked about what his
Administration intended to do to combat crime, drugs and violence in
America. He responded that the Administration would take a "sustained,
organized, disciplined approach" to these problems. That's precisely
what this Administration has started to do over the past few months with
the consideration of important crime legislation in the Congress, with
Secretary Reilly's proposed Safe and Drug-Free Schools programs, with
Secretary Bentsen's firearms proposal, with Operation Safe Home -- a
recently announced, joint cabinet effort to rid the Nation's public
housing of crime and drugs, and as of yesterday with the release
of the largest, most comprehensive drug strategy ever.
The 1994 Drug Strategy is a realistic, balanced strategy that --
after years of rhetoric on the drug issue focuses on the most
difficult facet of America's drug problem --hardcore drug use.
You and I know that hardcore drug use is at the heart of the
Nation's drug problem, and that it is inextricably linked to crime and
violence. Past strategies have ignored this simple but difficult truth.
Hardcore drug users fuel the demand for drugs in this country and put
great strains on our society in the forms of increased crime and health
costs, reduced productivity, homelessness, higher welfare costs and
more.
But we also know that treatment - done right reduces
criminality and saves money in the long run. For every $1 spent on
treatment, $7 is returned to society in the form of reduced public
spending and increased productivity. That's why the 1994 Strategy
proposes an increase of $355 million to treat 74,000 hardcore drug users
-- the largest such proposal to date -- and calls for passage of a tough
but smart crime bill that will treat even hardcore users in the criminal
justice system.
If we're going to reduce the harm heavy drug users impose on
society, we must get them off the streets and into treatment -- and
we'll help them do that. But if necessary, we'll use our courts, jails
and prisons to make sure these users get the treatment they need to
benefit themselves and society.
But in taking on the difficult problem of chronic, hardcore drug
use, we must not relax our efforts to let kids know that drugs are
neither "cool" nor fun. Our kids must know, in no uncertain terms, that
drugs are not only dangerous -- but illegal.
Recent studies have shown increased drug use among our children,
alarming levels of violence in our schools and suggest that there is a
strong link between the two. Not only must our kids get a strong "no
use" message on drugs, but we must take the opportunity to tell them
about the dangers of guns and gangs, too.
The 1994 Strategy place a high priority on drug education and
prevention. It redoubles in-school prevention efforts and proposes a
$191 million increase in the Administration's proposed Safe and Drug-
Free Schools and Communities Act, which Secretary Reilly will discuss
later in more detail.
In the end, however, increased government funding or new laws
won't be enough. Families must take responsibility for their children.
Individuals need to take personal responsibility for their own actions.
And communities need to challenge their citizens to stand up for common
decency, and refuse to accept the unacceptable anymore.
I can't understate how committed this Administration is to helping
communities take back their streets. The President has spoken very
passionately about this. That's why --although we're placing a new
emphasis on reducing the demand for drugs through increased treatment
and prevention -- we're not letting up on our law enforcement efforts --
especially at the state and local level. The Administration's budget
includes the largest request ever for state and local enforcement
assistance an increase of more than 300% and most of which is to
help put more police on the street and increase community policing. Now
that's something that I and many of you here know works.
Again, thank you for coming today. I haven't touched on all the
specifics of our drug strategy, but I'll be happy to take any questions
that you might have about it.

President Clinton
State of the Union Address
January 25, 1994
IT'S TIME TO PASS A CRIME BILL. AMERICANS HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH.
*
Personal security has become the most pressing concern in the
everyday lives of millions of Americans and their families. People have
a right to feel safe, and the first duty of government is to keep them
safe.
*
We are in the midst of an epidemic of violence in this country.
It is time to put politics and ideology aside and start providing real
answers to the real fears of real people. We need more police, more
drug courts, more boot camps, and a criminal justice system that keeps
violent criminals off the streets. We also need stronger families,
better schools, and more work in our communities.
FIGHTING CRIME IS A CENTERPIECE OF THE ADMINISTRATION'S DOMESTIC AGENDA.
*
President Clinton made crime a centerpiece of his State of the
Union Address, and challenged Congress to move quickly to pass a crime
bill that will reduce and prevent crime and violence.
* The Administration is seeking action on all fronts:
Put 100,000 More Police Officers on the Street in Community
Policing. Putting more police on the beat will do more than anything
else to catch criminals and prevent crime from occurring in the first
place. In December, the Administration awarded grants to 74 cities and
towns to expand community policing.
Put Violent, Repeat Offenders Away for Life. Most violent crimes
are committed by a small percentage of criminals. We need a criminal
justice system that makes sure those who commit crimes serve their
sentences, and says to repeat offenders: When you commit a third
violent crime, you will be put away, and put away for good -- three
strikes and you're out. The Senate crime bill includes more money for
prisons.
Pass an Assault Weapons Ban. No other nation allows teenagers to
roam the streets with assault weapons, better armed than the police.
The President has challenged sportsmen and others to join in this effort
to build on the Brady Bill and keep guns out of the hands of criminals.
The Senate crime bill includes a ban on the manufacture and sale of
assault weapons, the gun of choice for drug dealers and gangs.
Expand Drug Treatment. Drugs are a factor in an enormous
percentage of crimes. Recent studies indicate that drug use is on the
rise again among young people. The crime bill contains more money for
drug treatment for criminal addicts and boot camps for youthful
offenders, and the Administration FY95 budget will contain a large
increase in funding for drug treatment and drug education.
Give Young People Something to Say Yes to. In America's toughest
neighborhoods, meanest streets, and poorest rural areas, we have seen a
stunning breakdown of community, family and work -- the heart and soul
of civilized society. This has created a vast vacuum into which
violence, drugs and gangs have moved. So, even as we say no to crime,
we must give people -- especially our young people -- something to say
yes to. The Administration has undertaken many initiatives to help
rebuild distressed communities, strengthen families, and provide work,
including: job training, welfare reform, health reform, Empowerment
Zones, reform of the Community Reinvestment Act, and legislation to
launch a national network of community development banks.

- It rejects the legalization of illegal drugs as a potential answer to the drug problem.
- It calls for a national meeting of substance abuse prevention experts to help turn around kids who have a new-
found interest in certain illegal drugs.
- The Strategy's goal: to reduce the number of casual drug users at an average annual rate of 5%.
The Strategy recognizes the need to empower communities with an integrated plan of education, prevention,
treatment and law enforcement -- and explicitly rejects the false choice between law enforcement and treatment
programs.
- It proposes a dramatic increase in community policing programs to help neighborhood residents take back their
streets.
- The overall FY 95 budget proposes an increase of more than 300% for state and local law enforcement.
- The Strategy goes hand-in-hand with the Administration's other community-based efforts -- such as National
Service and Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities -- to ensure that crime, drugs and violence are
addressed at the grass roots level.
The Strategy expands our international drug control efforts by not simply waiting for drugs to come to our border,
but by going right to the source countries where illegal drugs are produced.

Survey finds men "more careful" around female co-workers
EMMAUS, Pa. (Feb. 24) UPI - A nationwide survey has found that publicity
about sexual harassment cases has changed the way men treat female co- workers.
Nearly two-thirds of the men surveyed by Men's Health magazine said they are
more careful about what they say to women in the workplace. They were asked if
publicity on high-profile sexual harassment cases such as those involving U.S.
Sen. Bob Packwood of Oregon and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was
instrumental in changing their attitudes.
The survey released Thursday found the biggest change in behavior was among
African-American men. Of the black men surveyed, 79 percent said they were
more cautious in their treatment of women, compared to 65 percent of white men.
Men in the western part of the country were the most likely to have changed
their behavior, with 72 percent saying they were more careful in their
dealings with female co-workers.
Magazine spokesman Patrick Taylor said the survey showed men are realizing
that "even the casual comment you think is totally harmless can be translated
into something else."
The telephone survey of 500 men was conducted last month by Chilton Research
of Radnor, Pa. and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.
Taylor said the survey will appear in an upcoming issue of the magazine.

Remarks for Dr. Lee Brown
Riddick Bowe Event
February 28, 1993
Thank you for inviting me here today to see the success that Chief
Thomas, the Metropolitan Police Department and Riddick Bowe had in
getting more than two thousand guns off of the streets in Washington.
Law-abiding Americans all across the country are fed up with gun
violence, with random shootings and kids killing kids. Riddick Bowe and
everyone else who helped get these guns off the street have decided to
stand up and do something about it, and I commend them for trying to
make a difference.
Today is an especially appropriate day to talk about how we can
make a difference when it comes to gun violence. After 7 years of
debating the issue, Congress passed the Brady bill last year, and today
it goes into effect all across the country. After years of selling
millions and millions of firearms on the honor system, today we'll
change that. We'll ask everyone who wants to purchase a handgun to wait
5 days, so that law enforcement can try and keep guns out of the hands
of criminals.
On Saturday, the Justice Department released a report showing that
the number of violent crimes involving the use of a firearm has
increased dramatically, and that 23% of state prisoners who committed
crimes while carrying a gun and had previous criminal records -- bought
their guns in retail stores. Clearly, the report shows that the Brady
Law will make a difference as it goes into effect today. But the report
also serves as a grim reminder that we could have made a bigger
difference had we passed the Brady Bill sooner.
Let's learn from that lesson. Let's not wait another 7 years
before we ban assault weapons and make it illegal for kids to have
handguns. Let's not wait that long to overhaul a federal gun licensing
system that has made it easier and cheaper to become a federally
licensed gun dealer than it is to become a member of the NRA.
Our new drug strategy makes the direct link between drugs, guns
and gangs. We can't ignore the fact that as long as hardcore drug use,
which fuels the demand for illegal drugs in this country, continues
unabated so, too, will the gangs and drug traffickers who sell
illegal drugs continue the arms race on our streets. Let's break this
cycle of drug abuse and violence. Let's keep guns and gangs off the
streets for good by getting hardcore users into treatment and off drugs.
But most important, let's follow the example of Riddick Bowe and
Chief Thomas and challenge ourselves to make a difference today. As we
work to pass tough gun laws and a smart drug strategy, and as we work to
give all Americans something to say "yes" to, let's not wait for
government to act. Like Riddick and others, we can all make an
immediate difference by standing up for common decency and refusing to
accept the unacceptable today -- and everyday.
Thank you.

Here's my quick revision to your page #5, paragraphs #1 and #2. I'm sure you get a sense of what I'm trying to
say here, so please edit freely if you need to. Beep me in the morning if you want to talk and can't reach me --
otherwise, this looks good to
me.
I know that in your letter to the Attorney General you were particularly interested in the Administration's
proposal to eliminate the formula component of the Byrne grant program, while at the same time doubling the amount
of money available for
discretionary purposes. States have used Byrne grant monies to fund many worthy and innovative programs such
as community policing, boot camps, criminal justice drug treatment, and anti-gang initiatives. However, crime
legislation currently being
considered by the House and Senate will dramatically expand and directly fund many of these same program
areas. We firmly believe that the Administration's proposed increase for state and local law enforcement -- the largest
ever when combined
with crime legislation, will provide states and localities with more money, more quickly than Byrne grants ever have -
- and for many of the same program areas.
Thus, Mr. Chairman, we want to work with you and other members of the Committee as you consider both
crime legislation and the Administration's budget in the coming months to determine how to best spend and distribute
the significant crime investments
proposed in the Administration's budget. In recent months, the President has visited with the nation's Governors and
Mayors to discuss crime, violence and drugs -- and there is no disagreement between the Administration, states and
cities
- and,
hopefully, Members of Congress -- that we need to get more resources to the state and local level if we are going to
do something about crime and drugs in this country. There is even large agreement on how such resources should be
spent -- across the
spectrum of enforcement and prevention programs. The only question that remains then is: "How do be best get our
anti-crime investment to those on the front lines?" We look forward to working with the Committee on this issue.

Here's what Bruce and I think about the agenda for the DPC meeting:
1 - Have Bentsen lead with the issue of gun imports. It's substantive, new and
represents the meatiest thing we will have ever discussed in the context of a
DPC meeting.
2 - - Have Reno perhaps with help from Bentsen -- talk about the Violent Crime
Initiative just announced.
3 - - Have Brown with possible help from Reno -- talk about the new Drug Courts
bill to be announced. There's not too much to say here since it's a simple
grant program, but it's still worth running through quickly, and Reno will -- no
doubt have something to say about her experience in Miami.
4 - Have Reich lead the discussion on Labor's jobs/prevention piece. Inevitably
this will become a roaving policy discussion on jobs/prevention bitch by
Reich/Shalala/RBrown/Cisneros, but we might as well get it out of the way.
We'll have to do our best to get them to focus on where we are in the
development of the jobs/prevention piece -- and not on how do we re-invent the
crime bill.
Let me know your thoughts and whether or not you think Cabinet Affairs or DPC
should make the calls on this.

As a follow-up to last week's working lunch, this memorandum
outlines the initiatives that the Office of National Drug Control
Policy (ONDCP) can pursue to help highlight the issues of crime
and violence. I have also included a brief discussion of
tentative events on my schedule that might also serve as
opportunities to speak about the Administration's overall
strategy on crime and violence.
I. Policy Initiatives to Consider
A. Drug Courts
The current Drug Court provision included in the Senate
crime bill does not cover the full range of criminal justice drug
treatment opportunities (such as using probation and parole to
promote treatment) that the Administration has publicly embraced.
The Senate bill authorizes a total of $1.2 billion for drug
testing, treatment and alternatives to incarceration, and grants
the Attorney General the coordinating authority to use these
grants to promote Drug Court-type programs. The House has not
passed drug court legislation.
The Attorney General and I have worked with HHS and a group
of Drug Court judges to draft a much more flexible grant program
that will allow the Administration to promote a broader range of
drug court programs. We have shared this language with
Representative Schumer, who along with Representative Craig
Washington would like to introduce and mark-up such a bill on
the Administration's behalf next week.
B. Law Enforcement Technology
ONDCP's Counter-Drug Technology Assessment Center (CTAC) is
designated by statute as the lead agency responsible for
researching and developing drug enforcement technologies for use
by the federal government. It is headed by a Chief Scientist,
who advises me on counter-drug technology issues and chairs the
Drug Control Science and Technology Committee, and I would
recommend that CTAC be given the lead role in developing law
enforcement technology options.
Currently, CTAC is developing
These initiatives
.
could be announced by
or coupled with other proposals
currently being considered by NEC, the Vice President's Office,
or any of the other agencies with technology programs -Commerce,
Justice, Treasury and Transportation.
C. Jobs/Crime Prevention
Although my office only has a small amount of discretionary
funds to contribute to an Administration-wide jobs/prevention
effort (special forfeiture $?), I have been extremely interested
in this topic and would like to play a key role in developing and
promoting such an initiative. As you know, I am especially
interested in an effort that is focused on minority youth.
Before joining the Administration I was developing such an
initiative (the Black Male Initiative) at Texas Southern.
Also, you should be aware that, consistent with the Drug
Strategy's response to the recent drug surveys indicating that
drug use is on the rise among our youth, ONDCP is in the process
of planning a meeting of national prevention experts to discuss
how we can turn this trend around. This national meeting could
be expanded to include violence and highlighted by the White
House as part of its response to Crime, Drugs and Violence.

I have e-mailed the basic text that could be included as part of your Dr.

piece. Perhaps Carnevale can do this when he returns, if we have that much
time. Let me know what other help you might need on this.
Again, I don't think we should worry about this too much if we don't have the

I got your message late, but I think it's fine for Dr. Brown to reference the

other prevention efforts). Also, we can generally say nice things about all of
the prevention measures CDF supports in the crime bill though I'm more
comfortable sticking to Ounce of Prevention. Don't touch their commentary on

I dont' think this is a bad idea - but timing is probably what matters most.
If we do it before knowing whether or not the leadership will proceed with an
omnibus bill that can be amended, it may be a futile exercise because amendments
won't be allowed. But if we wait until the full committee acts, the agencies
may not have sufficient time for their authorizing committees and congressional
patrons to work in changes for them. I'd prefer to err on the side of not
giving them (the agencies) enough time as opposed to meeting with them before
we are prepared to give them any definitive answers.

Chris, et. al.:
Shortly you will recieve a legislative package of prevention initiatives
designed by Labor, Justice and HUD - with consultation from Treasury, Commerce,
HHS, Education and ONDCP. Sorry about the short notice, but pursuant to a
conversation that Reich, Reno and Cisneros had with the President - the
agencies have been working on this initiative for some time, and the decision
has been made to introduce the package tomorrow before the Judiciary
Subcommittees begin to mark-up crime legislation (Wednesday). In fact, a site
has yet to be determined, and logistics are still being worked out with members
of the committee -- but we have to announce the initiative tomorrow or not at
all.
The initiative really includes only one new component a crime
prevention/jobs piece, with the bulk of the initiative being composed of
re-packaged programs in the Senate's crime bill. Justice is currently pulling
together the language submitted by the agencies and will send you a copy for
expedited clearance. The new crime prevention/jobs program will cost $525
million over the next five years, and we will included cuts to the Senate crime
bill to pay for it ($330 million from regional prisons and $210 million from
consolidating programs and eliminating reports and duplicative programs).
Justice will also send these to you.
Again, sorry to send this to you last minute, but this shouldn't be a
clearance problem. The Secretaries have met with Mack, the VP and Carol on this
-- and so, too, have the cheifs of staff and their appropriate staff.

Treasury Department Cracks Down On Chinese-Made Rifle
WASHINGTON (AP) For the second time in as many weeks, the
Treasury Department has cracked down on a type of firearm, in this
case a Chinese-made MAK90 rifle that was designed to get around an
earlier ban on AK-47s.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms found that some of
the weapons were made so they could accept machine-gun components
while others have threaded barrels that would allow attachment of a
silencer or flash suppressor.
``Machine guns cannot be imported except for use by the
government," and a threaded barrel "takes them out of the
category of being suitable for sporting purposes," said agency
spokeswoman Susan McCarron.
The U.S. Customs Service is stopping all shipments at the border
and holding them for inspection, while the ATF wants dealers to
send the MAK90s they have back to the importer.
``ATF is advising the public that anyone who has purchased one
of these rifles in the past few months needs to contact the
supplier or original importer of the weapon," ATF Director John
Magaw said in a statement. "Our intent is to rechannel the rifles
to the importer."
Not all the MAK90s will be kept out of the country or pulled off
gun store shelves, McCarron said.
"We're taking a look at the shipments to see if they're OK,"
McCarron said. ``Last week, we checked a shipment in New York, and
we let it go and said it's OK."
The ATF said thousands of the semiautomatic MAK90 rifles have
been imported in the past few years, and the violations only
started occurring in the past few months.
The MAK90, which retails for $175 to $200, was developed as a
result of the ATF's 1989 ban on imports of dozens of foreign rifles
that it deemed unsuitable for sporting purposes, McCarron said.
The AK-47 was among the weapons banned.
So the Chinese designed the MAK90 as the ``sporterized" version
of the AK-47, but the threaded barrel is not allowed on sporting
weapons, McCarron said.
Twenty-nine importers obtained permits to bring in 2 million of
the guns since January 1993, but the agency has not calculated how
many have been shipped here and how many may still be en route, she
said.
Erich Pratt of Gun Owners of America criticized the opposition
to assault-style weapons, saying, "These guns are not the guns
being used in crime."
``Law-abiding citizens do use these types of weapons that have
the big clips for legitimate reasons like self-defense," he said,
citing store owners who defended their property with guns during
the Los Angeles riots.
Last week, Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen ordered reclassified
as ``destructive devices" three styles of domestically produced
12-gauge shotguns originally designed for riot control in South
Africa and South Korea the Street Sweeper, Striker and USAS.
That ruling required owners of the 18,000 guns to register with
the firearms agency and be fingerprinted, photographed and
certified by local law enforcement as lawful owners of the weapons.
Failure to do so could lead to a maximum penalty of 10 years in
prison and a $250,000 fine.
