THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN
SUGGESTED REMARKS: CONCLUSION OF NEW YORK DRUG TRIP
Seven weeks ago I established the Office for Drug Abuse Law
Enforcement under the direction of Myles J. Ambrose. I have
today seen the first fruits of the enforcement effort being conducted
under Mr. Ambrose, and I am encouraged. I think the results I
have seen here today confirm two things -- first, my belief that the
war on drug trafficking must be coordinated at a single source -
the new office under Mr. Ambrose -- and second, that it must rely
on close cooperation between government at the Federal level, the
State level, and the local level. We have coordination and we have
cooperation, and we are going forward.

I said last June that drug abuse was public enemy number one.
I determined that we would go after it with all the urgency that such
a public enemy demands. This means a heavy commitment of time,
energy and money. Here in New York State, as I have just witnessed
today, the largest single grant of the Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration (LEAA) has allowed this State to set up 12 special
courts to concentrate on wiping out the traffick in narcotics. Nationally,
the Federal commitment to drug abuse prevention, treatment, rehabili-
tation, and law enforcement will come to $475 million this fiscal year
