Memberspresent:RepresentativesCharlesRangel, James Scheuer, William Hughes, Solomon Ortiz, Edolphus Towns, Nita Lowey, Lawrence Coughlin, Benjamin Gilman, Michael Oxley, James Sensenbrenner, Tom Lewis, Wally Herger, Bill Paxon, and Bill Grant. Staff present: Edward H. Jurith, staff director; Elliott A. Brown, minority staff director; James Alexander, professional staff; Rich- ard Baum, minority professional staff; Austin R.

Young, minority professional staff. Chairman RANGEL. Mr. Secretary, I apologize butwe had a vote, not too important, but a voteon the journal on the floor. The Select Narcotics Committee willcome to order as we continue to review the Federal strategy for drug abuse education. Several weeks ago, the select committee met privately withour distinguished Secretary of Education. At that time, he agreedto appear before the committee to outline publicly the strategy that his department is pursuing to educateour Nation's youth against the dangers of drugs. Mr. Secretary, we certainly welcomeyou back. Until today, Sec- retary Kemp, the Secretary of HUD, has been the only other Cabi- net member to testify before our committee in order to discuss what the national drug strategy is, and he shared withus his plans to rid public housi_ig of the scourge of drugs. We commend you for your understanding andyour sensitivity to the drug problem, not just to chemical dependence, but in recogniz- ing that children have to live in a drug-free environment in order to reach their full potential in terms of education. Some of us, not all on this committee, believe thatwe should not be waiting for the Drug Director, Secretary Bennett, to reveal his broad drug policy. Some ofus believe that we created this position (I 2 for the Secretary to coordinate the drug policies as the leaders of our Nation's Cabinet positions would enunciate them. So, we had thought that the Secretary of Health and Human Services would have a plan for drug abuse treatment, and the Secretary of Educa- tion for education, and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Devel- opment for eliminating drugs from public housing. Then the coordi- nator would try to share with us what is working, what is not working. In any event, it appears to this member that whatever policies we have, they have been put on hold, waiting for Secretary Bennett to share with us the tablet that he's going to bring to us from on top of the mountain. But, in the Congress, in the 1986 and 1988 Antidrug Abuse Acts, we thought that we had some ideas. We don't take pride in author- ship of those ideas. Many of us felt that although the previous ad- ministration thought of these problems as local and State in nature, we thought they were national and important. Most of them, I think, were good ideas. Some were bad ideas, but that's for the Cabinet officials to evaluate as they relate to their depart- ments, and single out those that work, ask that we revoke and change those that are not working, but, more important than any- thing else, to come forward with their own ideas as to what role their departments will play, or are playing, in this war against drugs. We can't win this beating up on the Mexicans, and the Peruvi- ans, and the Bolivians, even though we hope that we will illicit narcotics production involved in our foreign policy. We win this war calling out the Marines, even though we hope the art- ment of Defense will share their technology to protect our skies and our borders from the intrusions of drug smuggling ships and planes. We can't win it just in Housing and Urban Development, Education, and treatment, but together I am confident that we have the resources in this great Nation, once we engage our gener- als in the Cabinet to support the President as he declares war, to win. So, Mr. Secretary, we welcome your presence here to share with us the strategy that you have for your department in leading this Nation in the area of education, so that our children one day can hope that we can live in a drug-free society.

  • New York Congressman CHARLES RANGEL
    New York Congressman CHARLES RANGEL, Chairman of the Select Committee on Nar- cotics Abuse and Control, is one of the strongest opponents to the legalization or decriminalization of the sale and use of illegal drugs in America today. Traffickers involved in the production, sale, and use of marijuana, cocaine and heroin probably view Congressman Rangel as the enemy. During a recent appearance on an ABC Television network special on the legalization of drugs hosted by Nightline'sTed Koppel, Rangel vigorously challenged the proponents of legalization. Elected to a ninth term, Rangel, a former U.S. Attorney, represents the largest black Congressional district in the country including the neighborhoods of East and Central Harlem and the upper West Side. He is also a member of the powerful House Ways & Means Committee and is a Deputy Whip for the House Democratic Leadership. Congressman Rangel lives in New York with his wife, Alma, and their two children. (over) MS. CLARA LOPEZ OBREGON is President of the City Council of Bogota, Colombia. The first woman to hold that position, she is one of the most prominent women in Colombian politics. Since the declaration of the "war on drugs", Americans are increasingly aware of the intimate link between drug use in the U.S. and drug production in Colombia. Lopez is deeply concerned about the drug related violence and human rights violations facing citizens in both countries. Aware that her outspoken criticism has placed her on a number of hit lists in Colombia, she continues to confront the issue. Ms. Lopez is a graduate of Harvard University and has served as a Special Assistant for Economic Affairs to the President of Colombia.
