We have made a difference in the lives of people and changed the course for many individuals -- youth and adult -- to a path that leads to wellness, healthy living, and productivity. When you tackle something as complex as substance abuse and the crime and violence that it involves, you realize that what we are really doing is attempting to change beliefs and behavior. This, of course, is a monumental task; but we are succeeding. We are succeeding because parents and teachers care; policymakers and legislators care; health and human services people care; community, religious, law enforcement, and business people care. Our success, though, depends on keeping up the momentum we have built over the past eight years. We can not become comfortable with our accomplishments and let any of our efforts slide, Now is the time to move forward and push harder to strengthen the foundation we have laid down. 301 W.

METRO 565-0450 GOVERNOR'S .. ~ DRUG& ALCOHOL ABUSE COMMISSION WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER GOVERNOR THE HONORABLE JOSEPH A. CIOTOLA CHAIRMAN FLOYD O. POND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Governor: I am pleased to submit the 1994 Maryland's Drug and Alcohol Abuse Control Plan, which represents the state's comprehensive strategy to reduce the substance abuse and drug-related crime and violence problem in Maryland. This year's plan chronicles the work undertaken by the Governor's Drug and Alcohol Abuse Commission since its creation by Executive Order in 1989 and addresses major issues that point the way for future direction. As the work unfolded over the years for the Commission, the challenges and the scope of the problem also evolved. I am especiallY impressed by the degree of collaboration and cooperation the Commission has fostered among state agencies and many other organizations and groups involved in the fight against sUbstance abuse and by the successes of the various partnerships that have been formed. The key to success lies in people working together. This theme is reflected throughout the entire plan. I am proud to have been a part of this team effort and want to acknowledge the citizens, community leaders, agency people, youth, business people, and staff who are responsible for the hard work that has gone into this undertaking. Their commitment and dedication deserves the highest praise. We are making progress, that's the good news. continued success remains the challenge for the future. Sincerely, 300 E.
