Office of National Drug Control Policy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), a component of the Executive Office of the President of the United States, was established in 1988 by the Anti-Drug Abuse Act. In December 2002, the Marijuana Policy Project, filed a complaint with the Nevada Secretary of State accusing the Drug Czar John Walters of illegally campaigning against its 2002 ballot initiative to decriminalize possession of up to 3 ounces of cannabis in that state. ONDCP supporters such as Congressman Tom Davis and Mark Edward Souder have dismissed such criticism on the grounds that the ONDCP is expressly authorized by law to conduct anti-drug media campaigns. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/ONDCP   (830 words)

Press Briefing by Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy General Barry Mccaffrey (1/4/01) And yet, the National Institute of Drug Abuse, Dr. Leshner, is assuring us that science-based examination suggests that this drug may have permanent impairment of neurochemical function of the brain, never mind the possibility of dropping dead the first time you use it. He came over from the National Institute of Drug Abuse to join me. He is a Harvard trained public health professional, a physician, a psychiatrist, and his principal contribution is to raise the aggregate IQ in ONDCP. This is a drug with devastating implications and potential in its impact on young Americans, who may be using it to get that slightly ripped look, who think it's going to improve their chance of being selected for Little League baseball or high school diving or track. clinton5.nara.gov /library/hot_briefings/January_4_2001.html   (5605 words)

Drug Control: Reauthorization of the Office of National Drug Control Policy \7 Drug Control: Reauthorization of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (GAO/GGD-93-144, Sept. 29, 1993). GAO focuses on (1) its recent work on federal drug control efforts; (2) the Office's efforts to implement performance measures; (3) the Office's anticipated efforts to lead the development of a centralized lessons-learned data system for drug control activities; and (4) whether the Office, which is scheduled to expire in September 1997, should be reauthorized. ONDCP's initial effort, with a private contractor, did not prove fruitful, and, in the summer of 1996, it began a new effort involving working groups composed of representatives from federal drug control agencies and state, local, and private organizations. www.druglibrary.org /Schaffer/govpubs/gao/gao39.htm   (3110 words)

Gen. Barry McCaffrey, director, White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, statement, November 15, 1999 However, the ever expanding nexus between guerrilla movements, or in some cases, paramilitary groups, and international drug trafficking organizations is creating an unprecedented threat to the rule of law, democratic institutions, and the very fabric of society -- as clearly illustrated by yesterday's bombing. President Andres Pastrana's election to office and subsequent agenda, Plan Colombia -- the broad national strategy designed to return Colombia to the path of democracy and peaceful civil society -- have offered new hope for prosperity and an end to the country's civil unrest. Colombia's ability to respond to the exploding drug threat is hindered by interlocking economic, political, social, and security challenges. www.ciponline.org /colombia/00111502.htm   (369 words)

Remarks Secretary Paige at The Office of National Drug Control Policy Drug Testing Summit The best weapon we all have is information and knowledge—use the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools and the Office of National Drug Control Policy as a resource as you each craft a plan to combat this problem.

Drug Control Office Faulted For Issuing Fake News Tapes (washingtonpost.com) Although television stations knew the materials were produced by the Office of National Drug Control Policy, there was nothing in the two-minute, prepackaged reports that would indicate to viewers that they came from the government or that Morris, a former journalist, was working under contract for the government. When that opinion was released, officials at the drug control office decided to stop the practice, spokesman Thomas A. Riley said. The drug control agency distributed at least seven prepackaged news reports to 770 TV stations. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/articles/A54651-2005Jan6.html   (704 words)

American Demographics: A Dubious Pitch - analysis of White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy advertising campaign Prior to airing, the ONDCP ran its campaign past focus groups and found that vast majorities of 'tweens and teens said it significantly reduced their intent to use drugs, while parents said it gave them new ways to discuss the subject with their kids, de Vallance said. Use of illicit drugs has remained generally flat, from highs of 38.5 percent and 42.4 percent in 1997, the year before the ONDCP campaign began, to 37.2 percent and 41.4 percent last year. But dissent from official policy is not, as the pat reactionary response usually has it, the advocacy of cocaine or ecstasy use, but rather valid scrutiny of how taxpayer money is most efficiently spent. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m4021/is_2002_May_1/ai_88679448   (1307 words)
