MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
DON BAER
MICHAEL WALDMAN
JONATHAN PRINCE .
SUBJECT:
Address to students of Eleanor Roosevelt High School, and remarks to
participants in White House Conference on Youth Drug Use and Violence
Attached is a proposed outline for Thursday's address at Eleanor Roosevelt High
School. The current plan is for you to deliver remarks to a large auditorium of high school
students and then to join the panel of experts discussing combined public and private efforts
to fight youth drugs and violence.
We suggest you focus your remarks to the high school students on drug abuse, and
reserve most of the discussion on gangs and violence for New Haven on March 16. You
will be joined by General McCaffrey and the Vice President. You can frame the conference
with a statement about what all Americans, especially young people, must do in our own
lives to eliminate the plague of drug use. The tone should be personal and impassioned,
addressed directly to the students.

PRESIDENT WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON
ROUNDTABLE WITH CONFERENCE PARTICIPANTS
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL
MARCH 6, 1996
•
Thank you all for coming today. I'm glad to have had the chance to meet all of you
last night, and I'm looking forward to our discussion today. I know you heard what I
said to the students in the gymnasium -- young people like the ones here at Eleanor
Roosevelt are the reason we are all here today. Drug use and violence are down in
every segment of our society except one-- among our young people. We must tum
this around.
•
The message I sent the students of Eleanor Roosevelt High School, to stay away
from drugs and violent activity, is one that needs to be reinforced over and over and
over again. I know that all of you are the ones who do that, day in and day out, and
I thank you for all your hard work.
•
I often say there is nothing wrong with America that someone in this great country
hasn't already come up with a solution to. That's why this conference is so important
-- because it brings all of you together -- to share your ideas and thoughts, what
works and what doesn't.
•
I am proud of the efforts this administration has made to stop drugs and violence in
this country. In the last three years we have tried to take many concrete steps to
protect our children and their future. I am proud to have with me today our nation's
new Drug Czar, General Barry McCaffrey, who was sworn in just yesterday.
Accomplishments:
Crime Bill - toughest and smartest ever, provides resources for communities to take guns off
the street and put cops on the street. Puts 100,000 new cops on the street -- we're one-third
of the way there, on-time and under budget; bans 19 deadly assault weapons; Brady Bill has
already stopped over 60,000 criminals from purchasing guns.
Safe and Drug Free Schools - provides funds to over 97% of the school districts to keep
violence, drugs and alcohol away from students and out schools. Congress tried to cut it and
I vetoed their attempt.
Zero Tolerance - signed act which requires states to_ adopt a zero-tolerance standard for
alcohol use for drivers under 21.
Drug Testing - Supported testing of high school athletes before the Supreme Court. Working
to break cycle of drugs and crime through drug courts and the universal testing of federal
arrestees.
Tobacco - taking steps to end the massive marketing and advertising of tobacco to children.
�School Uniforms -Promote discipline and order. Department of Education released manual
on school uniform policy.
Dismantled Cali Cartel - Stiffened penalties for drug crimes - three strikes you're out; death
penalty.
•
As much as any other social problem, we have only made progress in the fight against
drugs due to the efforts of private citizens -- efforts you have led. From the leaders
of the national organizations to the founders of initiatives at the local level -- all of
you know the power that a strong, consistent anti-drug message has on our children.
And because of all your work in spreading this message, we are getting through-- but
we must continue the drumbeat.
•
Today's conference is an important step in the fight against the scourge of drugs and
violence in our society. I'd like to thank all of you for being here, and I look
forward to reading the reports of your breakout sessions later in the day.
Now I'd like to hear from you. [Invite Joe Califano, Center on Addiction and
Substance Abuse, to speak]
�- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And we are also working to crack down on
advertising campaigns that convince young people
smoking is cool. It isn't.
3,000 young people start smoking every day, and
1, 000 of them will die early as a result of smoking
related diseases. Don't let that happen to you. If you
don't smoke -- good for you; don't ever start. And if
you have started -·- stop today. It may be the best thing
you ever do for yourself.

IDEAS FOR,.POTUS SPEECII RE:. PHARMACf;UTlCAL PROJECT
Tho increasing number of mixed messages about drug use thct our
children receive from their en~ironment today have made it
~oughsr some k1as ~o rema~n drug free.
Nothing ~& simple or
clear out. On one hand, prevent:1on programs tell our youngsters
to stay away from drugs and most parents try to communicate this
message 'Lo their chil<lren. Because of programs like Safe and
Drug Free Sohoole, teachers and counselors do their best to
orevent alcohol and drug uae.
,;..
On the other hand, it sometimes seems liko we have a sooioty that
is trylng to normalize a drug culture. Music, movies, television.
clothing a.nd even t:oy companies are with inoreaaing frequency
glamorizing or promoting the u3e ot drugs or ~rea~ing it as
harmless tun. The promotars of popular culture are dolng this.
One company based in San Franclsco even profito £rom selling
Baseball Card-like trading cards to kids Promoting marijuana use.
Well, r say enough is enough. To greatly raduce drug use in this
country we nead to have some basic normative change: get back to
the values that: put people and children above profit:. corporato
und business leaders have a ChOice. They ean either be part of
rne problem or part of the eolution.
I am pleased to tell you
about: how one industry wAn~s to contribute to the ~olut1on.
R~~P.~rch tells ug what we know from common experience: when moat
people want health intorrnation they go to their family doctor.
Thi!:i profc3siorial is the individual most people go to when they
have a que~t1on.
However, we also know that physicians are not
as well ~1.·a1u~d in these issues As they need to be. The NEW YORK

PRESIDENT WILLIAM J. CLINTON
ADDRESS TO STUDENTS OF ELEANOR ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL
GREENBELT, MARYLAND
MARCH 7, 1996
Good morning. I'm very happy to be here. I want to thank everyone at Eleanor
Roosevelt High School for welcoming us today, and for hosting our White House Conference
on Youth, Drugs, and Violence. After I speak with you, I'm going to join the conference.
But I wanted to come here first, because this conference is about you. It's about making
your families stronger and your future brighter.
You probably don't think about it this way very often, but the older you get, the more
you'll find that different roles in your life bring different responsibilities and different.
perspectives with them. You have responsibilities as high school students, as sons and
daughters --and you probably have different responsibilities as somebody's best friend,
maybe· somebody's older brother or sister.
·
( tLike all of you, I don't have just one set of responsibilities, or one perspective on~
things. 1 So this morning, I want to speak to you as President and the head of our
·
government, but I also want to speak to you as a member of our American community. And
I want to speak to you as a father with a daughter in high school.
__
/~~1 ~
As head of government I want to ~ abo~t what we have to ~to~~er, to create
·
opportunity for young people, and to k p you safe. As a communi~ want to talk
about how people can come togeth from all walks of life -- from large corporations and
small businesses, schools, urc ~s and synagogues o private citizens -- to do things
government cannot -- and should not -- o on its own. And as a father and concerned adult,
I want to talk about what all Americans must do in their own lives to take personal
responsibility for their future.
challenges to face and
The future before you is nearly limitless -- but we do-hav
_.,;
overcome so o
I believe America must face seve great challenges as we
-/~ ~ future. I talked about them m me ~rare ~· We have to strengthen
l ,__-------our families; proVlae better education for an~ce the economic security of
working families; protect our environment; maintain our world leadership for peace and
freedom; and continue to make our government work better.
1
�~~
And we must relentlessly fig t a
e crime and gangs and drugs that destroys ;t.A~
lives and threatens our way of life.
is morning I want to talk especially about the danger cr-t.
of drug abuse. In the last few years, even as overall drug use in America has dropped, there 5 ~
has been a frightening increase in drug abuse by people your age. And at the same time
usage has gone up, belief that drugs are dangerous has gone down.
\.(/~.1
J,. ".
Let me be perfectly clear: Anyone who thinks drugs aren't dangerous is one hundre<t>~
percent wrong. Drugs are deadly. They destroy your minds and ruin your bodies; they will
~-1
. steal your future, and they may very well steal your life. And the danger doesn't only come
~
from the drugs themselves -- wherever you find drug abuse, you can bet the world you'll
JJ
find crime and violence following soon after. Those who think we should throw in the towel
and just make drugs legal are dead wrong. That would be bad for our families, and bad for
~"'
our country.
2
Y:r
-\vr
The reason we're holding this conference at Roosevelt instead of some hotel or
government building is simple: The students, teachers, and parents of Eleanor Roosevelt
High School are doing a remarkable job fighting drugs and violence. Drugs and violence ·
aren't a perfect stranger here, but this community has come togethe o send them pac.l\J-LlCJ::jH-_
And the way you're doing it is a good lesson for all Americans.
~
You are pulling together as a community, creating opportunit:;y~an~d~d~e~m~an~;l;;_~~~=--.:.r ponsibility. Roosevelt has a strong extracurricular program that gives young people
something to say yes to. At the same time, your disciplinary policy makes it clear that
illegal behavior which puts other children at risk will not be tolerated. Students, parents,
teachers, business leaders -- you've all taken responsibility to fight back. Everybody is
doing their part. That's the only way to stem the tide of drugs and violence. It's the wa
we have to fight all our problems.
-:p-~
(-5
1
The era of big government is over-- we can't solve the drug pr~m from
Washington and we can't stamp out youth violence just by passing law . We must do our
part; we should never tum a deaf ear and leave you to fend for yourselv . But make no
mistake about it: In the end, the fight agains!J,lrugs-wiH--be-wo ·
m, in your hoines,
and in families like yours across me~
ch of us has our own role to
plal~~nities, families, individuals.
Government has a responsibility to help Americans feel secure in their homes, on
their streets, and in our .schools. The Crime Bill we fought for in 1994 is helping to put
100,000 more police officers on local streets. We banned 19 deadly assault weapons, and
we're fighting Republican attempts to repeal it. We passed the Brady Bill to require a 5 day
waiting period for background checks on people who want to buy handguns. We passed
three-strikes:...you're out to put the most dangerous criminals behind bars for life without
parole, and we expanded the death penalty. We are fighting against domestic violence to
protect women from brutal abuse.
The Crime Bill is helping thousands of schools to fight drugs and violence: with drug2
�education, gang-prevention, metal detectors, and increased security. It helps support schoolbased education programs, like D.A.R.E. 'Fn'USLp~ork. I saw them work in the
schools when my daughter participated in one. We made it a federal crime for any person
under the age of 18 to carry a handgun except when supervised by an adult. Last year I
fought for a law requiring states to expel any student who brings a gun to school for one
year. No excuses. You have zero tolerance guns at Roosevelt and we should have zero
tolerance for guns in every school in Am~rica.
We're working to get drugs and guns and crime out of our schools for good. We
have to do more. That's why I'm proud that General Barry McCaffrey agreed to lead the
battle against drugs as Drug Czar. General McCaffrey fought in Vietnam and in the Gulf
War. He is a real life hero. But I'll tell you something: General McCaffrey will never win
the fight against drugs and violence without the help of all Americans.
Just as government has its role to play, people in our communities must come
together and fight this together. That's what Grad Night is all about. Your parents know that
peer pressure to use drugs and alcohol, always strong, is especially intense on graduation
night. They also know that when you graduate high school you want to celebrate your
achievement . .A "' ~.

So they got together to throw you an 1-night party. You come to school at 11:00,
give your keys and bags to your parents, load up the buses and you don't come back until six
in the morning. You spend the night swimming and playing basketball, eating all kinds of
food, dancing; you even have a chance to win a car. Last year, there were 622 seniors. 597
showed up to celebrate ..The federal government could never throw you a graduation party as
exciting -- and safe -- as the one your parents put together with the help of this community.
~
UJ~
That's the kind of community spirit and commitment we need across this country.
I'm very happy to announce today that the leaders of a major American industry, working
with the Drug Czar's office, have come together to do their part.
We know that the fight against youth drug abuse must begin at home. We also know
that many parents don't always recognize the warning signs of drug abuse, and are unsure
how to approach their children when they do. So what can we do about this? On its own,
the government can't do that much. But working with · business and with local doctors,
1
c
·
•
America can do a lot.
~VI.
I
We know that when people need health advice they tum to their family doctor.
we know that the pharmaceutical industry sends sales representatives to every doctor's office
in the country.
I am proud to announce that 15 major pharmaceutical companies are launching a $33
Million campaign to put drug education material in the hands of 400,000 doctors. The
pharmaceutical companies will use their considerable marketing savvy to develop materials
that help parents -- and doctors -- recognize warning signs, and teach them what to do about
it. They will use their vast distribution system -- 17,000 sales reps -- to put these materials
3
�------------------------------------------~,.
in doctor's hands. Doctors will be better educated themselves, and they will be better
prepared to help parents help their children. This is businesses helping families, and it will
make a huge difference. I applaud the pharmaceutical companies for their leadership, and I
hope others will follow their example. l t lA <t,
-~
But like everything we do to fight drugs, without personal responsibility on the part of .
DP every American, this effort will never succeed. Parents must teach children right and wrong./
1)o Parents must punish children --and high school students-- when they cross the line.
/
Parents must get involved. an~ stay involved in your education. .Parents should provide a . /
9':..,~ constant drumbeat for theu kids: Drugs are not safe, drugs are Illegal, drugs wdl put you lh
@ ~ ~1, drugs may cost you your life. And parents had better set a good example.

.
'But in the end, it--Ml oomes down to you. No government program, no community
- to"<'"~ ~. ~ k.u (,..;. (;~ rr--L
o~,f't'
~nership, no threat of punishment will keep drugs out of your hands if you set out to fmd
them. You are old enough to know the difference between right and wrong,. and you are old
enough that sooner or later someone's going to ask you to choose.
I'm sure that many of you have been pressured to d~o~.wp,.~efore, and I'm sure it
probably
will happen again. And I know when I tell you to
think, "That's easy for him to say."
.
e pressure can be
incredible. But as incredible as the pressure · , lic-t~~~c_US_.IJ..l.C:I.I.--Httl{"~J
You have to look within yourself. You have to think about what kind of future you
want to have. I meant it when I said that your future is nearly limitless. If you work hard
enough, it can be just about anything you want to make it. But if you give them a chance,
drugs will snatch your future from you before you know what's happening. And don't fool
yourself. Don't think that you'll be different. Drugs are deadly. They don't discriminate,
they don't care who you are, and they will ruin your life if you let them into it.
So some Saturday night when it seems easy to go along with the crowd-- don't. No
matter how cool the kids who use drugs seem to be, the truth is they aren't cool at all. You
have to be stronger than they are. You have to tell them if they want to be your friends,
they shouldn't use drugs. If they don't listen, you have to be strong enough to walk away.
-,
I know that sometimes it seems adults spend more time talking about kids who
g
ble than kids who don't. So I want say to the millions of young people in 1
A~ and all of you here, who avoid drugs, who don't drink: You are doing the right
thing. Don't doubt it for a moment. Your parents and teachers are incredibly proud of you.
I am proud of you.·
~
You keep saying, "No" to drugs. Stay away from folks who think drugs and guns are
cool. They're not your friends. I will keep doing everything in my power to make and keep
our schools safe. Together, we will make sure that you have a chance to live the incredible
future you deserve.
Thank you and God bless you all.

But the danger is worse.
2. You have to look within yourself. You have to think about what kind of future
you want to have. You have to remember that no matter how cool the kids who
use drugs seem to be, the truth is they aren't cool at all. You have to be stronger
than they are. You have to tell them if they want to be your friends, they
shouldn't use drugs. And if they don't listen, you have to be strong enough to

PRESIDENT WILLIAM J. CLINTON
ADDRESS TO STUDENTS OF ELEANOR ROOSEVELT IDGH SCHOOL
GREENBELT, MARYLAND
MARCH 7, 1996
Good morning. I'm very happy to be here. I want to thank everyone at Eleanor
Roosevelt High School for welcoming us today, and for hosting our White House Conference
on Youth, Drugs, and Violence. After I speak with you, I'm going to join the conference.
But I wanted to come here first, because this conference is about you. It's about making
your families stronger and your future brighter.
You probably don't think about it this way very often, but the older you get, the more
you'll fmd that different roles in your life bring different responsibilities and different
perspectives with them. You have responsibilities as high school students, as sons and
daughters-- and you probably have different responsibilities as somebody's best friend,
maybe somebody's older brother or sister.
Like all of you, I don't have just one set of responsibilities, or one perspective on
things. So this morning, I want to speak to you as President and the head of our
government, but I also want to speak to you as a member of our American community. And
I want to speak to you as a father with a daughter in high school.
As head of government I want to talk about what we have to do together, to create
opportunity for young people, and to keep you safe. As a community leader I want to talk
about how people can come tog~~_p-og}:._.~l1.~~~~9f life-- from large corporations and
small businesses, schools, ehu~es att~s~es, to private citizens -- to do things
government cannot -- and should not -- do on its own. And as a father and concerned adult,
I want to talk about what all Americans must do in their own lives to take personal
responsibility for their future.
In January, when I delivered the State of the Union Address, I talked about the
enormous age of possibility we live in today. Your generation is poised to reap its greatest
benefits. My generation has to learn about the computer age as it unfolds. You're growing
up in it. We had to get used to instant communications around the world. It's second nature
to you. You are better prepared to make the most of this age of possibility than anyone else.
You will have more chances to live exciting, prosperous, and rewarding lives than any
generation in history. You will be able to do things and accomplish things that your parents
and grandparents never imagined.
The future before you is nearly limitless -- but w~ do have real challenges to face and
overcome so you can get there. I believe America must face seven great challenges as we
move into the future. I talked about them in the State of the Union. We have to strengthen
our families; provide better education for all Americans; enhance the economic security of
working families; protect our environment; maintain our world leadership for peace and
freedom; and continue to make our government work better.

of drug abuse! In the last few years, even as overall drug use in America has dropped, there
has been a frightening increase in drug abuse by people your age. And at the same time
usage has gone up, belief that drugs are dangerous has gone down.
Let me be perfectly clear: Anyone who thinks drugs aren't dangerous is one hundred
percent wrong. Drugs are deadly. They destroy your minds and ruin your bodies; they will
steal your future, and they may very well steal your life. And the danger doesn't only come
from the drugs themselves -.., wherever you find drug abuse, you can bet the world you'll
find crime and violence following soon after. Those who think we should throw in the towel
and just make drugs legal are dead wrong. That would be bad for our families, and bad for
our country.

The reason we're holding this conference at Roosevelt instead of some hotel or
government building is simple: The students, teachers, and parents of Eleanor Roosevelt
High School are doing a remarkable job fighting drugs and violence. Drugs and violence .
aren't a perfect stranger here, but this community has come together to send them packing.
And the way you're doing it is a good lesson for all Americans.
You are pulling together as a community, creating opportunity and demanding
responsibility. Roosevelt has a strong extracurricular program that gives young people
something to say yes to. At the same time, your disciplinary policy makes it clear that
illegal behavior which puts other children at risk will not be tolerated. Students, parents,
teachers, business leaders -- you've all taken responsibility to fight back. Everybody is
doing their part. That's the only way to stem the tide of drugs and violence. It's the way
we have to fight all our problems.

Each of us has our own role to play: government, communities, families, individuals.
vfW\~ Cf+) &NI. q- q)t> ~
Government has a responsibility to help Americans feel secure in their homes, on
their streets, and in our schools. The Crime Bill we fought for in 1994 is helping to put
100,000 more police officers on local streets. We banned 19 deadly assault weapons, and
we're fighting Republican attempts to repeal it. We passed the Brady Bill to require a 5 day
waiting period for background checks on people who want to buy handguns. We passed
three-strikes-you're out to put the most dangerous criminals behind bars for life without
parole, and we expanded the death penalty. We are fighting against domestic violence to
protect women from brutal abuse.
The Crime Bill is helping thousands of schools to fight drugs and violence: with drug2
�education, gang-prevention, metal detectors, and increased security. It helps support schoolbased education programs, like D.A.R.E. Those programs work. I saw them work in the
schools when my daughter participated in one. We made it a federal crime for any person
under the age of 18 to carry a handgun except when supervised by an adult. Last year I
fought for a law requiring states to expel any student who brings a gun to school for one
year. No excuses. You have zero tolerance gun~t Roosevelt and we should have zero
tolerance for guns in every school in America.
~ fO tL
We're working to get drugs and guns and crime out of our schools for good. We
have to do more. That's why I'm proud that General Barry McCaffrey agreed to lead the
battle against drugs as Drug Czar. General McCaffrey fought in Vietnam and in the Gulf
War. He is a real life hero. But I'll tell you something: General McCaffrey will never win
the fight against drugs and violence without the help of all Americans.
Just as government has its role to play, people in our communities must come
together and fight this together. That's what Grad Night is all about. Your parents know that
peer pressure to use drugs and alcohol, always strong, is especially intense on graduation
night. They also know that when you graduate high school you want to celebrate your
achievement.
l~
t vJ w'l \)\\_.-

--·--
So they got together to throw you an all-night party. You come to school at 11:00,
give your keys and bags to your parents, load up the buses and you don't come back until six
in the morning. You spend the night swimming and playing basketball, eating all kinds of
food, dancing; you even have a chance to win a car. Last year, there were 622 seniors. 597
showed up to celebrate. The federal government could never throw you a graduation party as
exciting -- and safe -- as the one your parents put together with the help of this community.
That's the kind of community spirit and commitment we need across this country.
I'm very happy to announce today that the leaders of a major American industry, working
with the Drug Czar's office, have come together to do their part.
We know that the fight against youth drug abuse must begin at home. We also know
that many parents don't always recognize the warning signs of drug abuse, and are unsure
how to approach their children when they do. So what can we do about this? On its own,
the government can't do that much. But working with big business and with local doctors,
America can do a lot.
We know that when people need health advice they tum to their family doctor. And
we know that the pharmaceutical industry sends sales representatives to every doctor's office
in the country.
I am proud to announce that 15 major pharmaceutical companies are launching a $33
Million campaign to put drug education material in the hands of 400,000 doctors. The
pharmaceutical companies will use their considerable marketing savvy to develop materials
that help parents -- and doctors -- recognize warning signs, and teach them what to do about
it. They will use their vast distribution system -- 17,000 sales reps -- to put these materials
3
�~-
'
in doctor's hands. Doctors will be better educated themselves, and they will be better
prepared to help parents· help their children. This is businesses helping families, and it will
make a huge difference. I applaud the pharmaceutical companies for their leadership, and I
hope others will follow their example.
But like everything we do to fight drugs, without personal responsibility on the part of
every American, this effort will never succeed. Parents must teach children right and wrong.
Parents must punish children -- and high school students -- when they cross the line.
Parents must get involved and stay involved in your education. Parents should provide a
constant drumbeat for their kids: Drugs are not safe, drugs are illegal, drugs will put you in
jail, drugs may cost you your life. And parents had better set a good example.
. l')q;A-1\- ~~
But in the end, it all comes down to you. No government program, no community
partnership, no threat of punishment will keep drugs out of your hands if you set out to find
them; You are old enough to ktiow the difference between right and wrong, and you are old
eno1:1gh that sooner or later someone' s going to ask you to choose.
I'm sure that many of you have been pressured to do drugs before, and I'm sure it
will happen again. And I know when I tell you to say no, some of you probably
think, "That's easy for him to say." Beli~ I know it-isn~~The pressure can be
incredible. But as incredible as the pressure is, the danger is that much worse.
You have to look within yourself. You have to think about what kind of future you
want to have. I meant it when I said that your future is nearly limitless. If you work hard
enough, it can be just about anything you want to make it. But if you give them a chance,
drugs will snatch your future from you before you know what's happening. And don't fool
yourself. Don't think that you'll be different. Drugs are deadly. They don't discriminate,
they don't care who you are, and they will ruin your life if you let them into it.
So some Saturday night when it seems easy to go along with the crowd-- don't. No
matter how cool the kids who use drugs seem to be, the truth is they aren't cool at all. You
have to be stronger than they are. You have to tell them if they want to be your friends,
they shouldn't use drugs. If they don't listen, you have to be strong enough to walk away.
Now, I know that sometimes it seems adults spend more time talking about kids who
get into trouble than kids who don't. So 1 want say to the millions of young people in
America, and all of you here, who avoid drugs, who don't drink: You are doing the right
thing. Don't doubt it for a moment. Your parents and teachers are incredibly proud of you.
l am proud of you.
You keep saying, "No". to drugs. Stay away from folks who think drugs and guns are
cool. They're not your friends. I will keep doing everything in my power to make and keep
our schools safe. Together, we will make sure that you have a chance to live the incredible
future you deserve.
Thank you and God bless you all.

PRESIDENT WILLIAM J. CLJNTON
ADDRESS TO STUDENTS OF ELEANOR ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL
GREENBELT, MARYLAND
MARCH 7, 1996
Good morning. I'm very happy to be here. I want to thank everyone at Eleanor
Roosevelt High School for welcoming us today, and for hosting our White House Conference
on Youth, Drugs, and Violence. After I speak with you, I'm going to join the conference.
But I wanted to come here first, because your future is the reason we're here.
You probably don't think about it this way very often, but the older you get, the more
you'll find that different roles in your life bring different responsibilities and different
perspectives with them. You have responsibilities as high school students, as sons and
daughters --and you probably have different responsibilities as somebody's best friend,
maybe somebody's older brother or sister.
Like all of you, I don't have just one set of responsibilities, or one perspective on
things. So this morning, I want to speak to you as President and the head of our·
government, but I also want to speak to you as a member of our American community. And
I want to speak to you as a father with a daughter in high school.
As head of government I want to talk about what we have to do together, to create
opportunity for young people, and to keep you safe. As a community leader I want to talk
about how people can come together from all walks of life -- from large corporations and
small businesses, schools, churches and synagogues, to private citizens -- to do things
government cannot -- and should not -- do on its own. And as a father and concerned adult,
I want to talk about what all Americans must do in their own lives to take personal
responsibility for their future.
In January, when I delivered the State of the Union Address, I talked about the
enormous age of possibility we live in today. Your generation is poised to reap its greatest
benefits. My generation has to learn about the computer age as it unfolds. You're growing
up in it. We had to get used to instant communications around the world. It's second nature
to you. You are better prepared to make the most of this age of possibility than anyone else.
You will have more chances to live exciting, prosperous, and rewarding lives than any
generation in history. You will be able to do things and accomplish things that your parents
and grandparents never imagined.
The future before you is nearly limitless -- but we do have real challenges to face and
overcome so you can get there. I believe America must face seven great challenges as we
move into the future. I talked about them in the State of the Union. We have to strengthen
our families; provide better education for all Americans; enhance the economic security of
working families; protect our environment; maintain our world leadership· for peace and
freedom; and continue to make our government work better.
�gL.~s
And we must relentlessly fight against the crime and
that destroys
lives and threatens our way of life. This morning I want to k especially about the danger
of drug abuse. In the last few years, even as overall drug e in America has dropped, there
has been a frightening increase in drug abuse by people yo r age. And at the same time
usage has gone up, belief that drugs are dangerous has go e down.
Let me be perfectly clear: Anyone who thinks dru s aren't dangerous is one hundred
percent wrong. Drugs are deadly. They destroy your m nds and ruin your bodies; they will
steal your future, and they may very well steal your life. And the danger doesn't only come
from the drugs themselves-- wherever you find drug abuse, you can bet the world you'll
find crime and violenpe J?}pping on its heels.

you and your parents go through a counseling program, or leave school for good.

SUMMARY
YOUTH EAIR CHANCE DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM
The Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) amendments of 1992
authorized the Secretary of Labor to award up to 25 Youth Fair
Chance (YFC) demonstration projects to:
I. ensure access to education and job training assistance for (all)
youth residing in high poverty areas of urban and rural communities,
(this includes Native Alaskan Villages, Indian Reservations and
migrant or seasonal farm workers);
2. provide a comprehensive range of education. training, and
employment services to disadvantaged youth who are not currently
sexved or who are underserved by Federal education and job training
programs;
3. enable communities with high concentrations of poverty to
establish and meet goals for improving the opponunities available to

youth within the community; and
4. facilitate the coordination of comprehensive services to serve
youth in such communities.
ln FY 1993, $50 million was appropriated to support Lhis effort. Also, the
legislation expanded those who were to be provided services from ages 1421 to ages 14-30.
The program design includes three major components:
1. Education and Training
a. School-to-Work transition in 2 secondary schools, at least
one of which is located in the target community, and
b. An alternative education/training center for individuals who
are less likely to enroll in a traditional school setting.

HEADLINE: PANEL URGES MORE FUNDS FOR ANTI-GANG GROUP
BYLINE: By HUGO MARTIN, TIMES STAFF WRITER
BODY:
A volunteer group struggling .to !<eep intact a weakening gang truce in the San
Fernando Valley'received help from a Los Angeles city budget panel tha~
recommended Tuesday to more· than triple its funding.
The City·council s. Budget and Finance Comm~ttee voJ:ed to increase funding for
the nonprofit Valley Unity Peace Treaty from $40,000 to $140,000, an increase
that officials. say.will pay for full-time gang mediat'ors. The action must be
·approved by the full Cityccouncil sometime ,in t·he next. month.
1
The truce among Latino gang members in the Valley began in October, 1993, but
~alice say a rash of shooting d~aths over t6e bast 2 .1/2 weeks indicatea that it
may be unraveling.
1
Steve Martine'z, a former gang member and a leader in the peace treaty group,
said the truce has been st;rained in recent weeks but is nonetheless still in
effect~
"With truces Jt 1 s always an up-and-down. ride," he said.
Martinez added that he hopes the increased funding will help boost their
efforts at keeping the peace.
"We are hoping that' at least we won 1 t have to worry about making ends meet,
he said.
il
The city originally gave the group $40, 0_00 last year to reduce violence by
providiEg volunt'eers__ to mediate disputes and, encourage gang members to
concentrate on academic performance in school.
The funding came from L.A. City Stars, a $3.7-milli~m program designed to
provide city funding for youth programs and gang intervention efforts.
During the budget hearings in May, the City Council set aside· an additional
$1.4 million to City Stars, allowing.the city to in~rease funding for some
prog~ams and provide funding for'new programs.
Funding for the .peace· treaty group was increased at the r·ecommendation of

Los Angeles Times, September 6, 1995
.i
·Councilman Richard Alarcon, who represents parts of the northeast ,Valley and has
long supported the truce.
.
He said the increased funding will be used to .hire three or four full-time
.mediators who wil:j.work the streets, talkingto gang members about reducing
tensions.
,,
Alarcon said the handful of volunteers who are now trying to 'keep the trea~y
intact have worked on their own'free time and have had to worry about paying the
bills at home while facing the growing dangers of their work.
"Frankly, they are human beings who have put their lives on hold and given up
their social needs to help provide order," he said.
He acknowledged that the treaty is losing momentum, but he hopes the
additional funding can help put it back on track.
Alarcon attribu):es the increased violence in ' the Valley to . gang
members who
'
have recently returned from prison and were not involved in the start of the
truce, as .well. as younger gang members who do not appreciate the guidance of
older members.
The. councilman recommended the increased funding long before the recent .rash
of gang shootings, but said the,money may be arriving just in time to help quell
the-'upsurge in violence.
"The peace treaty needs a minimal level of f~nding for it to fu:nction,·" he
said.
Police 'began to speculate that the truce was unraveling following the bloody
weekend of Aug .. 26 arid 27, during which five
killings took place in the San
.
Fernando Valley.
/
'
In the first seven months of the year, Los Angeles police have tal·lied 27
'gang-related killings in the Valley and have recorded.a 23% in~rease in all
.types of gang-related crimes. for the first six months of the year.
Police and others have blamed the upsurge, in part, on growing .numbers of
renegades who are not parties to the' truce, and also on the burgeoning number of
Asian'and African American gangs.

Update and additional information on Charles Rachal:
Was leader of The Crips -- one of.the largest gangs in California
(acutally might be in the country
will check)
Joined the gang when he was 14 years old
Former drug user -- PCP and cocaine and crack
Stopped using drugs after giong to prison for parole violation
spent 9 monthsd in jail thinking about his life and the people he
cared about.
Decided to turn his life around
Spent almost 4 years in jail at a very young age for gang violence
In 92 he and Leon Gullette -- former leader of rival gang the
Bloods-- called a truce between the gangs and have dedicated their
lives to "saving" young people from the streets and gangs. They
act a mentors to young people and started their own program called
the 17-30 Program to get kids off the street.
They are also participating in a City run program called the L.A.
Stars Program which is a mentor program run by the department of
Community Youth Gang Services. This program targets kids between
the ages of 9 and 17 years old and the mentors are former gang
members.
*************Info on Eleanor Roosevelt H.S.:****************
Nothing on Nexis about any gang related activity at the school.
Are checking other sources. What we have found out is that there
is considerable gang activitiy in Prince Georges County -- where
the school is located.
On November 27, 1995 14 year old Tatia Brennan was murdered. Two
15 year old teenagers have been arrested and charged with carrying
out the gang-ordered slaying.Authorities said the two assailants
were acting on .the orders of two gang leaders from the Bloods.
�They allegedly decided to have Tatia killed because she had warned
a member of a rival gang that the Bloods were planning to beat him
up.
Tatia was a member of the gang.
In a news report PG County Police Chief said the department is
investigating the extent of gang activity in the county.
"This is
the most organized group we'v~ seen so far," he said.
On Jan 27 the bodies of three women aged.19, 21, and 23 were found
on Md Route 197 between Laurel and Bowie {PG County)
Each victim
was shot in the head or torso. One of the victims, Tanji Jackson
{21) worked in the office at Eleanor Roosevelt H.S.
The school has received some publicity for its Science and
Technology Center.
Let me know if ·any of this is helpful or if you need more info.
�Remarks
Vice President AI Gore
White House Leadership Conference
On Youth, Drug Use and Violence
Greenbelt, MD
March 7, 1996
(ACKNOWLEDGMENTS FROM ADVANCE)
This conference is about drug use and violence. But deep
down, it's also about communication. The President and I are
here to talk. But perhaps more important, we're here to listen
--to really understand what's on your minds and what's
happening in your lives. So let me start off in that spirit.
l-Iow many of you know somebody who's had a problem
·'
with drugs?
1
�.,
'1
How many of you know somebody in your school or
your church or your family who've had lives touched by a
violent crime?
We've got to change that. And we've got to change that
now. When I ask questions like these, even one raised hand
is one too many.
Let me tell you, the President couldn't be working harder
to end violence and drug use in our streets and in our homes.
This is the man who signed the Brady Bill into law. Isn't it
funny? It was a bill no one dare would pass for so long, we
still say "Brady Bill."
2
�..
.,
The fact is, the Brady Law is now in effect. And because
of it, more than 60,000 convicted felons, fugitives, stalkers and
others couldn't buy a handgun when they tried to. They were
nailed by a computerized backgrolU1d check. And they did not
get a gun.
President Clinton has also given us the Safe and Drug
Free Schools Act, and changed the criminal laws so the worst
offenders get the pmishment they deserve.
And his Crime Bill is putting 100,000 new police officers
on the streets. These officers are walking the neighborhoods,
stopping crime before it begins.
3
�But we also know that prevention -- keeping kids out of
the circumstances tha~ lead to crime and drugs-- has to be a
part of any answer.
That is why we've begun Empowerment Zones and
Enterprise Communities. We're luring dollars and jobs and
new businesses to communities that haven't seen much
investment lately. And we're helping to rebuild there
communities-- getting teenagers summer jobs and schools
connected to the Internet.
And just. a few weeks ago, President Clinton put into
place the "v-chip" --a way for parents to block out all those
television shows that glorify violence.
4
�·,
Because we all know that violence doesn't come with a
cool solllldtrack. Real violence comes with screaming, yelling,
and -- too often with tears.
Efforts like these are making a difference. Across
America, by almost every measure, violent crime is on its way
down. And I wish the story ended there. But it doesn't.
Because tragically, among our yollllg people, drug use hasn't
diminished.
We have made progress. We have moved forward. But
we have not completed our journey. We've got a lot of work
left to do. And mark my words: we will get the job done.
5
�With President Clinton and General McCafferty and
committed, talented yollllg people like the ones gathered here
today, we will bring crime down and bring drug use to a halt.
I'm glad to be here with you today but --. and I know the
President will agree with me on this -- I would rather be here
for another reason than to come and talk about how to stop
this horrible cycle of violence. I would rather be here to hear
about your classes, your families, your plans for the future.
But this is the real world. And the President and I know
it's hard to think about the next exam or being an adult when
your surroundings are filled with danger and pain.
6
�':.
'
'"'I
Violence and drug use hurt everyone. They must stop.
They must stop now.
Now, I want to introduce Mark Anderes (AN-DREEZ),
your
~tudent
Government President. Mark is a terrific leader
in your school, and I know that he has a story that we all want
to hear.
