THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release June 18, 1998

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

Today's PRIDE survey shows that American families can influence adolescents' attitudes and behaviors when it comes to drugs. This is a small step in the right direction. But we must all continue to warn our youth that drugs are wrong; that drugs are dangerous; and that drugs can kill you. That is why in the coming months, we will take our anti-drug media campaign nationwide, fund more community anti-drug coalitions, and work to enact our long-term drug strategy. These and other steps will help us to reach our ultimate goal -- cutting teen drug use in half.
