I am pleased to note Senate passage of House Joint Resolution 529. a joint resolution to designate the week beginning September 23. 1984. as "National Drug Abuse Education and Prevention Week." I introduced identical legislation in the Senate. S. 267. and was joined by 27 cosponsors. Two decades have passed and countless drugrelated deaths have occurred since drug abuse began to approach epidemic proportions in the United States. We have gone far in enacting stringent laws to thwart the proliferation of narcotics. We have gone far in strengthening our border patrols. Coast Guard. and other police forces to curb the influx of illegal drugs into our cities and towns. But today. drug abuse remains a national tragedy.
