I know how serious the drug threat is. and I have been and will be committed to doing whatever it takes to keep drugs away from our children. I support many of the measures in the Coverdell amendment. And if the United States Senate ever gets serious about addressing this issue. perhaps funding these measures through general revenues. I would support them wholeheartedly. In fact. we will have an opportunity to vote on an alternative which addresses the drug problem by authorizing funds to increase the number of border patrol agents. Coast Guard officers. and money for the Department of Defense to increase interdiction. And we will be able to augment these programs without gutting antitobacco efforts.
