                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Declaring the sense of Congress with respect to studies and research 
                  involving the legalization of drugs.

Whereas the sale, possession and use of drugs pose a pervasive and substantial 
        threat to the social, educational, and economic health of the United 
        States;
Whereas the impact of drug abuse is reflected in the violence that it causes and 
        in the disintegration of families, schools, and neighborhoods;
Whereas the effects of rampant drug use is amply illustrated by national violent 
        crime statistics across the United States;
Whereas the overwhelming majority of health care and law enforcement experts 
        agree that drug legalization would have disastrous consequences for the 
        people of the United States; and
Whereas recent studies demonstrate that drug use by young people is on the rise 
        in the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
that it is the sense of Congress that no department or agency of the 
United States Government should conduct or finance, in whole or in 
part, any study or research involving the legalization of drugs.
