            TITLE III--STATEMENT OF NATIONAL ANTIDRUG POLICY

      Subtitle A--Congressional Leadership in Community Coalitions

SEC. 301. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Illegal drug use is dangerous to the physical well-
        being of the Nation's youth.
            (2) Illegal drug use can destroy the lives of the Nation's 
        youth by diminishing their sense of morality and with it 
        everything in life that is important and worthwhile.
            (3) According to recently released national surveys, drug 
        use among the Nation's youth remains at alarmingly high levels.
            (4) National leadership is critical to conveying to the 
        Nation's youth the message that drug use is dangerous and 
        wrong.
            (5) National leadership can help mobilize every sector of 
        the community to support the implementation of comprehensive, 
        sustainable, and effective programs to reduce drug abuse.
            (6) As of September 1, 1998, 76 Members of the House of 
        Representatives were establishing community-based anti-drug 
        coalitions in their congressional districts or were actively 
        supporting such coalitions that already existed.
            (7) The individual Members of the House of Representatives 
        can best help their constituents prevent drug use among the 
        Nation's youth by establishing community-based anti-drug 
        coalitions in their congressional districts or by actively 
        supporting such coalitions that already exist.
    (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that 
the individual Members of the House of Representatives, including the 
Delegates and the Resident Commissioner, should establish community-
based anti-drug coalitions in their congressional districts or should 
actively support such coalitions that already exist.

             Subtitle B--Rejection of Legalization of Drugs

SEC. 311. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Illegal drug use is harmful and wrong.
            (2) Illegal drug use can kill the individuals involved or 
        cause the individuals to hurt or kill others, and such use 
        strips the individuals of their moral sense.
            (3) The greatest threat presented by such use is to the 
        youth of the United States, who are illegally using drugs in 
        increasingly greater numbers.
            (4) The people of the United States are more concerned 
        about illegal drug use and crimes associated with such use than 
        with any other current social problem.
            (5) Efforts to legalize or otherwise legitimize drug use 
        present a message to the youth of the United States that drug 
        use is acceptable.
            (6) Article VI, clause 2 of the Constitution of the United 
        States states that ``[t]his Constitution, and the laws of the 
        United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all 
        treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of 
        the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and 
        judges in every state shall be bound thereby, any thing in the 
        Constitution or laws of any state to the contrary 
        notwithstanding.''.
            (7) The courts of the United States have repeatedly found 
        that any State law that conflicts with a Federal law or treaty 
        is preempted by such law or treaty.
            (8) The Controlled Substances Act (title II of Public Law 
        91-513; 21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) strictly regulates the use and 
        possession of drugs.
            (9) The United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic 
        in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotrophic Substances Treaty similarly 
        regulates the use and possession of drugs.
            (10) Any attempt to authorize under State law an activity 
        prohibited under such Treaty or the Controlled Substances Act 
        would conflict with that Treaty or Act.
    (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the several States, and the citizens of such States, 
        should reject the legalization of drugs through legislation, 
        ballot proposition, constitutional amendment, or any other 
        means; and
            (2) every State should make efforts to be a drug-free 
        State.

  Subtitle C--Report on Streamlining Federal Prevention and Treatment 
                                Efforts

SEC. 321. REPORT ON STREAMLINING FEDERAL PREVENTION AND TREATMENT 
              EFFORTS.

    (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the efforts of the Federal Government to reduce the 
        demand for illegal drugs in the United States are frustrated by 
        the fragmentation of those efforts across multiple departments 
        and agencies; and
            (2) improvement of those efforts can best be achieved 
        through consolidation and coordination.
    (b) Report Requirement.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 18 months after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the Director of National Drug Control 
        Policy shall prepare and submit to the appropriate committee a 
        report evaluating options for increasing the efficacy of drug 
        prevention and treatment programs and activities by the Federal 
        Government. Such option shall include the merits of a 
        consolidation of programs into a single agency, transferring 
        programs from one agency to another, and improving coordinating 
        mechanisms and authorities.
            (2) Recommendation and explanatory statement.--The study 
        submitted under paragraph (1) shall identify options the 
        Director deems have merit, and an explanation which options 
        should be implemented.
            (3) Authorization of appropriations.--For purposes of 
        carrying out this section, there are authorized to be 
        appropriated to the Director of National Drug Control Policy 
        $1,000,000 for contracting, policy research, and related costs.
    (c) Appropriate Committee Defined.--In this section, the term 
``appropriate committees'' means the Committee on Appropriations, the 
Committee on Commerce, and the Committee on Education and the Workforce 
of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on Appropriations, 
and Committee on Labor and Human Resources of the Senate.

            Passed the House of Representatives September 16, 1998.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
