                        HON. ROBERT A. UNDERWOOD

                                of guam

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 28, 1995

  Mr. UNDERWOOD. Mr. Speaker, I rise in full support of this amendment. 
This amendment is necessary not only because of the profits from drugs, 
but because of the children who buy them and sometimes die from them. 
We know that there is a big drug problem in the Asia-Pacific region. 
There is even a big drug problem on my island of Guam. This amendment 
sends a message that this country will not tolerate drugs. This 
amendment will show that this country will not sit down while a country 
we help will transform the money we give to them into drugs. This 
amendment will show that this country will take a strong stand on 
drugs. This amendment is just one small step to making a big problem 
disappear. We may need a marathon of steps to follow, but this 
represents a good beginning. This amendment will make the street safer 
for our children here and in the Asia-Pacific region. This is why we 
have to thank Mr. Richardson and Mr. Rohrabacher for combining to make 
this amendment.
