    Statement on Action To Cut Teen Drug Use
    June 18, 1998

        Today's PRIDE survey shows that American families can influence
    adolescents' attitudes and behaviors when it comes to drugs. This is a
    small step in the right direction. But we must all continue to warn our
    youth that drugs are wrong; that drugs are dangerous; and that drugs can
    kill you. That is why in the coming months, we will take our antidrug
    media campaign nationwide, fund more community antidrug coalitions, and
    work to enact our long-term drug strategy. These and other steps will
    help us to reach our ultimate goal--cutting teen drug use in half.
