The success of the campaign we are commencing will depend on educating others about the tragic consequences of rape, and also about something else, of how healing it can be when justice is done the right way for the victim of a rape. We have got to make sure that we do everything we can to support the judicial system so that it has the resources, the know-how, and the staffing necessary to get these cases to trial and to see that justice is done. At the Justice Department, we're committed to working with communities across the Nation to help prevent such crimes and to apprehend and prosecute those who commit them. Partnerships like the one demonstrated in Santa Monica today are critical if this issue is to be addressed successfully Working together, I'm convinced that we can effectively educate people on college campuses and beyond in every city, and every small town, and every rural area in America about the menace these new drugs pose. It's time for everyone in America to wake up to the threat of Rohypnol.
Rape drugs are a national concern.
The partnership on display today demonstrates exactly the type of response that is needed. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the campaign, and let us all work together until we see this problem eliminated.
