Whereas law enforcement officers work daily in communities
across the Nation, assisting individuals in the pursuit of

of that important liaison role with wisdom and compas-

Whereas law enforcement officers are expected to perform du-
ties above and beyond those of the average person, in-
cluding duties such as rescuing individuals from a mul-

during times of great personal sorrow;
Whereas law enforcement officers engage in a variety of
tasks, from visiting with home-bound elderly citizens, me-
diating domestic disputes, and providing counsel to
youngsters on our streets, to retrieving lost pets and
bringing a spirit of friendship and compassion to an envi-

Whereas drug abuse killed 14,218 Americans in 1995 and it
is estimated that nearly 114,000 Americans—many of
them our youth—will have died as a result of drug abuse

is estimated that 13,000,000 Americans used illegal
drugs in 1996;

structure improvements, agriculture, energy, space and
all foreign aid combined;

top priority foreign policy issue, above illegal immigration
and the threat of terrorism, and 39 percent of Americans

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The House makes the following findings:
(1) The duties of Members of Congress require
knowledge of a broad range of domestic and foreign
issues. Domestic and foreign travel can greatly en-
hance a Member’s knowledge, improving the quality
of legislation and congressional oversight. At the
same time, the lack of personal travel experience can
be a valid consideration in evaluating a Member’s
views on foreign policy and security issues.
(2) Congressional travel has many concrete ben-
efits. Domestic travel can improve a Member’s un-
derstanding of the impact government policies have
on a particular region or group of citizens. Such
travel can also increase public awareness and knowl-
edge of issues before Congress.
(3) Foreign travel by Members of Congress can
advance United States national interests. A Con-
gress that engages in no foreign travel is unequipped
to handle the many challenges facing the United
States. Travel increases the foreign policy expertise
of all Members, who must vote regularly on pro-
grams and issues that commit significant United
States resources abroad. Travel alerts Members to
United States foreign trade opportunities. Some
trips have saved millions of taxpayer dollars by ex-
•HRES 423 EH
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House that—
(1) the House declares its commitment to create a
Drug-Free America;
(2) the Members of the House should work person-
ally to mobilize kids, parents, faith-based and community
organizations, educators, local officials and law enforce-
ment officers, as well as coaches and athletes to wage a
winning war on drugs;
(3) the House pledges to pass legislation that pro-
vides the weapons and tools necessary to protect our
children and our communities from the dangers of drug
addiction and violence; and
(4) the United States will fight this war on drugs
on three major battlefronts:
(A) Deterring demand.
(B) Stopping supply.
(C) Increasing accountability.
