To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to require broadcasters to partici-

as a part of their public service obligations.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
APRIL 25, 1996
Mr. MICA (for himself, Mr. RANGEL, Mr. SOUDER, and Mr. ZELIFF) intro-
duced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Com-
merce
A BILL
To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to require broad-
casters to participate in drug and substance abuse infor-
mation and education efforts as a part of their public
service obligations.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
(1) television broadcasters are required to serve
the public interest, convenience, and necessity be-
cause their medium of communication, the electronic
spectrum, is a scarce public resource;
(2) television has a great impact on American
society, often more than family life, school, or reli-
gious institutions;
(3) current drug abuse prevention and edu-
cation efforts have failed to curb the demand for de-
structive and ruinous illicit drugs because we are not
taking full advantage of our most effective medium,
television;
(4) there are approximately 7,000 drug abuse
related deaths, and 400,000 drug-related accidents
reported in the United States every year;
(5) 49 percent of all State prison inmates re-
ported that their crimes were committed while under
the influence of illicit drugs or alcohol, or both;
(6) intravenous drug use is the second leading
cause of existing HIV infection cases, and the lead-
ing direct and indirect cause of new HIV cases;
(7) 64 percent of all child abuse cases involve
illicit drug use;
(8) 20 percent of all newborn children in the
United States have been exposed to illicit drugs;
(9) the Federal Government spends over
$13,000,000,000 per year on drug-related domestic
law enforcement, international border control, drug
treatment programs, and demand reduction efforts;
(10) $50,000,000,000 worth of illicit drugs are
sold in the United States each year;
(11) in 1991, students in grades 6 through 12
spent $276,000,000 on cocaine, $343,000,000 on
marijuana, and $32,000,000 on other illicit sub-
stances;
(12) it is cheaper and more effective to prevent
people from using drugs in the first place, or to stop
early experimentation before drug use progresses to
dependency, than it is to treat an addict or incarcer-
ate drug users;
(13) reducing the future demand for drugs is
widely acknowledged as the key to solving our Na-
tion’s drug crisis; and
(14) therefore, the Federal Government, acting
on behalf of the people, and in the interest of na-
tional security, has a right to require broadcasters to
dedicate a portion of their commercial airtime to ad-
dressing this matter of urgent national concern.
SEC. 2. AMENDMENT TO THE COMMUNICATIONS ACT OF
1934.
Section 311 of the Communications Act of 1934 is
amended by adding at the end the following new sub-
section:
ments generally, and to meeting the requirements of this
subsection.’’.
