Just their copy of the publication below. How to Hold Your Own In A Drug Legalization Debate, by the DEA, November, 1994 This booklet was the result of the DEA's emergency conference in August, 1994, in which they tried desperately to find some way to keep from getting their butts kicked when they engaged in public debates on drug policy. It is a direct response to the Persuasive Strategies, and borrows from the Persuasive Strategies on several occasions. Reply to the DEA's book "How To Hold Your Own In a Drug Legalization Debate" In this section, I go through the arguments the DEA has raised in their book and examine them in detail against the Federal Government's own evidence on the subject. In addition to missing the point, the DEA is not telling the truth. DEA Charts on Worldwide Cocaine and Heroin Production and Seizures -- These are the official DEA charts of worldwide cocaine and heroin production and seizures. U.S. DRUG THREAT ASSESSMENT: 1993 DRUG INTELLIGENCE REPORT - DEA - September, 1993 This is a rather long document which is a comprehensive summary of the DEA's view of the threat from drugs. COCA CULTIVATION AND COCAINE PROCESSING: AN OVERVIEW -- DEA - September 1993 This report is the DEA's overview of the cocaine industry.

Drugs and Violence: Causes, Correlates, and Consequences, (Very Big -- 600K!) NIDA Research Monograph 103 - 1990, For a shorter analysis, with essentially the same results, see Psychoactive Substances and Violence, above. National Clearinghouse on Alcohol and Drug InformationContains information such as the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) Reports, the Household Survey on Drug Abuse, and other information. While the information contained in these surveys is significant, it needs to be viewed carefully in light of the problems which are encountered with any attempt to collect information on illegal activities. In addition, when such information is reported to the media, the government officials releasing the information will tend to make up press reports which are misleading, to say the least, when compared with the full text of the reports. Readers of these reports should read them carefully to determine the difference between the press release and the details of the report, and they should also refer to the problems in collecting accurate data, discussed in the GAO report, Drug Use Measurement.

PRESS BRIEFING BY DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY, DR. LEE BROWN February 9, 1994 -- Lee Brown touting the Clinton Administration's new plan for the same old failures. Typical political BS. AIDS CZAR KRISTINE GEBBIE COMMENDS DRUG CZAR FOR NATIONAL DRUG STRATEGY - February 9, 1994 No sooner had Lee Brown spoken the words than other officials rushed forth to praise him for his wisdom. Ms. Gebbie quit the Clinton Administration shortly thereafter because she couldn't find anyone who cared about the AIDS problem. REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT IN DRUG STRATEGY ANNOUNCEMENT -- February 9, 1994 -- The President thought Lee Brown's plan was a good idea too. POLICE PRACTICES: DRUG FREE BLOCK PLAN By Deputy Chief Charles W. Bennett, Jr. and Captain A. Christine Bailor, M.P.A., Richmond, VA Police Department Originally published in the July '94 issue of FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin This is another one of those hare-brained plans to stamp out drugs in the community. Among other things, the police get together with the neighborhood residents and get them to sign a contract vowing to be drug-free. Oh well, it made them feel productive for a while. LEGALIZATION OF ILLICIT DRUGS: IMPACT AND FEASIBILITY (A Review of Recent Hearings) REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON NARCOTICS ABUSE AND CONTROL, 1989 These are the hearings on legalization held by Congressman Charles Rangel in 1989. It is a good example of the thinking and arguments being used at that time. Most notable is the fact that no real research was done, just some collecting of opinions, and many of the members of the committee said their mind was made up before they heard the evidence. This is a proposed ordinance for the city of Anaheim, California which would have barred people from city parks if they had ever been convicted of a drug offense. Just another dumb idea from our politicians. This one later fell to a combined lawsuit by the ACLU and NORML. Contributed by Jim Rosenfield. DRUGS AND THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY by HON. GERALD B.H. SOLOMON OF NEW YORK in the House of Representatives, Thursday, October 6, 1994 A speech by Gerald Solomon. He is upset because people are using the internet to promote drug policy reform.

SOLOMON OF NEW YORK in the House of Representatives Thursday, March 2, 1995 Another diatribe, full of misinformation, by Gerald Solomon. What he doesn't know about the subject has filled libraries. US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES - CONSTITUENT ELECTRONIC MAIL SYSTEM How to contact your elected representatives through e-mail. Now all you have to do is get them to listen. The U.S. House of Representatives Member Directory A BRIEF HISTORY OF FEDERAL FIREARMS ENFORCEMENT, Frederick S. Calhoun.
