primarily with interdiction
efforts. Attorney General Edwin
Meese conducted a series of
high-profile crackdowns, in-
cluding such sweep operations
as “Alliance” with Mexico and
“Blast Furnace” in Bolivia.
But the administration main-
tained the new battle front was in
America, and that to wipe out
drugs, demand as well as sour-
ces must be eliminated.
Following the cocaine-related
death of University of Maryland
basketball star Len Bias, an ABC
poll found that 80 percent of Am-
ericans believed illegal drug use
was a nationwide crisis, but 62
percent said that wasn’t the case
in their own community, school
or workplace.
Government statistics esti-
mate that about 25 percent of the
U.S. population has tried mari-
juana, with about 20 million
people using it once a month. Co-
caine emerged as the new drug
of choice, with the President’s
Commission on Organized
Crime — first to call for man-
datory drug testing — reporting
that 25 million Americans have
used it and about 5 million do so
regularly.
But the figures showed that the
peak of concern may have come
after the peak of use, and that
although serious, drug abuse is
not a rapidly growing crisis.
With the exception of the po-
tent, smokable crack surging in
major metropolitan areas, the
latest survey by the National In-
stitute on Drug Abuse showed
that use of heroin and marijuana
remained constant or declined
between 1982 and 1985.
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
war on drugs, once waged in for-
eign poppy fields and along U.S.
borders, moved into the nation’s
factories, offices and courts dur-
ing 1986, searching for the one in
every four Americans who have
used illegal substances.
No longer the exclusive prov-
ince of government, the anti-
drug campaign, hitting a
crescendo before Election Day,
was picked up by private indus
try, which began a fullscale as-
sault with drug-testing
programs for job applicants and
employees.
Drug screening, which began
in the military in 1981, gained
favor with almost one-third of
the leading industrial companies
in the United States, at least for
pre-employ ment use.
President Reagan went a step
further, urging a national “war
on drugs,” and setting down
mandatory guidelines for an es-
timated 1.1 million federal em-
ployees in sensitive jobs. The
president and members of his
staff took the tests voluntarily.
Proponents said new drug
tests — which can detect cocaine
traces for two days after use and
marijuana for several weeks —
will save employers billions in
lost productivity and ensure a
drugfree workplace.
Opponents, led by civil rights
groups and employees’ unions,
argued testing was a seductive,
quick-fix answer that didn’t
solve the problem and invaded
employees’ constitutional right
against unlawful searches and
seizures. They also argued that
the affordable mass screening
tests have a high error rate.
notwithstanding.
Actor Cary Grant died of a
stroke, ailing Sen. John East,
R-N.C., committed suicide and
University of Maryland bas-
ketball star Len Bias died of co-
caine intoxication two days after
being drafted by the Boston Cel-
tics.
Warren Burger retired as
chief justice of the Supreme
Court, former Delaware Gov.
Pierre Du Pont became the first
announced 1988 presidential
candidate and Americans
received sweeping tax reform.
Kellye Cash was crowned Miss
America, New York Met Ray
Knight was the World Series
MVP and Elie Wiesel, the Nazi
death camp survivor whose
writings on the Holocaust seared
world conscience, received the
Nobel Peace Prize.
“Drug testing is really on the
upswing,” said Allan Adler,
legal counsel for the American
Civil Liberties Union. And the
$300-million-a-year drug testing
industry stands poised to grow,
which sets the scene for a dra-
matic collision in the courts.
A federal court in New Orleans
already has ruled that a U.S.
Customs drug testing re-
quirement for employees was
unconstitutional and illegal. The
Justice Department appealed
the Nov. 12 ruling, and Customs
Commissioner William von
Raab ordered a freeze on hiring
or promoting anyone who de-
clines to take a drug test.
With a handful of other de-
cisions on either side of the issue,
the same judge, Robert F. Col-
lins, now is considering Re-
agan’s executive order last
summer to apply the tests to the
federal workforce.
The government’s guidelines,
set out by the Office of Personnel
Management, said federal
workers in sensitive jobs—yet to
be defined — may be fired for a
single detected instance of il-
legal drug use and must be fired
fora second.
U.S. agencies must bear the
estimated $56 million cost of the
tests and of rehabilitation pro-
grams.
The drug furor in the country,
spurred by a recordbreaking
number of television specials
and the emergence of the deadly
cocaine derivative, “crack,"
swelled to peak levels around
Election Day, as candidates
scrambled to get on the issue.
Congress voted to spend a
hefty $1.7 billion to fight drugs,
own TV show and world oil prices
slipped below $10per barrel.

iloff was detained in Moscow,
