Cochran, President Nixon, 1968-69 YLS Chairman Richard E. Wiley, Secretary Harry L. Hathaway, Speaker Daniel T. Rabbitt, YLS Chairman Joseph W. Mullen, Jr. HIGH NIXON PRAISE FOR YLS DRUG ABUSE EDUCATION PROGRAM An excellent program. An outstanding example of how private organizations can effectively become involved in helping attack the problems which confront our country. With these words, and many others, President Nixon praised the Drug Abuse Education Program of the Young Lawyer's Section at the White House on August 13, during a 50-minute conference with YIS officers and the Co-Chairmen of the Drug Abuse Committee. The program consists of a young lawyer and a medical doctor explaining the medical and legal aspects and effects of illegal drug abuse to junior high school age students in assembly type programs. Preaching and moralizing are discouraged. The intent of the program is to objectively lay out all of the facts, both legal and medical and then let the students make their own decision on whether they wish to become involved at all with drugs and narcotics. In the fall of 1969 YLS Chairman, Tom Cochran, had offered the services of our 50,000 members to the White House to aid in solving any of the current domestic problems; the Nixon response was a suggestion that the YLS develop an educational drug abuse program for our younger citizens. Examination of pilot projects of this type indicated that the medical-legal drug education program sponsored by the Florida young lawyers in the junior high schools was the best available. During late 1969 and early 1970, the YLS has adopted the Florida program for presentation in all junior high schools throughout the nation during the coming school year. An Operational Handbook explaining exactly how the program has been successfully sponsored in Florida has been prepared and is available from the American Bar Association, 1155 East 60th Street, Chicago, Illinois 60637. The Handbook was prepared by Committee Co-Chairman, David E. Ward, Jr., of Tampa, Florida, who was instrumental in the success of the Florida program. Co-Chairman, Allen E. Brennecke of Marshalltown, Iowa, ably assisted by the committee's ten regional chairmen, now has appointed fifty state chairmen and one for the District of Columbia, who will be responsible for seeing that the program is offered to the junior high schools in their respective states. These chairmen are: CHAIRMEN OR CO-CHAIRMEN Erskin Smith Hal Tobey Anthony Mason Charles W. Baker Robert L.
