National Campaign Against Drug
Abuse
Remarks on Signing an Executive Order
and Messages to the Congress Transmitting
Proposed Legislation. September 15, 1986
The President. Well, last evening Nancy
and I invited all Americans to join in a na-
tional crusade against drugs. And this morn-
ing I'm signing an Executive order and
transmitting legislation to Congress as part
of the Federal Government's crusade
against drugs. The Executive order that I'm
signing will implement new procedures
that will work to ensure a drug-free Federal
workplace. And the legislation, the Drug-
Free America Act, addresses the need to
get drugs out of the workplace, schools, and
our neighborhoods; it helps the States with
drug treatment; and it cracks down on drug
traffickers.
This is the Federal Government's way of
"just saying no" to drugs. We're getting
tough on drugs, and we mean business. To
those who are thinking of using drugs, we
say: Stop. And to those who are pushing
drugs, we say: Beware. I hope all Americans
will join in this important effort and make
America drug free.
And now first, I will sign the Executive
order. And the two transmittal letters.
[At this point, the President signed the Ex-
ecutive order and messages to Congress.]
It is done.
Reporter. Mr. President, many of your
conservative supporters say that in this
Daniloff affair, you've given in to the
Russians--that you blinked first. How do
you respond to that, sir?
The President. No one on our side has
blinked, and I didn't blink. I wasn't going to
take any question on either subject. When
you asked that?I heard some of the shows
Sunday, and I don't know where they get
that idea. No, we have not blinked. He is a
hostage, as George Shultz said. The individ-
ual that we're holding is an accused spy,
and there can be no trade between those
two; nor does Mr. Daniloff believe that
there should be such a trade. But, no, we
haven't blinked. From the very first I have
felt that it was absolutely essential that we
get Daniloff out of their hands and out of
1188
. ?
- that cell which he occupied with what was
obviously a Soviet aide?and 4-hours-a-day
interrogation.
Q. But do you think now that you can
bring it to a successful conclusion and get
Daniloff free in an honorable way?
The President. That's our goal, and that's
what we're going to?
Q. Has there been any progress in those
negotiations in the last few days that you
can report?
The President. I can't comment on that?
I really can't.
Q. Do you have a cold?
The President, What?
Q. Do you have a cold? Are you suffering
from a cold?
The President. I think there was some-
thing in the breeze up at Camp David this
weekend that?I'm subject to certain aller-
gies and pollen, and I brought this back
from Camp David with me. It isn't a cold;
no, it's an allergy.
Q. How do you feel?
The President. Other than that, I'm feel-
ing fine.
Q. You're net taking any drugs for
the?(inaudibiel--antihistamines? [Laugh-
ter]
The President. No, Sam [Sam Donaldson,
ABC News]. I irrigate my nasal passages
with salt water.
Q. Just say no. [Laughter]
Note: The President spoke at 11:04 a.m. in
the Oval Office at the White House.
