Today, President Bush participated in a meeting on drug use with a group of fellow citizens -- some were pastors, some were ex-cons, some were baseball players, some were docs, some were community activists -- to talk about a comprehensive strategy to deal with drug use in America. Since 2001, teenage use has declined by 25 percent. That means 900,000 fewer teens on drugs." (since Bush was elected). Remarks by the President

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
President Bush on Thursday said, "And our strategy is threefold: one, reduce demand, interdict supply, and then help people who have become addicts. And we're making progress. No question there's still work to do in America, but we are making progress. And one way to note the progress is this statistic: Since 2001, teenage use has declined by 25 percent. That means 900,000 fewer teens on drugs."
