DRAFT REMARKS FOR MAYOR MARION BARRY JR. DAVID M. WINFIELD DAY PRESS CONFERENCE FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1988 CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS 2:00 p.m. GOOD AFTBRNOON. BY NOW EVERYONE IN THIS CITY IS AWARE OF THE MANY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS IN PLACE TO FIGHT THE DRUG EPIDEMIC AMONG OUR YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS AND THE TREMENDOUS PROBLEMS IT CAUSES. EACH DAY WE READ AND HEAR IN THE NEWS TRAGIC STORIES ABOUT OUR YOUTH WHO ARE KILLING EACH OTHER OVER THE MOST INSIGNIFICANT AND TRIVIAL THINGS — GUNNING EACH OTHBR DOWN IN THE STREETS; STABBINGS; MAIMINGS AND OTHBR HORRIBLE ACTIVITIES THAT SADDEN US AND FRIGHTEN US IN VIEW OF THE PROSPECTS FOR OUR YOUTH FOR THB FUTURE. WE ARE FINDING THAT, INVARIBLY, DRUGS ARE BEHIND MOST OF THE PERSONAL ATTACKS ON INDIVIDUALS WE ARB NOW SEEING. OUR YOUTH ARE CRYING OUT FOR HELP. AND WE MUST COME TO THEIR AID. A MAJOR FACTOR CONTRIBUTING TO THE DRUG EPIDEMIC IN THIS CITY IS THE LACK OF POSITIVE ROLE MODELS AND HEROES FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.
