When we came into office, drug use was fairly high, and we had to make some fundamental decisions with respect to what would be the policy and how we would drive the numbers down. President George W. Bush was pretty serious about performance measures—they keep score back there—and he charged us with reducing drug abuse, especially among teens twelve to eighteen years old by 25 percent within the first five years. The strategy wasn’t hard to figure out. We had to have prevention and education, and we had to have treatment and that included expanding treatment capacity. You had to have law enforcement, both domestically and internationally. The idea was to try and make those as balanced as possible.
