The following bulletin has been submitted to DRCNet by Alan Gordon of
the American Drug History Institute, and forwarded to you with only minor
modification:
The nominee for Agriculture Secretary will have confirmation hearings in
front of the Senate Agriculture Committee. We interpret President Clinton's
Executive Order 129-19 to pass jurisdiction of hemp permits away from DEA
and into USDA. E-mail/write/fax/ phone the American Drug History Institute
with your communications to the Senate Agriculture Committee, and we'll
compile, forward and catalog them. Whether or not they affect the hearings,
the correspondence will be donated to Penn State's Library for inclusion
with the Archives of Harry J. Anslinger.
In the words of Rufus King in his 1992 visit to Penn State, commenting
on Anslinger's Archives and donating his own literature to them:
"It's a ... shame this isn't surrounded by materials to refute it."
Tell the Ag. Committee to ask Glickman about Exec. Order 129-19. Contact
the committee through The American Drug History Institute:
