Subject: FC: House requires NASA to post anti-drug messages on web sites
The House this week approved this bill with the amendment included. --Declan
AMENDMENT NO. 7 OFFERED BY MR. SALMON
Mr. SALMON. Mr. Chairman, I offer an amendment.
The CHAIRMAN. The Clerk will designate the amendment.
The text of the amendment is as follows:
Amendment No. 7 offered by Mr. Salmon:
At the end of the bill, insert the following new section:
SEC. 221. ANTI-DRUG MESSAGE ON INTERNET SITES.
Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act,
the Administrator, in consultation with the Director of the Office
of National Drug Control Policy, shall place anti-drug messages on
Internet sites controlled by the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration.
In the table of contents, after the item relating to section 220,
insert the following new item:
Sec. 221. Anti-drug message on Internet sites.
Mr. SALMON. Mr. Chairman, my amendment is very straightforward. It
requires the NASA Administrator to consult with the Director of the
Office of National Drug Control Policy to place antidrug messages
on NASA Internet sites.
The NASA Internet site is the most popular Government Web site,
receiving hundreds of millions of hits. For example, the Mars
Pathfinder Web site logged roughly 750 million hits during its
mission to Mars. John Glenn's return to space generated 732,000
Web pages being downloaded from NASA's server, and each week about
250,000 Web pages are downloaded from NASA's server.
Many of these hits on the NASA site are from children, our young
people. Thousands of schools around the country have incorporated
the NASA Web site into their science curriculum. Furthermore, NASA
has targeted students with interactive Web sites designed to engage
young minds.
In an era where our children are constantly bombarded and surrounded
by the influence of drugs and where more than half of all high school
students are found to have dabbled with illicit drugs by the time they
have graduated, now is the time to step up our prevention efforts to
protect our children from the scourge of drugs. The NASA Web site is
an excellent and cost-free way to send these antidrug messages to our
young children.
I urge all of my colleagues to support this amendment.
Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
Mr. SALMON. I yield to the gentleman from Wisconsin.
Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Chairman, the amendment of the gentleman from
Arizona is a very constructive one and I am happy to accept it.
[Page: H3329]
Mr. GORDON. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
Mr. SALMON. I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee.
Mr. GORDON. Mr. Chairman, I also recommend accepting the amendment.
The CHAIRMAN. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman
from Arizona (Mr. Salmon).
The amendment was agreed to.
