SUBJECT: Requesting President of the United States
to Kick Off our Drug Summit in 1989
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Supervisors (over the signature of all five
Supervisors) immediately requests presidential candidates
Vice-President Bush and Governor Dukakis to participate in
our Contra Costa Drug Abuse Prevention Summit planned for
1989 . Our request should be made to both candidates before
the election to secure an indication of their interest and
commitment to help communities wage a war on drugs. Further,
the letter of invitation should request the President of the
United States to personally attend the Summit in Contra Costa
County if at all possible or to "linkup" with us via
satellite conferencing. or video-taped message.
BACKGROUND
The Internal Operations Committee discussed the concept of
inviting both presidential candidates when the Drug Summit
was being deliberated. Since the planning for the conference
is now proceeding, it would be timely and appropriate for the
full Board of Supervisors to extend the invitation before the
November election.
