Rice 106 Emerson Court Pleasant Hill, California 94523 January 15, 1999 Contra Costa County Internal Operations Committee 651 Pine St. Martinez, CA 94553 Dear Members of the Internal Operations Committee I am pleased to submit my application for a position on the Human Relations Commission. I have a long record of community involvement and volunteerism, including serving on the Public Policy and Education Committees of the AIDS Project of Contra Costa, volunteering for Project Open Hand, co-chairing the annual canvass drive as well as chairing the Nominating Committee of my church, and chairing the annual benefit car show for the Freewheelers Car Club. I believe that these experiences, as well as my past experience working in city government, have increased my awareness of the importance of strengthening the relationship between citizens and all levels of their government. It is vital that government not only treat all citizens fairly and equitably, but also assume responsibility for ensuring equal opportunity for all. That said, I also recognize that government cannot—and indeed, should not-a--attempt to right every perceived wrong in the lives of its citizens. But legitimate cases of discrimination, and even cases of failure to act in a timely or appropriate manner, can and should be addressed with due diligence. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my energy and experience to the Human .Relations Commission. If you wish to discuss my qualifications, please do not hesitate to contact me. I may be reached during the day, Monday through Friday, at(92.5) 974- 8355. Thank you for your consideration of my application. Sincerely, / James P. Rice attachment James P.

The other is an article I wrote for the newsletter of the Freewheelers Car Club, promoting the club's annual benefit car show. I hope that these will be helpful.

Rice enclosures AB 260: BROWN GIVES NEEDLE EXCHANGE ANOTHER SHOT by Jim Rice After seeing similar legislation vetoed by Governor Wilson last year, Assembly Speaker Willie Brown hes introduced another bill authorizing local government agencies to establish needle exchange pilot programs. Assembly gill (AB) 260 would establish the Glean Needle and Syringe Exchange Pilot Project, which would allow pharmacists, physicians, and other persons authorized under the project to furnish needles and syringes without a prescription, within the project guidelines. Governor Wilson explained his decision to veto last year's bill by citing a report from the Office of National Drug Control Policy which concluded that"distributing needles facilitates drug use and undercuts the credibility of society's message that using drugs is illegal and morally wrong...and there is no conclusive evidence that exchange programs reduce the spread of AIDS." Wilson added that "I am concerned that a so-called pilot project legalizing needle exchange would make of that community a magnet for IV drug users...(and) might actually increase the hazard of infection in the pilot community and throughout California, were I to sign the bill." Although we all know that statistics can be found to support virtually any position, in this case the preponderance of evidence appears to contradict Wilson's statements. There is a growing body of evidence that needle exchange programs, when properly administered, do avert new cases of HIV infection. A recent article in U.S. News & World Report examined needle exchange programs presently operating in New Fork City and New Haven, Conn., and concluded that the programs were working. According to the article, the New Haven experience is the most convincing. A team of researchers from Yale has been studying the city's needle exchange program, launched in 1990. The Yale researchers have thus far observed that the share of returned needles testing positive for HIV has dropped sharply; addicts are holding on to needles for a shorter time, suggesting that they are sharing them less; and there has been an estimated drop of at least 33 percent in the rate of new HIV infections among IV drug users. In New York, previously underground exchange programs were legalized last year, after Mayor Dinkins dropped his previous resistance. Early indications point to success: Needle sharing has declined, referrals to treatment are up, and there has been no - 2 - evidence that the programs have attracted new drug users. Results similar to those seen in New York and New Haven have been observed with numerous other exchange programs, both in the U.S. and abroad. In fact, a recent article in the highly respected Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science noted that "programs to increase the use of sterile injection equipment by intravenous drug users appear to have almost universally achieved their desired effect of reducing AIDS risk behavior....The consistency of the reported results in reducing AIMS risk behavior is quite striking." Opposition to needle exchange programs is strongest among many religious leaders and conservative politicians (witness last year's party-line vote in the California Legislature on the bill ultimately vetoed by Gov. Wilson), Many opponents of needle exchange programs seem to base their position more on idealogy or personal opinion than on objective evidence. Indeed, President Bush ignored the recommendations of his own National Commission on AIDS last year when he extended a ban on federal funding for exchange projects. In recognition of potential opposition to the concept of government-sanctioned needle exchange programs, the tent of the AB 260 states that "scientific data from needle exchange programs in the U.S. and in Europe have shown that the exchange of used hypodermic needles and syringes for clean hypodermic needles and syringes does not increase drug use in the population, can serve as an important bridge to treatment and recovery from drug abuse, and can curtail the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among the intravenous drug user population." In an attempt to further diffuse arguments that such programs will encourage drug use,the bill also stipulates that the needle exchanges will be on a strictly "one-for-one" basis. It is vital that Gov. Wilson and other policy makers be made aware of the truth about the efficacy of needle exchange programs, and be convinced of the importance of not allowing their personal feelings of distaste to blind them to the lifesaving potential of this legislation. Accompanying this article are the names and addresses and phone and FAX numbers of Gov. Wilson, our elected representatives from Contra Costa County, and other officials whose opinions should count. You know what to do.
