Adolescents increasingly disapprove of illegal drugs, and a growing
number are using positive peer pressure to help friends stay away from
drugs. We have made similar
[[Page 13]]
progress combating illegal drug organizations that traffic in these
poisons. Additionally, drug-related murders are down to their lowest
level in over a decade.
Despite our progress, drugs continue to exact a tremendous toll on
our Nation. Studies report an increase in the use of steroids and club
drugs, such as ecstasy, by youths, and too many young people are still
using alcohol, tobacco, and illegal substances. In addition, one in four
inmates in State prisons and more than 60 percent of Federal inmates are
drug offenders. We need to continue to build on successful initiatives
like our Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign so our children can make smart
decisions and stay away from drugs. We must also make investments to
improve after-school opportunities so our children are supervised during
the hours when they are most vulnerable to drugs and crime. In addition,
we have a responsibility to reduce the treatment gap as well as help
close the revolving prison door of drug offenders by expanding drug
courts and drug testing and treatment programs, which have been shown to
cut recidivism by as much as 44 percent.
I urge the 107th Congress to continue working together in the
bipartisan spirit of my administration so that we may tackle these
important challenges and eliminate the devastating impact of drugs on
our Nation's communities.

Notice--Continuation of Libya Emergency
January 4, 2001
On January 7, 1986, by Executive Order 12543, President Reagan
declared a national emergency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States
constituted by the actions and policies of the Government of Libya. On
January 8, 1986, by Executive Order 12544, the President took additional
measures to block Libyan assets in the United States. The President has
transmitted a notice continuing this emergency to the Congress and the
Federal Register every year since 1986.
The crisis between the United States and Libya that led to the
declaration of a national emergency on January 7, 1986, has not been
resolved. Despite the United Nations Security Council's suspension of
U.N. sanctions against Libya upon the Libyan government's hand over of
the Pan Am 103 bombing suspects, there are still concerns about the
Libyan government's support for terrorist activities and its
noncompliance with United Nations Security Council Resolutions 731
(1992), 748 (1992), and 883 (1993).
Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national
emergency with respect to Libya. This notice shall be published in the
Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
William J. Clinton
The White House,
January 4, 2001.
[Filed with the Office of the Federal Register, 11:56 a.m., January 4,
2001]
Note: This notice was published in the Federal Register on January 5.

Letter to Congressional Leaders on Continuation of the National
Emergency With Respect to Libya
January 4, 2001
Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)
Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d))
provides for the automatic termination of a national emergency unless,
prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President
publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a notice
stating that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the
anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, I have sent the
enclosed notice, stating that the Libya emergency is to continue in
effect beyond January 7, 2001, to the Federal Register for publication.
The crisis between the United States and Libya that led to the
declaration on January 7, 1986, of a national emergency has not been
resolved.
Despite the United Nations Security Council's suspension of U.N.
sanctions
[[Page 14]]
against Libya upon the Libyan government's hand over of the Pan Am 103
bombing suspects, there are still concerns about the Libyan government's
support for terrorist activities and its noncompliance with United
Nations Security Council Resolutions 731 (1992), 748 (1992), and 883
(1993).
For these reasons, I have determined that it is necessary to
maintain in force the actions taken and currently in effect to apply
economic pressure on the Government of Libya.
Sincerely,
William J. Clinton

House of Representatives, and Albert Gore, Jr., President of the Senate.

Statement on John M. Shalikashvili's Report on the Comprehensive
Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty
January 5, 2001
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General John M.
Shalikashvili and I met this morning to discuss his report concerning
the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). The report argues
persuasively that ratifying the CTBT would increase our national
security and that the security benefits of the treaty outweigh any
perceived disadvantages.
The report's recommendations address concerns raised during the
October 1999 Senate debate over CTBT. I urge Congress and the incoming
Bush administration to act on them.
I also hope the Senate will take up the treaty at an early date as a
critical component of a bipartisan nonproliferation policy. CTBT is
supported by our friends and allies overseas and designed to reduce
existing nuclear dangers as well as those that might emerge in the
future.
I commend General Shalikashvili for his thorough and rigorous report
and his continued service to the Nation.
