There  was  a  discussion  of  the  drug  issue,  and  the  lack  of implementation of the  Coalition to End  Drug Violence, with  comments including: this is a "deadly" issue that legislators are not yet ready to support, that  we needed to  get more supporters  lined  up  before announcing it, that  people are moving  our way, that what is "deadly" for the other  parties can still  be of value for  us even if  only  a small fraction of  the population agrees,  that this  may  not  be  an appropriate project for  the national LP because of its size, and that the fact that the Executive Committee was given authorization to spend money on something  and then decided  not to should not  be viewed  as evidence that the  authorization was a  mistake.

Thies provided a written report [Attachment E] and offered to answer questions. He said he had done only a kind of spot check this time and had not found any big problems, but that it was human nature to magnify whatever problems exist. There was a small fuss about the office allowing the  Lord campaign to use the office address and not offering this service to other campaigns;  Dunbar pointed out that the only cost was a box in the office and that it wouldn't really be practical for anyone more distant.
