Statement by Deputy
Press Secretary for Domestic Affairs Brashear on Voluntary Drug Testing of the
Senior White House Staff
Monday,
the White House senior staff, led by the President and the Vice President, will
begin voluntary drug testing to set the example and lead the way toward the
President's goal of a drug-free workplace. The President has made it clear that
he is seeking a drug-free workplace for all Americans. He believes that all
Federal employees deserve a drug-free environment and that Federal employees
should set the example for State and local governments and the private sector
to follow in identifying users of illegal drugs. This is an essential step in
helping users free themselves of the drug habit.
