Dixie Kaetsu
Managing Director
Peter. L. Hendricks
Deputy Managing Director
Thank you for the opportunity to appear before the Hawaii County Council's
Committee on Finance on Wednesday, September 3, 2003 and to also provide
testimony before the Committee on Finance on Wednesday, October 8, 2003.
I would like to respectfully respond to three questions that were raised by the
County Council. 1) What is the County's strategy for the "War On Ice" —
Enforcement, Treatment, and Prevention — and how is it coordinated with the
state's strategic plan; 2) What Steps have been taken to assure that the proper
agencies and organizations have been included and are consulted in the
development of strategy and program implementation; and 3) How does
Resolution No. 94-03 "fit" into the County's Plan, and how will these funds be
spent by the County Administration?
I. What is the County's strategy for the War On Ice and how is Hawaii
County's strategy coordinated with the State's strategic plan?
Hawaii County's strategy is very simple: Increase funding to improve Hawaii
Island enforcement, treatment, and prevention programs and support our
community's efforts to take back their neighborhoods from drug dealers and drug
related crime. As for coordination with the State, we have been working closely
with our Island's legislative delegation on methamphetamine initiatives at the
legislature for over a year.
In addition, when Lieutenant Governor James "Duke' Aiona announced his
intention to take the lead on the ICE issue for the State of Hawaii back in June of
2003, 1 met with the Lieutenant Governor to personally discuss what we were
doing and to offer assistance in any way possible. We talked about the Meth
Summit and shared our experiences with the LG. We also talked at the Hawaii
State Summit, along with Kauai Mayor Bryan Baptiste, about resources and
coordinating our efforts. Everyone agrees that we need to cooperate, coordinate,
and collaborate to maximize our efforts. At this point, there is no formal
agreement to integrate Hawaii County's effort with the State's strategic plan.

Ref. Dote
However, we will do everything we can to ensure that we work together and
coordinate our efforts.
II. What steps have been taken to assure that the proper agencies and
organizations have been included and are consulted in the development of
strategy and program implementation?
When this effort began back in the fall of 2001, the key component was ensuring
that both the community stakeholders and important resource providers were
included. A three pronged approach, one including enforcement, treatment, and
prevention and education, was identified as a simple, inclusive, comprehensive
strategy. This strategy was focused in public safety, public health, and public
education and community awareness.
To that end, one of the first meetings called to begin planning included
representatives from each sector: Enforcement — HPD, DEA, FBI, US Attorney,
Judiciary, Prosecutor, Dir., Department of Public Safety; Treatment — Dir.,
Department of Health, Big Island Substance Abuse Council (BISAC), Dr. Kevin
Kunz, Access Capabilities Inc., Drug Addiction Services of Hawaii (DASH), Dr.
Fred Holschuh, Elaine Wilson (ADAD), Peggy Hilton (CPS); Prevention &
Education — Attorney General's Office — Crime Prevention and Justice Division,
UH, HCC, DOE, Five Mountains Hawaii, Community ICE Representatives from
Kona, Waikoloa, Waimea, N. Kohala, Honoka'a, Ka'u, and Puna.
This group was tasked with submitting the names of people or organizations
whose work or interest involved substance abuse on the Island of Hawaii.
Everyone was asked to submit names of those who needed to be invited from
their communities or their sectors to the Meth Summit. From this group, and the
database from the Youth Builders effort out of the Prosecutor's Office, we were
able to begin identifying who was doing what on Hawaii Island. We have tried to
ensure fairness and balance in gathering information.
Obviously, the longer we have been involved in this, the more people and
organizations you become aware of. We have made every effort to ensure that
every community is represented, that every person and organization that is
focused on addressing this problem is identified and involved. However, given
the limitations in manpower, resources, and time, we surely missed both
important people and organizations. Fortunately, some we have missed have
stepped forward and asked to be included. Bottom line is we need to have every
single person and every single organization on this Island involved in helping to
heal our island from the devastation that is ICE. Our goal is to have the capacity
to include everyone in a meaningful way.
III. How does Resolution No. 94-03 "fit" into the County's Plan, and how
will the funds be spent by the County Administration?
The two priorities of establishing an adolescent treatment program on Hawaii
Island and establishing a Community Anti -Ice fund are priorities within Hawaii
County's Plan for two reasons: One, is we have to heal and take care of our
children. Sending them off Island for substance abuse treatment can be both
ineffective and harmful. Second, providing resources for our communities to take
back their communities from drug dealing and drug abuse is the key to
sustainability. We do not have the wherewithal to address every need in every
community. However, if we provide meaningful support to community based
efforts, we will have changed a culture of acceptance, ignorance, and
helplessness.
Communities want to do get involved and take ownership of this problem as
evidenced by huge turnouts at meetings concerning ICE. But, they do not have
the time or expertise to access federal grants that can be complex and time
consuming. The community anti -ice fund was created to give our communities
training, support, and resources to address this problem at the neighborhood
level. If we can successfully implement this program, we can empower our
beautiful and unique communities to take action against the insidious disease of
crystal methamphetamine.
I will be happy to answer in further detail any questions that the Council might
have with regards to these funds to help our Island with ICE. Again, thank you
for the opportunity to respond to questions raised by the Hawaii County Council.
Sincerely,
Billy Ken i
Cc: Mayor Harry Kim
The Hawaii Island Meth Initiative
I. Mission Statement
The mission of the Hawaii Island Meth Initiative is to have everyone working
together to heal our island from the harmful effects of ICE. The goal is to ensure
that Hawaii Island is a healthy and safe place for our children and our families.
II. Introduction
In early 2001, Mayor Harry Kim declared a war on the drug crystal
methamphetamine or ICE. "It scares me ... this is going to take all of us
collectively to literally declare war on this drug". Mayor Kim noted that "war' is an
ugly word, "I've got to use an ugly word because this is an ugly situation".
In August of 2001, Mayor Kim met with U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye, Family
Court Judge Ben Gaddis, Police Chief James Correa, Prosecuting Attorney Jay
Kimura, Child Welfare Services Supervisor Stewart Maeda and Child Protection
Services Supervisor Peggy Hilton. At this meeting, Senator Inouye challenged
Mayor Kim to come up with a strategy to address this problem that threatened
Hawaii's future. Senator Inouye stated that he needed data and statistics to take
back to Washington D.C. along with a strategic plan so that he could convince
his colleagues to support a program for Hawaii Island. Senator Inouye made it
clear that the briefing was informative and alarming and that something needed
to be done about it.
In October of 2001, Mayor Kim assigned this initiative to his new executive
assistant, Billy Kenoi. As a former deputy public defender on Oahu for four years
and being born and raised on Hawaii Island, Billy was familiar with the issues
surrounding crystal methamphetamine and its devastating impact on Hawaii
Island. Aware of the complexities of substance abuse, the idea was to create a
simple and coherent strategy that would result in positive changes for our Island
community. However, this was an effort that would have to do without any initial
funding from the County or the State of Hawaii.
Hawaii in the fall of 2001 was just emerging from years of little or no economic
growth. Then, September 11, 2001 saw the worst terrorist attack on US soil in
our country's history. A tough financial and economic situation became even
tougher. Hawaii County in the fall of 2001 was staring at a projected deficit of
$7.4 million dollars after nearly 5 years of budget cuts and status quo funding.
The State of Hawaii was anticipating a shortfall of $315 million dollars and the
dire financial situation of the State required the calling of a special legislative
session. Established and worthy programs were being cut while we were moving
ahead with a new program requiring millions of dollars. Fortunately, U.S.
Senator Daniel K. Inouye had already gone back to Washington D.C. and had
made contact with the relevant federal agencies and indicated to them that in
spite of the crisis our country was in, Hawaii Island needed help with ICE.
In October of 2001, a few simple principles were established as we planned to
create a new model to address ICE. This was to be a three -pronged approach
involving public safety (enforcement), public health (treatment), and public
education and community awareness (prevention and education). We needed to
secure financial commitments prior to planning so that we did not end up going
through a year long exercise only to find ourselves back at square one, looking
for financial support for established priorities. And finally, we needed to mobilize
the entire Island. This could not be a Hilo thing or a Kona thing. This could not
be about North or South or East or West Hawaii. This disease called ICE
affected everybody and everybody needed to be involved in finding a solution.
Community groups had already begun to meet and to discuss solutions to the
problems associated with ICE. North Kohala, Kona, Waimea, and Waikoloa
were early pioneers in community mobilization. North Hawaii served as the
model for other communities to begin organizing and planning. However, in
2001, although ICE had been around for 10-15 years, many residents still did not
know much about the drug and its effects upon the community. This meant that
informational sessions and briefings had to be held in every single community
and with every single sector in each community.
The Mayor's Office (Billy Kenoi), the Prosecutor's Office (Mitch Roth), the Hawaii
County Police Department (Det. Marshall Kanehailua), and the Hawaii National
Guard (Sgt. Ha Chi) went to High, Middle, and Elementary schools, businesses,
rotary meetings, union meetings, community meetings, churches and faith
organizations, chamber of commerce organizations, and any one who was
interested in the ICE problem or just needed a speaker for their meeting or
luncheon. In addition, Gary Shimabukuro, from Laulima Hawaii, also made
multiple visits to Hawaii Island businesses, schools, and community
organizations to talk about ICE. These meetings were well attended and a lot of
information was shared, including disheartening statistics that showed Hawaii
Island with the highest rates of crystal meth abuse in the State.
How did we know that we had the highest rates of substance abuse in the state?
In providing the federal government with justification for a Hawaii Island Meth
Initiative, we had to have the data and statistics to support it. So we asked the
Hawaii County Police Department for their arrest and seizure data for the past
four years. We used the Department of Health Needs Assessment Handbook.
We asked the Big Island Substance Abuse Council for a graph on drug use
trends among those seeking treatment. Finally, the most compelling statistics
came from the youth themselves in the 2000 Hawaii Student Alcohol, Tobacco,
and Other Drug use study. This data was critical in calling attention to this crisis.
The first two priorities that were identified as being critical to addressing drugs
and substance abuse on Hawaii Island were the lack of an updated drug lab and
the lack of youth activities and programs. Senator Inouye stepped up and
immediately addressed both of those concerns. In December of 2001, Senator
Inouye submitted requests for funding for $350,000 for a drug lab and technical
assistance through the Department of Labor, Rural Development Assistance
Fund. Also, a request for $1.25 Million was earmarked for a Hawaii Island Youth
Anti -Drug program. This earmark would later evolve into the Pulama Project, a
collaborative effort that would address youth prevention issues Islandwide.
Lacking resources to implement a planning process, we were fortunate to have
been selected as one of the first sites in the United States to host a
Methamphetamine Summit that was sponsored by the Drug Enforcement
Administration and the National Crime Prevention Council. Again, Senator
Inouye and his staff were instrumental in coordinating this planning process and
securing the appearance of DEA Administrator Asa Hutchinson and NCPC CEO
Jim Copple to come to Hawaii Island. This was the beginning of Meth Summit I.
Originally planned for 150-200 participants, we realized that we had that many at
one ICE meeting. We requested and received permission for 350 participants.
Unfortunately, to maintain that number we had to make it an invitation only event.
This meant that we had to be diligent in determining who to invite. The planning
group numbered 40. In this group were representatives from federal, state, and
county government as well as from business, education, faith, treatment,
enforcement, cultural groups and community representatives. Each member of
the planning group was in turn asked to submit names from their sector or from
their community. We aimed to be as balanced and as inclusive as possible.
This comprehensive strategic planning process would involve identifying the
problem, identifying solutions to the problem, identifying barriers to implementing
the solution, and finally, identifying resources to implement the solutions. The
process involved a day long conference where we randomly placed members
from different sectors at the same table to generate creative ideas and
discussions. This process resulted in over 145 recommendations being
generated. Participants were then asked to rank the recommendations
according to both importance and feasibility. In December of 2002, a
representative from the National Crime Prevention Council returned to Hawaii
Island with the survey results. The two areas that generated the most
recommendations were Youth and Treatment.
In January of 2003, Hawaii County submitted two pieces of legislation, HB 1603
and HB 1604, relating to establishing an adolescent treatment program and to
establishing a community anti-drug fund. These two bills traveled a long and
bumpy road through the legislative process, finally ending up as grants-in-aid in
the final budget bill. We are eternally grateful for the leadership of Senator
Russell Kokubun and Representative Dwight Takamine and our entire Hawaii
Island delegation for making these appropriation requests possible. In addition,
we are also appreciative to Governor Linda Lingle for signing off on this
legislation and releasing the monies to Hawaii County.
Realizing Federal and State support for this effort, it was important that Hawaii
County also contribute to the Hawaii Island Meth Initiative. This contribution
came in the allocation of bodies from the police cellblock to a new ICE Task
Force established in both East and West Hawaii. In addition, HPD also
established and ICE Hotline to ensure that calls from the community were
tracked and followed up on in a timely manner. This focus on ICE by our
enforcement community led to an unprecedented raid on 37 ICE houses and 49
vehicles island wide, making 123 arrests and seizing over 11.2 lbs. of ICE, over a
million dollars worth of crystal methamphetamines. All of this in the first six
months of 2003 and before the ICE Task Force was actually up and running.
In July of 2003, Hawaii Island was the first community to engage in an Island
wide sign waving event protesting ICE and its impact upon our children and our
families. Over 20 locations were involved with an estimated 1,500 people
participating. Kohala, Waikoloa, Kona, South Kona, Milolii, HOVE, Naalehu,
Pahala, Volcano, Mt. View, Keaau, Pahoa, Lower Puna, Hilo, Papaikou,
Pepeekeo, Laupahoehoe, Honoka'a, Waimea — everybody was involved. Some
might say that it was only standing on the side of the road and waving, that it was
merely a show and nothing more. However, everyone who was involved talked
about the power of caring, of meeting new people who were there for different
reasons but with one purpose, to rid Hawaii Island of crystal methamphetamine.
In August of 2003, the Hawaii Island Meth Summit II was held. It was only the
second site in the USA to have a follow up summit. This summit involved over
300 participants who sat with their own sector — so enforcement, treatment,
prevention, community, non -profits, education, faith, etc... all sat together and
came up with an action plan that we will hopefully fulfill in the next year. We
were fortunate to hear US Senator Inouye and US Attorney Ed Kubo commit to
Hawaii Island's success in their Meth Initiative. Congressman Case was also
present to share his commitment to this effort. Police Chief Lawrence Mahuna
and Mayor Harry Kim continued their commitment to see this through. Dr. Kevin
Kunz inspired everyone with his informational and inspirational luncheon
address. Finally, the children of Kanu O Ka Aina charter school closed the
summit with a chicken skin chant that left everyone realizing why it is we do what
we do — because our children deserve no less.
We have come far in two short years, but we have far to go. Our children are still
sent off Island, away from family and friends, for treatment. We still are not able
to offer treatment to everyone who needs it. Child Protective Services is still
seeing abused and neglected children on our Island. Our criminal justice system
is still seeing domestic violence related to ICE. Our youth are still without
positive drug-free activities. But, because we care, we will make the difference.
III. Goals & Objectives

HAWAII DRUG CONTROL STRATEGY:
A NEW BEGINNING
(Working Document)
The aim of the Hawaii Drug Control Strategy: A New Beginning is to cultivate
community capacity and improve the quality of life in the State of Hawaii by reducing
illicit drug use and underage drinking. The Strategy provides a prospectus for developing
and enhancing prevention, treatment, and drug interdiction programs. This document
serves as a framework for the State of Hawaii and will assist policymakers, community
leaders, and residents in designing and implementing community -focused, anti -substance
abuse approaches based on exemplary, research -based `best -practices' and evidence -
based outcomes.
MISSION
Our mission is to reduce hann to our community by responding to the unique prevention,
treatment, criminal justice, and law enforcement needs associated with drug distribution,
illicit drug use and underage drinking. Drawing upon government -community
partnerships, the Strategy will reduce the factors that put residents at risk for substance
abuse and increase protective factors to safeguard the people of Hawaii from the negative
consequences associated with illicit drug use and underage drinking.
GOAL
The primary goal of the Hawaii Drug Control Strategy corresponds with the National
Drug Control Policy to provide a comprehensive and integrated approach that will:
• stop illicit drug use and underage drinking before they start
• treat drug and alcohol abusers
• intervene in the distribution of illicit drugs
BENCHMARKS
The Hawaii Drug Control Strategy seeks to reduce use of illegal drugs by 10% over three
years. This benchmark applies to illicit drug use among youth (ages 12 — 17) and adults.
Concurrently, the Strategy proposes a reduction in offender recidivism (for adults) by
10%.
1
Hawaii Drug Control Strategy: A New Beginning
PRIORITIES
Prevention will be the Administration's first line of defense against illegal drug use and
underage drinking. This priority seeks to increase prevention services that teach
individuals how to avoid illegal drugs while informing them about the ensuing damage to
their health and future. Research clearly documents that parental use and/or parental
attitudes toward the use of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs correlate with adolescent
substance use. Special emphasis will be placed on improving parenting skills and family
relationships to reduce adolescent substance abuse.
In addition, community mobilization is central to any prevention initiative. Success
would not be possible without strengthening community capacity through interagency
collaboration, coalition building and networking. Such private and public efforts, bound
by unity of purpose, should demonstrate greater integration and coordination and will be
supported through training and technical assistance.
The second priority focuses on providing treatment to individuals otherwise unable to
obtain services. Greater access to treatment will be made available to initiate the process
of recovery.
Thirdly, new law enforcement policies and legislation will be proposed to reduce
offender recidivism, prohibit the sales of pre -cursor chemicals, and treat
methamphetamine law violators.
ACHIEVING OUR GOAL
The following section provides an overview of the approaches that will be implemented
to achieve the State's goal.
A. Stop Illicit Drug Use and Underage Drinking Before They Start:
Prevention and Community Mobilization
Effective drug prevention necessarily involves comprehensive community-based efforts.
The two aspects of prevention and education and community mobilization are intertwined
and yet distinct.
Community mobilization will enhance the ability of the community to more effectively
provide services and includes community and volunteer training, systematic planning,
advocacy, multi -agency coordination and collaboration, assessing services and funding,
and community team building. The starting point will be the Hawaii Drug Control
Strategy Summit, which will utilize a community-based process to foster local decision-
making through partnerships. Target areas for the Summit will highlight model drug
abuse legislation, administrative policy initiatives, funding issues, and recommendations
to improve government -community partnerships.
2
Hawaii Drug Control Strategy: A New Beginning
The prevention and education component will concentrate on information dissemination
and the provision of educational services and alternatives to illicit drug use and underage
drinking. Information dissemination will famish awareness and knowledge on the nature
and extent of substance use, abuse, and addiction, as well as the devastating effects of
drugs on individuals, families, and communities. Secondly, the strategy intends to
expand educational services and alternative activities that increase critical life and social
skills.
Key features of this approach are summarized below.
? Hawaii Drug Control Strategy Summit
The Hawaii Drug Control Strategy Summit will:
• Convene a group of key stakeholders consisting of local and State authorities to
implement a Drug Control Strategy for 2003-2006.
• Provide information from local and statewide experts about the scope of illicit
drug use, drug user profiles, risk and protective factors, types of treatment
modalities, and model community crime prevention strategies.
• Assist groups in forming and sustaining effective community and anti-drug
coalitions to combat the use of illegal drugs and underage drinking.
? Further Community Mobilization Steps
In addition, Community Mobilization will:
• Encourage coalitions to work towards reducing substance abuse among youth and
strengthen collaboration among organizations and agencies in both private and
public sectors.
• Serve as the catalyst for increased citizen participation in strategic planning.
• Advocate the design and implementation of an annual report card on illicit drug
use to assess the efforts of the Strategy by measuring changes in illicit drug use
indicators, including arrests, seizures, price, purity, treatment admissions, and
overdose deaths.
• Support culturally relevant prevention services on Hawaiian Homelands.
? Information Dissemination
Information Dissemination will focus on the following:
• Develop and implement a comprehensive Anti -Drug Media Campaign that will
use paid advertising and grassroots public outreach to educate Hawaii's families,
parents, and youth about illicit drug use and underage drinking and their
consequences.
Implement targeted, high impact media messages to reduce illicit drug use and
underage drinking by changing attitudes towards drugs and alcohol.
Test anti-drug television marketing for effectiveness prior to airing; modify the
media campaign to focus primarily on the prevention of underage drinking and
marijuana and crystal methamphetamine use; and develop a hard-hitting, effective
ad style.
Hawaii Drug Control Strategy: A New Beginning
• Use student and teen publications and public service announcements, including
magazines, radio spots, and television commercials to highlight anti-drug
advertisements.
• Distribute anti -methamphetamine brochures or flyers to residents and community
groups.
• Coordinate with award-winning local filmmaker Edgy Lee and producer Jeffery
Mueller on the debut of their new film, which reveals the severity of the crystal
methamphetamine or "ice" epidemic in Hawaii.
• Distribute prevention materials including videotapes and workbooks to targeted
schools in `high-risk' neighborhoods.
• Synthesize data from all available sources to better document local drug
problems.
• Investigate new strategies to evaluate program effectiveness in order to better
distribute federal and state funds for prevention, treatment, and drug interdiction
programs, and adhere to the best and most effective practices in service structure
and delivery.
? Educational Services and Alternatives
Educational Services and Alternatives will focus on the following:
• Expand and enhance anti-drug curriculum in local schools.
• Enhance mentorship programs and other services that are gender specific,
culturally relevant, and developmentally appropriate.
• Increase alternative activities for youth with an emphasis on recreation, arts,
music, etc.
• Provide drug testing, assessment, referral, and interventions to targeted schools.
• Train parents to reduce drug abuse and form parent drug prevention groups.
• Design and implement strategies that will enhance family cohesion by
encouraging family involvement in prevention services.
• Support the development and implementation of a charter school designed
specifically for at -risk youth.
• Support research collaborations with public health organizations and the
University of Hawaii to embark on new initiatives to advance treatment and
prevention.
B. Treat Hawaii's Drug and Alcohol Abusers
The overall goal of treatment is to reduce or eliminate the use of alcohol and/or other
drugs as a contributing factor to physical, psychological, and social dysfunction and to
arrest, retard, or reverse progress of associated problems. (Institute of Medicine,
Broadening the Base of Treatment for Alcohol Problems, 1990)
The treatment approach will:
• Enhance treatment options for methamphetamine users and expand current
residential and outpatient treatment capacity for adolescents.
4
Hawaii Drug Control Strategy: A New Beginning
• Work closely with the Hawaii State Judiciary and the Department of Public Safety
in designing and implementing a model for the treatment and supervision of
addicted offenders.
• Enhance existing drug court programs to include specific services for drug and
alcohol abusers with co -existing disorders.
• Partner with local treatment providers to assist with training on a variety of topics,
including the dynamics of methamphetamine use, common side effects, and
methods for recovery and how they may differ depending on a person's drug of
choice.
• Initiate gender -specific, developmentally sensitive, and criminal justice
appropriate substance abuse treatment for youthful offenders at the Hawaii Youth
Correctional Facility and the Detention Center.
• Expand and enhance adult and adolescent mental health services for drug and
alcohol abusers with co -existing disorders.
• Complete a master plan for the development of a Secure Treatment Facility and
re-entry services for addicted sentenced felons.
• Develop specific program models for treating methamphetamine abusers.
• Design evaluation protocols to measure the effectiveness of treatment.
C. Disrupt the Distribution of Illicit Drugs: Law Enforcement
Law enforcement serves as the gatekeeper of the criminal justice processes of arrest,
prosecution, incarceration, and court -mandated conditions of probation and parole, used
to distinguish users and addicts from dealers and producers. Law enforcement and
criminal justice must be linked to community -wide drug prevention efforts, targeting
youths and families in rural as well as urban communities. They must be attentive to
issues of access to treatment (both community-based and corrections -based), and they
must provide the measured criminal justice sanctions that will help drug abusers seek
treatment and achieve successful outcomes. (Adapted from Methamphetamine
Interagency Task Force—Final Report: Federal Advisory Committee, 2000)
The Law Enforcement approach will include the following:
• Evaluate local sales practices and current legislation regarding pre -cursor
chemicals.
• Enact legislation or regulations prohibiting the sale of pre -cursor chemicals,
including ephedrine and pseudoephedrine.
• Garner support and resources for various law enforcement agencies.
• Work closely with non -law enforcement agencies such as the Department of
Health, local hospitals, child and family services, hotel associations, and others
who can make a significant impact on identifying, reporting, and addressing
methamphetamine problems.
• Enlist the community in the fight against illicit drug use and underage drinking.
• Enhance citizen patrols and Neighborhood Watch programs.
• Draft and implement clear and definitive legislation that mandates decisive
consequences for drug offenders and severe consequences for drug dealers.
Hawaii Drug Control Strategy: A New Beginning
CONCLUSION
A clear focus is imperative to enable decisions that can be made without compromising
the integrity of the effort and that will result in a sound plan that is consistent in form and
spirit. This working document is just the first step. Its principles will lay the groundwork
to develop a comprehensive and integrated approach to reduce substance abuse and
underage drinking throughout the State of Hawaii.
The Hawaii Drug Control Strategy: A New Beginning incorporates the most recent
research on substance abuse prevention, treatment, and interdiction and outlines a plan of
action. Ultimately, the success of the Strategy depends on Hawaii's residents working
with government officials and human service agencies to identify and respond to the
needs of their communities.

2000 ANNUAL REPORT
THE NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL STRATEGY
TODAWs ACTION
Today, ONDCP Director John Walters will unveil the President's new National Drug Control Strategy for 2003 focusing on
three core priorities: stopping drug use before it starts, healing America's drug users and disrupting the market.
➢ The 2003 strategy reports progress toward meeting the President's goals of reducing drug use by 10 percent over two
years, and 25 percent over five years, highlighted by reductions in drug use among young people for the first time in
nearly a decade.
➢ The 2003 strategy also highlights a new treatment initiative funded with $600 million over three years to help addicted
Americans find needed treatment and support services from the most effective programs, including faith -based and
community-based organizations.
Key Points on the National Drug Control Strati
The strategy proposes a fiscal year 2004 budget of $11.7 billion for drug control serving three core priorities:
0 Stopping drug use before it starts
0 Healing America's drug users
0 Disrupting the market
0 Stopping Drug Use Before It Starts: Continuing the initial reductions in drug use by young people will require action
by all Americans through education and community involvement. In homes, schools, places of worship, the workplace,
and civic and social organizations, Americans must set standards that reaffirm the values of responsibility and good
citizenship while dismissing the image that drug use is consistent with individual freedom. America's children must
learn from an early age that avoiding drug use is an expectation and lifelong responsibility.
➢ The strategy ties national leadership with community -level action to help recreate the formula that has helped
America succeed against drugs in the past. The President's budget backs up this goal with a $10 million increase
in funding for the expanded Drug -Free Communities Support Program, along with providing $5 million for a new
Parents Drug Corps.
➢ In fiscal year, 2004, the strategy proposes that tools such as student drug testing be available in communities
where parents and educators deem them appropriate, and funds them with $8 million.
0 Healing America's Drug Users: Despite substantial drug prevention efforts, some 16 million Americans still use drugs
on a monthly basis, and roughly six million meet the clinical criteria for needing drug treatment. Yet the overwhelming
majority of users in need of drug treatment fail to recognize their need. The second core priority of the strategy
emphasizes the crucial need for family, friends, and former addicts to intercede with and support those fighting to
overcome substance abuse. Drug users also need the support of institutions and the people who run them—
employers, law enforcement agencies, faith -based and community-based organizations, and health care providers,
among others—to help them recognize their drug addiction and to seek treatment.
➢ Overall, for 2004, the Administration proposes $3.6 billion for drug treatment, an increase of 8.2 percent over 2003.
➢ The 2004 request includes new funding of $200 million ($600 million over three years) for a new treatment initiative
to provide drug treatment to individuals otherwise unable to obtain access to services. People in need of treatment,
no matter where they are—emergency rooms, health clinics, the criminal justice system, schools—will receive an
evidence -based assessment of their treatment need and will be issued vouchers to obtain help at effective
treatment organizations, including faith -based and community-based organizations.

Q Disrupting the Market: The third priority of the strategy seeks to capitalize on the engagement of producer and transit
countries like Colombia and Mexico in order to address the drug trade as a business—one that faces numerous and
often overlooked obstacles that may be used as pressure points. The drug trade is not an unstoppable force of nature
but rather a profit-making enterprise where costs and rewards exist in an equilibrium that can be disrupted. Every
action that makes the drug trade more costly and less profitable is a step toward "breaking" the market. Drug traffickers
are in business to make money. We intend to deny them that revenue.
➢ To help secure America's borders, the President's budget includes $2.1 billion for drug interdiction, an increase of
7.3 percent from 2003. Internationally, the Administration will continue to target the supply of illegal drugs in the
source countries.
➢ The Administration is requesting $731 million in dedicated funds in 2004 for the Andean Counterdrug Initiative to be
applied in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela.
➢ To ensure unity of effort, the strategy advocates the use of a single list (the Consolidated Priority Organization
Targeting list) identifying high-level targets among the various agencies involved in domestic drug law enforcement.
Q Progress Toward The President's Two. and Five -Year Goals: Only the first year of the two-year goal period has
elapsed, yet already the goal of reducing current drug use by 10 percent among 8th, 10th, and 12th graders, as
measured by the Monitoring the Future survey, is well on the way to being met (with reductions of 11. 1, 8.4, and 1.2
percent respectively). Adjustments to the measuring baseline for the goals have been prompted by discontinuities in
the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA). As a result, the goal of reducing drug use among adults will
still be measured by the NHSDA, but the baseline has been reset to the 2002 survey, which is not released until mid-
year 2003.
