- Description:
- Congressman Joseph P. Addabbo is alarmed by the United States Army's anti-drug program, which he believes is actually encouraging servicemen to use illegal drugs. He is demanding drastic changes in the education programs after a sub-committee investigation revealed that many GIs were using drug rehabilitation programs to avoid punishment, and that unqualified counselors were mishandling their work. Addabbo wants qualified counselors and officers held responsible for drug involvement within their units.
