the War on Drugs.

*   On October 19 1996, Clinton announced that his administration will develop
*   a plan to test the urine of driver's license applicants under the age of
*   18, and he gave drug czar Barry McCaffrey 90 days to present the plan to
*   him.
*   
*   "Our message should be simple: no drugs, or no driver's license," Clinton
*   proclaimed.
*   
*   Clinton took this action in the closing weeks of the presidential race
*   after Bob Dole attacks his joking comments about marijuana on MTV.
*   
*   The plan will likely require federal legislation, probably making highway
*   funds contingent upon a state's implementation of the plan.
*    
*   About three million teenagers will seek driver's licenses each year and
*   therefore be tested for drugs. At a rate of one-percent false positives,
*   30,000 completely clean kids will fail their drug tests. They will be
*   denied driver's licenses. How will their parents react? Many kids are
*   likely to be emotionally scarred by the false accusations of drug use,
*   and some may even attempt suicide out of their shame.

#   Mr. Kelly had gone to the airport only TO PICK UP A FRIEND.
