Model State Drug Laws Initiative
Through this Initiative, ONDCP aims to assist policymakers and practitioners in developing comprehensive laws, policies and programs on current and emerging drug and alcohol issues facing states and localities.
Every day, the President of the United States is faced with scores of decisions, each with important consequences for America's future. To provide the President with the support that he or she needs to govern effectively, the Executive Office of the President (EOP) was created in 1939 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The EOP has responsibility for tasks ranging from communicating the President's message to the American people to promoting our trade interests abroad.
