HATCH MAKES CAMEO IN RACY DRUG MOVIE

SALT LAKE CITY - Sen. Orrin Hatch, long a critic of violence in Hollywood,
has a cameo in the new Michael Douglas movie "Traffic," which includes
nudity, sex, drug use and profane language.

"I'm glad I did it" the Utah Republican said.

The R- rated movie, which has received high praise from critics, has an
antidrug message.

"I don't see how they could have made it without violence and still
accurately portray the drug culture - and how degrading it is," Hatch told
the Desert News.

"For adults who really need to know what kids are getting into, it's OK to
see the movie."

Hatch has a bit part in a scene in which Douglas, playing a man nominated
to become the nation's drug czar, is talking to senators at a Georgetown
party. Hatch tells him what he thinks a drug czar ought to do.
