INTERNET; WAR ON DRUGS LAUNCHES WEB SITES

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House's anti-drug office announced
Wednesday two new Internet sites where children and their parents can
get information about fighting drugs.

The first site, on ABC's www.Freevibe.com, will contain drug
prevention messages for youngsters 10 to 13 years old. The site
contains graphics, games and interactivity to help viewer understand
the consequences of drug use.

The second site, on America Online's Parents' Drug Resource Center,
gives advice to parents and adult caregivers of children in that age
group. The AOL keyword for the site is "Drug Help."

"Unlike advertising and traditional media outreach, the Internet
transcends geographic and economic boundaries and allows new
communities to come together in an interactive substantive way," said
Gen. Barry McCaffrey of the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
