ANTI-DRUG INTERNET SITES UNVEILED

By The Associated Press

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 http://www.Freevibe.com, will contain drug
prevention messages for youngsters ages 10 to 13. The site contains
graphics, games and interactivity to help viewer understand the
consequences of drug use.

The second site, on America Onlines' 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.
