<P class=black_content>We have also worked with House and Senate staff on drug free workplace issues. Some years ago, then Speaker Newt Gingrich requested that TWG develop an implementation plan to drug-test members and staff of the House of Representatives as is required by House Rule #1, Sec. 9. A plan was developed and delivered to the Speaker, however, the program has yet to be implemented. Dr. Walsh has testified many times before various committees of both the House and Senate.</P>

These activities were supported by grants from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA].Reports from this study have been widely distributed and are considered seminal references on state DUID laws.</span></p>
