The president spoke at a memorial ceremony for police officers and others who have lost their lives in the line of duty while investigating illegal drug trafficking "Six months ago I sent to Congress legislation which says that when narcotics racketeers kill and are convicted they will face execution." Reagan said He said the House approved similar legislation in I98S. but neither the House nor Senate judiciary committees has taken up his measure this year. "It is time to back up the rhetoric on the drug problem ith action, and I rail on the House and Senate io vote promptly on my hill providing for.

Capital punishment when a death results from drug dealing and when a Drug Enforcement Administration or other law nforcemenl officer is murdered," the president said "When drug syndicates commit murder, our sympathy should be with the victims, not the killers," he said. "It's time for us to send our own message to people ho kill cops." Reagan also said that liberal politicians and others who took a permissive attitude toward drugs in the 1960s share the blame for the deaths of officers enforcing the drug laws now, "Some liberal politicians decried our restrictions on drugs as conservative, moralistic, reactionary and old fashioned, or simply remained silent that there even was a drug problem." he said "Many universities adopted a ha mis -off atti-tude toward so-called recreational drug use, and the entertainment industry produced films and music that promoted and legitimized drug use." Reagan said "The truth was that drugs are killers hut for" nearly a generation thu vital message was ig nored by a whole group of people who should have known better."
