Exhibit 859 ยท Legal decision
Office of National Drug Control Policy - Video News Release, B-303495
ONDCP's news stories constituted covert propaganda and violated publicity or propaganda prohibitions contained in its 2002, 2003, and 2004 appropriations acts.
Requested by Rep. Waxman and Rep. Olver. Examines eight video news releases from fiscal years 2002-2004 and finds the seven with prepackaged news stories covert propaganda because ONDCP did not identify itself; finds ONDCP's use of the term 'Drug Czar' is not unlawful self-aggrandizement; finds Antideficiency Act violations reportable.
