1 would like to extend my warm congratulations to

Busters" on May 3rd. How happy I was to know that
all of you are focusing attention of this tragic
problem facing our nation today.
In my travels over the past few years, I have met
with countless young people, and become more con-
vinced than ever that no area of society has been
left untouched by this growing menace. For that
reason, we must all join together, each doing what
we can in our own towns and communities, to help
eradicate drug and alcohol abuse once and for all.
Together we can make a difference. You have my
heartfelt thanks for what you are doing, and my
very best wishes for continued success.
Sincerely,
Nancy Reagan

Pesticide Regulations, as follows:
the Auditorium
6-86, regarding
At the July 30, 1986 City Council meeting, the sub-
ject of cities regulating the application of pesti-
cides on private property was referred to the
Auditorium and Community Services Committee for
evaluation.
Staff has surveyed six California cities, the
National League of Cities, and the League of
California Cities. The National and Calfiornia
League had no information, and the cities surveyed
do not regulate the homeowners in their application
to pesticides. Regulation is the responsibility of
the State Departments of Food and Drug, Health, and
Agriculture. Local agencies enforcing the misuse
of pesticides are the Kern County Health Department
and the County Agriculture Commissioner.

of Bakersfield continue to rely on the State and
local County agencies for regulating and enforcing
