Dear Governor Ray:
Enclosed is a copy of Resolution No. 80-119 from the Ames City Council .
I have been directed to communicate this to you and to encourage your direct
support of this legislation.
Needless to say, the consternation and pain created by drug use throughout
the country is intense. Perhaps this kind of legislation will help to
minimize the use of those who are not yet involved.
Thank you for your consideration.
Res ,
F. Paul Goodland
Mayor, City of Ames

tions .
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council for
the City of Ames, Iowa that the Iowa General Assembly is
urged to enact the Model Drug Paraphernalia Act as published
