Gen. Barry McCaffrey, the Clinton administration's di

denounced the outcomes as elaborate, heavily bank
rolled
consumer frauds designed as a foot in the door for
the legalization of drugs. Voters were inundated with false
advertising, portraying the two ballot initiatives as "tough on
crime " measures that also took a "compassionate " approach
to people suffering from deadly diseases. The multimillion
dollar
media blitz never informed voters that the measures
would, in effect, legalize drugs in those two states.I n Arizona,
the proposition was backed by the Barry Goldwater Institute,
a Mont Pelerin Society-linked think-tank with ties to the

In Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Dec.
McCaffrey, joined by Drug Enforcement Administration di

Thomas Constantine, singled out speculator George
Soros as the principal money-bags behind the slick push for
drug legalization in California and Arizona, and warned that
Soros's various tax-exempt fronts are in the process of trying

years from now, they wind up with Needle Park in downtown
Phoenix, I think we should all remember these people who
funded this proposal."
Orange County, California Sheriff Brad Gates detailed
Soros's role in the Arizona and California initiatives, and
concluded, "This was not a grassroots or a California Medical
Association issue in California; this is a few wealthy people
deciding to further their goal of legalizing drugs."
Indeed, Soros, who handles a large portion of Queen Elizabeth
II's personal investment portfolio, through his offshore
Quantum Fund, has made the legalization of drugs in the
United States one of his top "philanthropic " priorities. In
1995, Soros announced a $20 million grant to the Drug Policy
Foundation, the leading drug legalization advocacy group in
the United States (DPF officials strenuously deny that they
favor drug legalization, but at the DPF's Nov. 6-9, 1996,
Tenth International Conference on Drug Policy Reform, held
in Washington, D.C., leading DPF officials spoke candidly,
albeit behind closed doors, about their goal of total drug legalization,
including of crack cocaine). In addition, Soros created
the Lindesmith Center, at his Open Society Fund, to work
exclusively on the drug legalization effort, hiring DPF
founder Dr. Ethan Nadelman as its director.
to repeat their success in
other states.
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who chaired the hearings, be

them by saying: "Today we will hear how the philanthro
pists
of the drug legalization movement pumped millions of
dollars in out-of-state soft money into stealth campaigns de

to conceal their real objective, the legalization of
drugs."
Constantine added: "The newspaper reports indicated that
Mr. Soros had provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in
California alone to gamer support, and maybe double that
much in Arizona …. I would ask that those billionaires and
millionaires who funded this proposition be willing to pur
