The three biggest recommendations about reducing the demand for drugs – which indirectly led to workplace drug testing as a general rule that quickly became widespread – were that all federal agencies should make drug testing mandatory for any and all government employees, no matter what level they would be working at, or how sensitive the information they would have access to. In addition to this it was pointed out that no government contracts should or would be awarded to any company that did not have a complete and thorough drug policy in place and have all employees of these companies tested regularly.

A strong suggestion was made that anyone working in education should also be tested on a regular basis and made to pass a mandatory test at regular intervals to prevent the use of drugs in and around the workplace where children could potentially be exposed. Beyond that it was pushed that a policy not only needed to be in place but implemented with very strict guidelines stated clearly for any and all employees so there would be no question as to what the potential consequences of their actions would be.

The final part was the hint that any current government agencies or contractors that already had contracts and were working, but didn’t have policies in place and ready to go should be let go at the expiration of the contracts. Unless the company conformed to those guidelines they would not be given the opportunity to renew their contracts with the government.
