This policy will now come under review because of the following example. On 11 May this newspaper published six LTEs (URLs below) in a group with the following note from the newspaper's editor at the top of the group of letters: Editor's note: The following are letters in response to U.S. Rep. Joe Barton's commentary on Tuesday about drug testing for members of Congress. Many of the letters we have received come from people who subscribe to the Media Awareness Project, a nonprofit e-mail news service that culls information from around the world pertaining to issues of drug policy reform. For more information, visit the group's Web site ( www.mapinc.org ). ~~~~~ The editor's note resulted in another PUB LTE: US TX: PUB LTE: Internet Site Shows The Truth URL: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v00/n691/a13.html The six PUB LTEs which were printed below the editors note are: US TX: PUB LTE: Mandating Drug Testing For Congress Is Un-American URL: http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v00/n653/a12.html US TX: PUB LTE: Why Stop At Merely Testing For Drugs?
