RESIGNATION UNRELATED TO MEMBERSHIP CHANGES

I write to correct an impression created by today's article in the 
Herald that I resigned from the Australian National Council on Drugs 
because of recent changes in membership.

I wrote to Major Watters in June last year, indicating that I did not 
to seek a further three-year term on the council when my term expired 
in March this year.

I did so because of a substantial increase in the demands on my time 
as executive director of the National Drug and Alcohol Research 
Centre.
