Sec. 1522. Purposes

    The purposes of this subchapter are--
        (1) to reduce substance abuse among youth in communities

    abuse among adults;
        (2) to strengthen collaboration among communities, the Federal 
    Government, and State, local, and tribal governments;
        (3) to enhance intergovernmental cooperation and coordination on 
    the issue of substance abuse among youth;
        (4) to serve as a catalyst for increased citizen participation 
    and greater collaboration among all sectors and organizations of a 
    community that first demonstrates a long-term commitment to reducing 
    substance abuse among youth;
        (5) to rechannel resources from the fiscal year 1998 Federal 
    drug control budget to provide technical assistance, guidance, and 
    financial support to communities that demonstrate a long-term 
    commitment in reducing substance abuse among youth;
        (6) to disseminate to communities timely information regarding 
    the state-of-the-art practices and initiatives that have proven to 
    be effective in reducing substance abuse among youth;
        (7) to enhance, not supplant, local community initiatives for 
    reducing substance abuse among youth; and
        (8) to encourage the creation of and support for community anti-
    drug coalitions throughout the United States.
