All the elements of the presentation were included.  You gave a clear well thought out abstract that set the scene for an excellent appraisal of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986.

The background information was complete and I liked that you tied it into a galvanizing moment with Len Bias because this was a defining event to spur this policy.
