Reply to comment by Designer-Practice220 in TIL In 1983, Air Force One (with Reagan aboard) landed six minutes before a microburst slammed into the ground at Andrews Air Force Base, causing wind speeds to hit 149 mph. At the time, that was the fastest wind speed ever measured by an anemometer. by theotherbogart

None.

The Anti Drug legislation wasn't created by Reagan, it wasn't submitted by Reagan, and it wasn't written by Reagan. It was designed and implemented by House Democrats and Republicans. All 3 major bills were submitted by Democrats. Jim Wright (D-TX) as the major author of the 1986 mandatory minimum laws and Jamie Whitten (D-MS) did the 1984 bill.
