To the Editor.
The Committee on Adolescence and its adjunctive committees' recently published statement (Pediatrics 1989;84:396-398) concerning drug screening, of signal importance in its subject and obviously earnest in its intent, is somewhat disappointing in its content. With respect to the points made as recommendations, only the first is unexceptionable; the rest appear to be illogical, or self-contradictory, or poorly stated, or aimed at reconciling irreconcilable differences among the various participants, or all of the above.
