preservation of a high standard of living in our country:

previously adopted by the U.S. Supreme Court thirteen years ago.
2. Encourage more cooperation between local law enforcement
agencies (i.e., county and state) and federal agencies.
3. Support the L.A. County Commission on Obscenity and Pornography
effort to develop public awareness programs that include
attention to child sexual abuse.
