Alcohol is the most commonly used addictive substance in the United States, according to the proclamation. More than 17 million people or one in every 12 adults suffer from alcohol abuse or de- pendence and more than half of all adults have a family history of alco- holism or problems with drinking. Additionally, many teenagers are exposed to alcohol in every day life. The proclamation states the typical American will see 100,000 beer com- mercials before he or she turns 18 years old. "Young people who be- gin drinking before the age of 15 are four times more likely to develop al- cohol dependence than those who begin drinking at age 21," Gehrung said. "Together we can pro- vide hope, help and heal- ing for individuals and families coping with the challenges of alcoholism and abuse, the document states."

Vacancies FROM PAGE 1 POLITICS SUSAN WALSH — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump waves as he gets into his vehicle in Washington on Thursday following a meeting at the Republican National Committee. By Jill Colvin The Associated Press APPLETON, WIS. It was a question sure to come up at some point in the Republi- can primary campaign. "What should the law be on abortion?" asked MS- NBC's Chris Matthews to Donald Trump at a town hall event in Wisconsin. "Should the woman be punished for having an abortion?" Matthews pressed. "This is not some- thing you can dodge." Trump's bungled re- sponse — an awkward, ex- tended attempt to evade the question, followed by an answer that, yes, "there has to be some form of pun- ishment" — prompted a backlash that managed to unite abortion rights ac- tivists and opponents. And it also brought an unprec- edented reversal from the notoriously unapologetic candidate less than a week before Wisconsin's impor- tant primary. The episode demon- strated the extent to which Trump has glossed over the rigorous policy preparation that is fundamental to most presidential campaigns, un- derscoring the risks of the billionaire businessman's winging-it approach as he inches closer to the Repub- lican nomination. "Well, bear in mind I don't believe that he was warned that that question was coming" and didn't have a chance to really think about it, said Ben Carson, a former Trump ri- val who has since endorsed him, in an interview with CNN. He should have, said po- litical professionals. "When you're just wing- ing it, that's what happens," said Kevin Madden, a vet- eran of 2012 nominee Mitt Romney's campaign. "Run- ning for president, it's not a take-home exam." And this wasn't the first time Trump's approach has gotten him in trouble. He raised eyebrows dur- ing a debate when he ap- peared unfamiliar with the concept of the nuclear triad, an oversight his op- ponents happily pointed out. At a town hall on CNN earlier this week, Trump appeared to falter when asked to name what he be- lieved were the top three priorities of the federal gov- ernment. Among his an- swers: health care and ed- ucation. Trump has vowed to repeal President Barack Obama's landmark health care law and gut the bud- get of the Department of Education. The lack of preparation extends beyond policy. This week, Trump called into a series of radio stations in Wisconsin, apparently un- aware the interviews were likely to be combative. At the end of a remark- able interview in which he compared Trump's behav- ior to that of "a 12-year-old bully on the playground," WTMJ-AM's Charlie Sykes asked Trump if he was aware he'd called into someone unabashedly op- posed to his candidacy. "That I didn't know," Trump said. During a recent rally in Vienna, Ohio, Trump de- livered his usual indict- ment of the North Ameri- can Free Trade Agreement and blasted American com- panies that have shipped jobs overseas. But he seemed unaware that Chevrolet, which builds the Chevy Cruze se- dan in nearby Lordstown, had recently announced that it was planning to build its 2017 hatchback model in Mexico. It was the kind of local knowledge that requires research and legwork, and could have helped Trump connect with his audience and others in the state. Trump's abortion flub shows risks of 'winging it' on policy By Bradley Klapper and Matthew Lee The Associated Press WASHINGTON The Obama administration is consider- ing easing financial restric- tions that prohibit U.S. dol- lars from being used in transactions with Iran, U.S. officials said. Angry law- makers countered that Teh- ran would be getting more than it deserves from last year's nuclear accord. While no final decision has been made, officials told The Associated Press the Treasury Department has prepared a general li- cense permitting offshore financial institutions to ac- cess dollars for foreign cur- rency trades in support of legitimate business with Iran, a practice that is cur- rently illegal. Several restrictions would apply, but the change could prove significant for Iran's sanctions-battered economy. It also would be highly contentious in the United States, where Re- publican and some Dem- ocratic lawmakers say the administration promised to maintain a strict ban on dollars along with other non-nuclear penalties on Iran after last July's seven- nation nuclear agreement. "These reports are deeply concerning, to say the least," House Speaker Paul Ryan said Thursday in a statement. "As Iran contin- ues to undermine the spirit of its nuclear agreement with illicit ballistic missile tests, the Obama adminis- tration is going out of its way to help Tehran reopen for business. The president should abandon this idea." The nuclear pact pro- vided Iran with billions of dollars in sanctions relief for curtailing programs that could lead to nuclear weapons. But the Iranians say they haven't benefited to the extent envisioned under the deal because of other U.S. measures linked to human rights, terrorism and missile development concerns. Because of its status as the world's dominant cur- rency, the dollar often is used in money conversions. For example: If the Iranians want to sell oil to India and be paid in euros instead of rupees, so they could more easily purchase European goods, the process com- monly starts with the ru- pees being converted into dollars. American sanctions block Iran from exchang- ing the money on its own. And Asian and European banks are wary because U.S. regulators have levied billions of dollars in fines in recent years and threat- ened transgressors with a cutoff from the far more lu- crative American market. Using dollars to make even a rupees-to-euros conver- sion, following that exam- ple, would still involve the money entering the U.S. fi- nancial system, if only mo- mentarily. The new guidance would allow dollars to be used in currency exchanges as long as no Iranian banks are in- volved, according to the of- ficials, who weren't autho- rized to speak publicly on the matter and demanded anonymity. No Iranian ri- als can enter into the trans- action, and the payment wouldn't be able to start or end with American dollars. The ban would still apply if the final payment is in- tended for an Iranian indi- vidual or business on a U.S. sanctions blacklist. Top administration of- ficials have only hinted at providing Iran additional help. "We do believe that they are complying" with the nu- clear accord, Ben Rhodes, President Barack Obama's deputy national security ad- viser, told reporters Thurs- day. "Ballistic missiles, sup- port for terrorism, desta- bilizing activities in the region, that's not the nu- clear deal," Rhodes said.
