Senator Warren G. Magnuson addresses crowd at dedication of Tacoma Narcotics Center's new halfway house on April 16, 1968. 125 state, city, and county officials attended the traditional ribbon cutting. The first of three proposed units to rehabilitate narcotics users who have already undergone successful withdrawal treatment, the three-story facility on Fawcett Avenue was funded by a half-million dollar grant from the Office of Economic Opportunity. Senator Magnuson told his listening audience that he hoped that any budget cuts in the O.E.O. would not jeopardize the program. He pledged his continued support.
