Executive Order 12911 of April 25, 1994
Seal for the Office of National Drug Control
Policy
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. There is approved for the Office of National
Drug Control Policy in the Executive Office of the
President an official seal described as follows:
On a blue disc the Arms of the United States proper
above a curved gold scroll inscribed “OFFICE OF
NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY” in blue letters, all
within a white border edged in gold and inscribed
“EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES” in blue letters.
This design is appropriate for the Office of
National Drug Control Policy. The dark blue in this
seal is suggested by the Seal of the President and
denotes the direct organizational link of the Office of
National Drug Control Policy with the Presidential
office. The Arms of the United States refer to the
entire Nation and represent the involvement in drug
control policies that are necessary to assist the
President in his role as Chief Executive of the United
States.
Sec. 2. The seal shall be of the design that is
attached hereto and made a part of this order.
