Origin of "zero tolerance" in schools

In the Clinton Presidential Library I found this memo, listing the administration's claimed successes in the gun control area.

On page two, under "Enforcing Zero Tolerance for Guns and Other Weapons in Schools," is a notation that Clinton signed the gun-free schools act, requring schools to expel anyone bringing a firearm to school, and issued a Presidential Directive to enforce that.
