CREATION OF A MULTILATERAL COUNTER-DRUG STRIKE FORCE

SEC. 1010. CREATION OF A MULTILATERAL COUNTER-DRUG STRIKE FORCE (a) Findings.— Congress makes the following findings: (1) Congress has in the past sought approval for a multilateral strike force dedicated to the war on drugs. (2) The proposal by the Prime Minister of Jamaica for the creation of a multilateral, international counter-drug strike force is the first operative proposal for the use of a multilateral force against the drug cartels in Latin America by a government leader in the Western Hemisphere and should be given serious consideration. (b) Sense of the Congress.— It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the Prime Minister of Jamaica is to be commended for his proposal; (2) the President should call for international negotiations for the purpose of discussing the establishment of an international strike force to counter international drug traffickers; and (3) the United States should work through the United Nations and other multilateral organizations to determine the feasibility of establishing and using a force and should assist in the establishment of such a force if the President determines the proposal to be feasible.
