RESOURCES FOR CERTAIN DRUG CONTROL ACTIVITIES.

SEC. 4803. RESOURCES FOR CERTAIN DRUG CONTROL ACTIVITIES. (a) Findings.—The Congress finds that— (1) there has been a severe, cancer-like growth of youth gangs who abuse, transport, and traffic in illegal drugs; (2) such youth gangs engage in acts of violence, often on a random basis, resulting in death or serious bodily injury to thousands of people, as well as terrorizing tens of thousands of others; (3) such youth gangs have spread their activities from southern California to more than 50 cities throughout the United States, thereby clearly indicating that the threat posed by these gangs is national in nature, requiring a strong Federal response; 102 STAT. 4295 (4) stopping drugs at the source is one of the critical elements of our Government’s war on drugs; and (5) the Airwing Operations of the Bureau of International Narcotics Matters in the Department of State is an important tool of our Government’s policy against narcotics trafficking. (b) Review.—It is, therefore, the sense of the Congress that the Director of National Drug Control Policy should review the entire drug control problem to determine priorities for new resources or shifting of existing resources, giving particular attention to— (1) planning for and assistance to the Airwing Operations of the Bureau of International Narcotics Matters in the Department of State; and (2) assistance to control the present and growing threat posed to the Nation by youth gangs which traffic in illegal drugs. (c) Additional Resources.—Based upon his findings, the Director of National Drug Control Policy should consider, as necessary, recommending significant resources in addition to those specifically allocated in this Act.
