RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that efforts to combat
drug trafficking and drug abuse should be funded for fiscal year 1990 at
the levels authorized in the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988.
Whereas drug trafficking and drug abuse are a matter of growing concern in
the United States;
Whereas the availability of cocaine, particularly the new and frightening
cocaine derivative called `crack', has heightened that concern;
Whereas a very large portion of the violence in the streets in the United
States can be traced to drug trafficking and drug abuse;
Whereas the production of, and trafficking in, drugs are growing, and estimates
made by the Federal Government show that such production and trafficking
will skyrocket with no significant decrease predicted for the near future;
Whereas preventing drug abuse before it starts through education is essential
to solving the drug abuse problem; and
Whereas the estimated annual cost of drug trafficking and abuse to the economy
of the United States is tens of billions of dollars: Now, therefore, be it
  Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that efforts
  to combat drug trafficking and drug abuse are a serious national priority
  and, to the maximum extent possible, should be funded for fiscal year
  1990 at the levels authorized in the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (Public
  Law 100-690).
