SUBJECI: Request for Comments: "International
Narcotics Control Commission"
1. Attached for your review and comment please find a copy
of a provision to create an "International Narcotics Control
Commission". This provision was added by Senator Paula Hawkins
as a floor amendment during Senate consideration of H.R. 2068,
the authorization bill for the Department of State and related
agencies. H.R. 2068 subsequently passed the Senate and the
Senate has asked for a conference with the House to reconcile
the differences between the two versions. The conference has
not been scheduled as yet, but it will likely be in the near
future.
2. On its face, the provision would appear to have no .
direct effect on intelligence activities. I do note, however,
that the purposes of the Commission are, inter alia, to
"monitor compliance with narcotics control treaties
including...narco-terrorisr" and "monitor...the United States
Government...programs seeking to expand international
cooperation against...narcotics trafficing".
3. The Commission is composed of-representativee from the
Executive and Legislative Branches and is vested with subpoena
power.
4. I would appreciate receiving your comments by 21 June
1985.

June 11, 1985 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD SENATE
Mr. DoLE. Mr. President, I suggest
the absence of ? quorum.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
clerk will call the roll.
The bill clerk proceeded to call the
roll.
Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that the order for
the quorum call be rescinded.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. With-
out objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I have a
question that I wish to ask of the dis-
tinguished manager Or managers.
As I recall, the request for $4 billion
In humanitarian assistance for the
Contras was initially made in the
spring or summer a year ago. I believe
that is correct.
- My question is, if $14 million was id-
Ually requested for the entire fiscal
year 1985. which will have run its
course as of September 30, this year,
why is the same amount of money
needed for the remainder of this fiscal
year, keeping in mind that by the time
this bill is finally enacted, only July,
August, and September will remain in
this fiscal year? Since $14 million was
orginally requested for the whole year,
why could not that amount of money
be pro rata reduced for the remaining
3 months?
Mr. LUGAR. I would like to respond
to the distinguished minority leader
that indeed he is correct. The $14 mil-
lion originally contemplated for the
fiscal year was passed over at the be-
ginning of the year, and we would be
through it by the time of the potential
passage of this bill. Of course, the bill
that the Senate passed last year bad
$21 million for the fiscal year.
I think the only answer that can be
given is the $14 million originally isa
relatively small sum, given the num-
bers of persons involved. The Contras
may or may not be as many as 10,000
or 20,000. These are estimates that are
often given by observers in the field.
Divided by that number of persons or
even a fraction of them, $14 million
for humanitarian assistance?food,
clothing, shelter, and other aid of that
variety?will be rapidly dissipated. The
$14 million, I presume, was not
changed by the authors of the legisla-
tion largely because it has become a
figure which is familiar to the Senate
and the House, one which we have
voted on in the past, and there was re-
sistance, as the minority leader will
recall, in the House to $14 million.
I expect in a tactical sense the
thought of going beyond that sum at
this time now seems advisable as we
get another revisiting of the problem,
thinking about It for another year.
with the sum increasing to $24 million.
I think the direct answer is there is
no technical reason for the $14 million
specifically for either the year Or the 3
months. It simply is that that was the
residue of the earlier debate taken up
again and revisited on this occasion.
Mr. BYRD. Mr. President. I thank
the distinguished manager of the bill.
'Can we get the information in the
RECORD before we vote? We should
have something from the administra-
tion that would indicate why the origi-
nal request for $14 million for an
entire year remains at $14 million even
after three-fourths of the fiscal year
has gone by.
Mr. LUGAR. I will respond that I
will make that request immediately to
administration spokesmen. During the
course of the afternoon. I am hopeful
they might forward to us information
that will give us a satisfactory answer.
Mr. BYRD. I thank the manger of
the bill. I yield the floor.
Mr. LUGAR. Mr. President, I sug-
gest the absence of a quorum.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The
clerk will call the roll.
The assistant legislative clerk pro-
ceeded to call the roll.
Mr. LUGAR. Mr. President, I ask
unanimous consent that the order for
the quorum call be rescinded.

from Idaho, have to be set aside in

the Senator from Florida to present

established in this amendment may be

arena to hat drug abase and drug
tralf .
Mr. President. I urge the adoption of
the amendment sad applaud Senator
HAWKINS for her initiative and pessist-
ence in this miner.
Kr. BIDER Kr. President, I support
the concept at no International Nar-
cotics Control Constrdssion to encour-
age cooperation on the important
issue of international narcotics con-
trol. Five years ago in my report enti-
tled. "The Sicilian Connection: South-
west Asian Heroin En Route to the
United States" I stressed the need for
greater bilateral sad multinational co-
operation in dealing with the interna-
tional problem of drug abuse. My
report clearly stated the need to bring
this tragic issue to a higher level of
international concern. Therefore, to
this context I believe the Commission
could provide a very useful service.
There are several issues that I would
like to be considered as part of the leg-
islative record on this amendment that
will not be directly reflected in the
statutory language. With regard to the
membership of the Commission, I be-
lieve ft is essential that the congres-
shoal Members be chosen based on
their committee assigranents and ex-
pertise on foreign relations and inter-
national narcotics matters. This
should certainly be the case with
regard to the Chairman and Cochair-
man. Additionally, if the Commission
is to truly serve a useful purpose to
The international community, the five
public members should be known ex-
perts/leaders in this subject area and
not political appointments made
simply to pay off some favor. These in-
dividuals should be recognised
throughout the international commu-
nity for their work in promoting bilat-
eral and multilateral cooperation in
stemming drug abuse and narcotics
trafficInrig throughout the world.
It is equally traportent that the pro-
posed member from the Department
of Justice be the Attorney General,
which, under legislation Included In
the crime package last year, makes
him the Chairman of the National
Drug Enforcement Policy Board. Ris
role as Chairman of this Board is to
serve as the individual Congress and
the American people wlil look to as
the primary adviser to the President
and Congress on national and interna-
tional antidrug programs. I am glad
that the Senator from Monde egrets
that he be a member of this Connnis-
glen.
It is important that the activities of
this Commission reflect a consistent
position of the Congress and particu-
larly those congressional committees
most responsible for oversight of nar-
cotics enforcement and international
drug trafficking. It would be extreme-
ly damagke to our international drug
abase strategy if the Ccensalinten was
viewed as duplicative or sending mixed
signals abroad as to the U.S. drug
policy.
I do believe that the Coramasion eon
provide a stronger voice to the interna-
tional emanainity oa the issue of drug
abuse. However, I would hope that hi
the final agreement reached in the
House and Senate einderence, that
these concerns stared by myself and
others be considered.
Mr. LUGAR. Mr. President, I com-
mend the distingibhed Senator from
Florida tar this amendment and equal-
ly for the strong said vigorous leader-
ship she has given In the fight against
drug abuse In this country and inter-
nationally. She has been outspoken,
she has been courageous and, in my
judgment, she his been highly effec-
tive.

tends that record of servtce. On our
side, we are prepared to accept the
amendment.
