Republicans Take Credit for "Heroin Awakening"

WASHINGTON, DC ­ Washington Times; October 29, 1998, pA20 ­ In a commentary, Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.), chairman of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, and Rep. Benjamin A. Gilman (R-N.Y.), chairman of the House International Relations Committee, allege that the Republican-controlled Congress has finally forced a disinterested Clinton administration to address the nation's heroin crisis.

Despite arguments by drug czar Barry McCaffrey and the State Department, Congress recently approved a proposal to provide more funding for efforts aimed at fighting the drug trade in source countries long before the drugs have a chance to reach American streets­a strategy that some law enforcement officials believe is the
only way to effectively fight the drug trade.

The opposition represented by McCaffrey and Albright has been based on the contention that Congress was attempting to "micro-manage" the Clinton administration's counter-narcotics program, but the authors believe the program has been floundering, especially given that first-time heroin use among U.S. teenagers has risen 875% since Clinton took office. And, poppy production in Columbia has increased from 6,000 hectares to 9,000 hectares over the last few years.
