H.R. 1213 90TH CONGRESS 2d Session } HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES { No. 1214 REPORT APPROVING REORGANIZATION PLAN NO. 1 OF 1968 (DRUG ABUSE AND NARCOTICS) MARCH 27, 1968.-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union and ordered to be printed Mr. DAWSON, from the Committee on Government Operations, submitted the following REPORT together with MINORITY VIEWS [To accompany H. Res. 1101] The Committee on Government Operations, to whom was referred the resolution (H. Res. 1101) to disapprove Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1968, having considered the same, report unfavorably thereon and recommend that the resolution do not pass. PURPOSE OF REORGANIZATION PLAN NO. 1 OF 1968 Reorganization Plan No. 1 transfers to the Department of Justice the administration of the narcotics laws now carried out by the Bureau of Narcotics under the Secretary of the Treasury and the administration of the drug abuse laws now carried out by the Bureau of Drug Abuse Control under the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. These two bureaus will be joined together in a new Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs in the Department of Justice, reporting directly to the Office of the Attorney General. Narcotics laws deal generally with marihuana and the addictive narcotics such as opium and heroin. Drug abuse laws deal generally with stimulants, depressants, and hallucinogenics such as LSD. There has been increasing concern about the growing social and criminal problems, particularly among young people, that have developed from the use and abuse of narcotics and dangerous drugs. Organized crime is known to be a potent force in this spreading evil. Inasmuch as there is a close relationship between the control of narcotics and dangerous drugs, this plan is designed to produce more effective administration and enforcement of the laws by joining these two programs together, creating a new and strengthened office and placing it in the Department of Justice-the major law enforcement agency of the Government. As stated by the President, the new Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs will Consolidate the authority and preserve the experience_and manpower of the Bureau of Narcotics and the Bureau of Drug Abuse Control; Work with States and local governments in their crackdown on illegal trade in drugs and narcotics, and help to train local agents and investigators; Maintain worldwide operations, working closely with other nations, to suppress the trade in illicit narcotics and marihuana: and Conduct an extensive campaign of research and a nationwide. public education program on drug abuse and its tragic effects.
