H.R. 250. H.R. 250 would punish those countries which allow narcotic drugs to be produced and processed and which are destined for the United States. by suspending economic and military aid to such countries until they take the appropriate steps to stop the dope traffic. I am now going to expand this concept with new legislation that I am refining which would do two things: First. the legislation would prohibit the issuance of visas to Americans who wish to visit those countries that have been identified as opium producers or processors. Second. my legislation would prohibit the immigration of residents from these countries into the United States. I am certain that this approach would provide the incentive to the governments involved. I am certain they wouldin very short orderdevise ways to eradicate the poppy crops.
