So this act seeks to eliminate the capacity for that to happen. A final note with regard to the new optional sanctions which this legislation will authorize the President to impose on countries which do not cooperate with our narcotics control ef. forts. I would like to clarify that the purpose of authorizing the President to deny or limit visas to nonimmigrant nationals from any such country is to curtail abuse of certain visas by drug traffickers. This provision is not intended to restrict the issuance of nonimmigrant visas which have no history of being abused by drug traffickers. such as visas issued to temporary workers. students. international organization personnel. foreign press. and so forth. Nor is this provision intended to interfere with American travel to noncooperating countries. With regard to those types of nonimmigrant visas which do have a history of being abused by drug traffickers. such as tourist visas. the President should impose this sanction only if safeguards are put in place so that legitimate travel is not impeded. Obviously. this legislative package is not a panacea. It is an attempt to help law enforcement overcome the serious impact that other foreign policy interests have had on the war on drugs.
