Over $7.1 billion is included In the bill to restart the war on drugs. including a $167 million increase for the Drug Enforcement Administration. This includes a new S75 million initiative targeted at source countries. restoring successful International drug efforts to 1992 levels. and a $56 million initiative to stop trafficking on the Southwest border. We are seeing Increased drug activity and illegal alien Immigration occurring on Federal forest lands along the Southwest border. In response. the committee report urges both INS and DEA to work collaboratively with the Forest Service to reduce illegal alien and drug activity on Federal forest lands. With the Increased resources provided to both agencies. the committee expects additional efforts will be undertaken to address this pressing problem. I was pleased that the bill continues the 3year phaseout of the Legal Services Corporation and continues the restrictions we placed on LSCs activities.
