He says: The Drug Enforcement Agency has lost 227 agents from September 92 to September 95. Clinton issued an executive order reducing military Interdiction efforts. Including the elimination of 1.000 antidrug positions. He shortened mandatory minimum sentences for drug traffickers. He tried to slash the staff of the Office of National Drug Control Policy by 80% to 25 from 146. Congress has restored funding for some of those slots. In his 95 budget. he proposed cutting funds for the U.S. Customs Service. the DEA. the Federal Bureau of Investigation. the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the U.S. Coast Guard. The result would have meant 621 fewer agents.
