This $5 billion over 5 years would be funded out of the National Teenage Health Security Trust Fund established under the legislation. We also establish some antidrug and antismoking provisions and penalties. increasing. for example. by 50 percent the drug interdiction budgets of the Customs Service. Coast Guard. and the Department of Defense for activities along the U.S.-Mexican border and the Caribbean region. doubling the number of Border Patrol agents to achieve a level of 15.000 over the next 5 years. increasing the law enforcement budgets of the DEA and FBI by 25 percent. adopting the McCain antismuggling" language which directs the Treasury Department to require the placement of a unique serial number on each pack of cigarettes to assist in determining the location and date of production. It would impose penalties of not less than 10 years of imprisonment for any adult who sells drugs to a minor. and a second offense would be life in prison. We would establish a Federal penalty of not less than 20 years for any person convicted of smuggling illegal drugs into the United States and. again. for a second offense. a penalty of life imprisonment.
