INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS OF THE NARCOTICS

PROBLEM

WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1971

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS,
SUBCOMMITTEE ON EUROPE,
Washington, D.C.

The subcommittee met at 1:30 p.m., in room 2200, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Benjamin S. Rosenthal (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.

Mr. ROSENTHAL. The subcommittee will be in session.

The Subcommittee on Europe meets today to begin a series of hearings on the international aspects of the world narcotics problem.

The purpose of these hearings is to analyze in detail the problem and to consider various legislative proposals which have been referred to the subcommittee. This legislation-in various designs-seeks to prohibit the illegal production of, and international trafficking in, narcotics.

Drug abuse is increasing at home and around the world. Of particular concern is the rapid rise in the use of opium-based drugs, particularly heroin, in the United States. Adding to this problem is the alarming increase in heroin addiction within the U.S. military forces in South Vietnam where the best estimates show that as many as 25,000 to 40,000 U.S. servicemen are addicted to heroin.

The worst part of the problem is that the United States is a victim country. It produces no opium or heroin, yet it is the principal market for the illegal producer.

To solve this problem, the United States must have the cooperation of the opium-producing countries. We cannot correct this situation ourselves. And the international aspects themselves are but one part of this exceedingly complex question of drug addiction.

We must be willing to devote more resources, human and material, to fight the illegal international traffic in heroin. Some argue that to do this we must be willing to exercise economic and political pressure, including the imposition of economic sanctions, where necessary to stop these countries from growing poppies.

Others argue that success can best be achieved through the extension of economic assistance which would help opium-producing countries to find suitable alternate crops which will pay the farmer to stop growing poppies.

Unfortunately, opium is often produced in remote areas that are beyond the effective political and administrative control of the governments concerned. It may be that a cutoff of economic and military
