On the recordJuly 15, 1998
I am very aware of the work done by the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas, the HIDTAs, and the efforts that they make in order to cooperate with local law enforcement. I think they do make a difference, and I certainly understand from the eloquent statements tonight how critical the need is in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It is my understanding that the director plans to designate the Dallas-Fort Worth area as a HIDTA, and this legislation, I can tell my colleagues that this legislation does provide adequate funding of the overall HIDTA account to fund the creation of another HIDTA in that area.
