On the recordMay 25, 1994
In fiscal year 1994 the President requested $147 million for the INM fund, and only $100 million was enacted. In fiscal year 1995 the administration's request was for $152.4 million, more than last year's request, and again only $100 million was recommended. Fiscal years 1994 and 1995 are cuts any way we slice it. Permit me to recite some of the noteworthy results from the Republican antinarcotics strategy in the 1980's: There was a drop in cocaine use from $5.5 million in 1985 to $1.3 million in 1992, marijuana use was down from 20 million users in 1990 to 9 million in 1992. Roughly half of all the estimated cocaine production was seized by our own agents in foreign interdiction operations, indicating that our international narcotics efforts have been substantial and have been worthwhile. Let us continue that effort by supporting this amendment.
