Expressing the sense of the House with respect to illegal drugs and narcotics control.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that there should be: (1) better coordination between Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies through additional Blue Lightening task force projects to stem the flow of illegal drugs; (2) reform of the assets forfeiture program of the U.S. Customs Service and the Justice Department; (3) civil monetary penalties instituted and Federal benefits revoked for those convicted of drug dealing and repeat possession offenses; (4) mandatory random drug testing for specified transportation workers in sensitive positions and a comprehensive accrediting program for laboratories performing such tests; (5) an assessment of the advisability of instituting a federally funded needle exchange program for IV-drug abusers to prevent the transmission of AIDS; (6) a possible expansion of the military role in drug law enforcement and greater U.S. military and law enforcement support of joint antidrug operations in foreign countries; and (7) stronger extradition treaties and voluntary drug eradication agreements with foreign drug-producing countries.
