Plan to curb drugs shifts focus to foreign aid and enforcement
A Los Angeles Times report outlines a $6.1 billion shift in federal drug policy under William Bennett. The plan would boost aid to Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia, train advisers and troops to curb export flows, triple law enforcement funding, increase treatment spending by 50 percent, and expand jail capacity by 85 percent. It aims to cut drug use in half within a decade, with some funding tied to state highway rules for drug offenders.
