US launches major border drug interdiction plan
Federal officials led by Attorney General Kleindienst and Deputy Rossides announced Operation Intercept style measures to stop narcotics flow from Mexico. The plan focuses on marijuana with effort to raise prices and include hard drugs like heroin and cocaine, aiming to curb the source and foster Mexican cooperation. Delays at border towns may occur but overall benefits outweigh drawbacks and new inspectors will be moved from other duties.
