Solons Approve Of War On Drugs
President Nixon seeks 155 million extra for federal anti drug programs, praised for urgency but criticized as insufficient. Key figures include Rep Claude Pepper and Sen Harold Hughes, with support for treatment and rehabilitation over supply focus. Nixon names Dr Jerome Jaffe to head a new office and orders testing and rehab in Vietnam amid calls for stronger GI commitment and expanded enforcement at Customs. Proposals also target foreign aid cuts to drug-producing nations and broader congressional reaction.
