Reagan plans major federal drug trafficking hunt
President Reagan prepares to unveil a bold plan to fight drug trafficking, hiring up to 1,000 federal agents and investigators. The program would establish task forces in about a dozen major cities, expand the FBI and DEA, add federal prosecutors, and require Congress approval for funding. The effort targets a national drug trade estimated at over 80 billion dollars, with past success in Florida offset by shifts to other regions.
