Anticrime and Narcotics Bills Move Through Congress
The House and Senate advanced anticrime and narcotics bills aimed at tightening federal powers against organized crime and drug trafficking. The House approved the anticrime measure 341 to 26 and the Senate passed the narcotics bill 540 to favor, with differences to be settled in conference. The anti crime bill would empower grand juries, expand witness protections, allow wiretap evidence, and increase penalties for dangerous criminals. The narcotics bill would broaden DEA powers, regulate import export and sale of drugs, increase penalties for large scale pushers, and lessen penalties for some marijuana possession cases.
