Section 481 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended,
states in part: "The President shall suspend economic and military
assistance furnished under this or any other Act, and shall suspend
sales under the Foreign Military Sales Act and under Title I of the
Agriculture Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, with
respect to any country when the President determines that the govern-
rent of such country has failed to take adequate steps to prevent nar-
cotic drugs and other controlled substances (as defined by the Com
prehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970) produced
or processed, in whole or in part, in such country, or transported
through such country, from being sold illegally within the jurisdiction
of such country to United States Government personnel or their dependents,
or from entering the United States unlawfully. Such suspension shall
continue until the President determines that the government of such
country has taken adequate steps to ,carry out the purposes of this
chapter."
Additionally, the International Development Association Act,
the Inter-American Development Bank Act, and the Asian Development
Bank Act were amended in March, 1972, and now contain provisions

An effective mechanism is required to support the President in
fulfilling his responsibility under the above cited legislation.
Within the organizational structure of the Cabinet Committee on
International Narcotics Control (CCINC), the Coordinating Subcommittee
is hereby charged with responsibility for monitoring the anti-drug
efforts of individual countries to assure that adequate steps are being
taken by each to prevent narcotic drugs and other controlled substances
produced or processed, in whole or in part, in such country, or trans-

ported through such couzntry from being sold illegally within the juris-
diction of such country to United States Government personnel or their
dependents, or from entering the United States unlawfully.
In performing this monitoring function, the C.CINC Coordinating
Subcommittee should focus particular attention on the more than fifty
countries identified as those with which cooperative efforts could result
in a significant decrease in the illicit. drug problem.
The following criteria will be applied by the CCINC Coordinating
Subcommittee in determining whether there is a prima facie case for.
questioning the adequacy of a country's performance:
1. Has a country failed to give assurance at a high level that
it will cooperate with the United States and other nations to control
production and processing of, and trafficking in narcotic-drugs as de-
fined by the Comprehensive Drug. Abuse Prevention and.Control.Act
2. Has a country failed to enact adequate narcotics control laws
within a reasonable time after this deficiency was called to the attention
of 1970 (Public Law 91-513) ?
of its government?
.3. Is there. evidence of substantial violation of treaty obligations
or bilateral agreements relating to, control of the production, processing
or trafficking in narcotics drugs?

 Approved For Release 2005/11/23: IA-RDP80B0149511000g00090026-9
Does hard evidence exist that high level government officials
are involved in illicit narcotic drug production, processing or trafficking
and does such involvement continue after this evidence has been brought
to the government's att7ention?
5. Has a country declined to take steps to improve the effective-
ness of its narcotics enforcement capability within a reasonable time
after this deficiency was called to the attention of its government ?
6. Has a country failed to take adequate steps to correct other
narcotic control deficiencies after such deficiencies have been called to
its attention by another government or international agency?
When the CCINC Coordinating Subcommittee identifies any country
which it believes may have failed to take adequate steps to control the
illicit drug traffic,. the Coordinating Subcommittee will direct the ap-
propriate CCINC Regional Interagency. Narcotics Control Committee to
undertake an in-depth review of that country's performance.
At the time the -Coordinating Subcommittee directs a review to
be undertaken it will provide to the Regional Committee whatever
guidance it deems appropriate.
After finishing its review, the CCINC Regional Committee will
prepare a document setting forth the relevant facts and recommendations
for consideratioxi by the CCII C or any group designated by the CCINC.
