0 2 AUG ON
The Honorable Carlton E. Turner
Special Assistant to the President
for Drug Abuse Policy
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
I have reviewed the draft of the 1984 Federal Strategy for Prevention
of Drug Abuse and Drug Trafficking. As you know, Executive Order 12333
authorizes the Intelligence Community, in accordance with law, to
collect, produce and disseminate intelligence on the foreign aspects of
narcotics production and trafficking. My review of the draft confirms
that the Intelligence Community's role in contributing to the
international objectives of the Federal Strategy is presented at a level
of detail appropriate for a document reflecting national policy guidance.
As we continue to work together in implementing aspects of the
Federal Strategy that are directed at foreign drug producing and transit
areas, please be assured of the Intelligence Community's full support.
We will continue to address all foreign dimensions of the complex
narcotics issue while ensuring that our information is shared with other
agencies responsible for implementing the Federal Strategy.
Sincerely,
18/ J*rm N. NoMsbop
John N. McMahon
Acting Director
