Summary

The Department of the Interior must work with the Government of Palau and the National Drug Control Policy Office to make a plan for an antidrug program in Palau. They must send the plan to the House committees on Interior and Insular Affairs, Foreign Affairs, and Appropriations, and to the Senate committees on Energy and Natural Resources and Appropriations by April 1, 1990.
