Summary

The Director must set up a National Drug Abuse Training Center to create and run training programs about preventing drug abuse. The Director will work with the National Advisory Council for Drug Abuse Prevention on the Center’s policies. The Director may run the Center at first but must transfer control to the National Institute on Drug Abuse by December 31, 1974. The Center will run trainings, seminars, meetings, conferences, and provide educational materials. Its services and facilities, under rules the Director makes, must be available to federal, state, and local officials and their staffs; medical and paramedical workers and educators; and other people who need training, including drug dependent persons. Congress authorized $1,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1972; $3,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1973; $5,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1974; and $6,000,000 for the year ending June 30, 1975. These funds may be used in the year they are given and in the next fiscal year.
