22 U.S.C. § 285p: Illegal drug traffic; loan…

Summary

Requires the Treasury Secretary to tell the United States Executive Director at the Asian Development Bank to vote against any loan or use of Bank funds that would help a country the President has found failed to stop illegal narcotics. That failure means drugs (as defined by the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, 21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) produced, processed, or moved through the country are being sold illegally to U.S. government personnel or their dependents there, or are entering the United States unlawfully. The voting instruction stays in effect until the President tells the Secretary the country has fixed the problem.
