48 U.S.C. § 1953: Antidrug program

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 and send it to the listed House and Senate committees by April 1, 1990. The plan must show the program’s needs and costs, list current U.S. and Palau resources for carrying it out, and say which new resources should be used first if they become available. After the plan is finished, the President and Palau must negotiate an agreement to put it into action. That agreement can let Palau ask U.S. law enforcement officers to help investigate (long-term or case-by-case), can provide one-time or multiyear funding or other resources from either government, and can describe the technical help, training, and equipment the U.S. will give to Palau.
