                        TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
 
              CHAPTER 13--DRUG ABUSE PREVENTION AND CONTROL
 
                  SUBCHAPTER I--CONTROL AND ENFORCEMENT
 
                     Part A--Introductory Provisions
 
Sec. 801. Congressional findings and declarations: controlled 
        substances
        
    The Congress makes the following findings and declarations:
    (1) Many of the drugs included within this subchapter have a useful 
and legitimate medical purpose and are necessary to maintain the health 
and general welfare of the American people.
    (2) The illegal importation, manufacture, distribution, and 
possession and improper use of controlled substances have a substantial 
and detrimental effect on the health and general welfare of the American 
people.
    (3) A major portion of the traffic in controlled substances flows 
through interstate and foreign commerce. Incidents of the traffic which 
are not an integral part of the interstate or foreign flow, such as 
manufacture, local distribution, and possession, nonetheless have a 
substantial and direct effect upon interstate commerce because--
        (A) after manufacture, many controlled substances are 
    transported in interstate commerce,
        (B) controlled substances distributed locally usually have been 
    transported in interstate commerce immediately before their 
    distribution, and
        (C) controlled substances possessed commonly flow through 
    interstate commerce immediately prior to such possession.

    (4) Local distribution and possession of controlled substances 
contribute to swelling the interstate traffic in such substances.
    (5) Controlled substances manufactured and distributed intrastate 
cannot be differentiated from controlled substances manufactured and 
distributed interstate. Thus, it is not feasible to distinguish, in 
terms of controls, between controlled substances manufactured and 
distributed interstate and controlled substances manufactured and 
distributed intrastate.
    (6) Federal control of the intrastate incidents of the traffic in 
controlled substances is essential to the effective control of the 
interstate incidents of such traffic.
    (7) The United States is a party to the Single Convention on 
Narcotic Drugs, 1961, and other international conventions designed to 
establish effective control over international and domestic traffic in 
controlled substances.

    drugs within our borders;

    combating the narcotics drug abuse and trafficking in the United 
    States should include--

        smuggler organizations;

        schools and workplace;

        ``(3) funds to support the interdiction of narcotics smugglers 
    who threaten the transport of drugs through the air, on the sea, and 
    across the land borders of the United States should be emphasized in 
    the Federal Government budget process to the same extent as the 
    other elements of a comprehensive antidrug effort are emphasized;

    should be an integral part of a comprehensive, natonal [national]

    interdiction, particularly the United States Customs Service and the

    control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) system, and manpower 
    resources necessary to mount a comprehensive attack on the narcotics 
    traffickers who threaten the United States;

        Health Insurance Coverage for Drug and Alcohol Treatment

    Pub. L. 99-570, title VI, Sec. 6006, Oct. 27, 1986, 100 Stat. 3207-
160, provided that:
    ``(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
        ``(1) drug and alcohol abuse are problems of grave concern and 
    consequence in American society;
        ``(2) over 500,000 individuals are known heroin addicts; 5 
    million individuals use cocaine; and at least 7 million individuals 
    regularly use prescription drugs, mostly addictive ones, without 
    medical supervision;
        ``(3) 10 million adults and 3 million children and adolescents 
    abuse alcohol, and an additional 30 to 40 million people are 
    adversely affected because of close family ties to alcoholics;
        ``(4) the total cost of drug abuse to the Nation in 1983 was 
    over $60,000,000,000; and
        ``(5) the vast majority of health benefits plans provide only 
    limited coverage for treatment of drug and alcohol addiction, which 
    is a fact that can discourage the abuser from seeking treatment or, 
    if the abuser does seek treatment, can cause the abuser to face 
    significant out of pocket expenses for the treatment.
    ``(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
        ``(1) all employers providing health insurance policies should 
    ensure that the policies provide adequate coverage for treatment of 
    drug and alcohol addiction in recognition that the health 
    consequences and costs for individuals and society can be as 
    formidable as those resulting from other diseases and illnesses for 
    which insurance coverage is much more adequate; and
        ``(2) State insurance commissioners should encourage employers 
    providing health benefits plans to ensure that the policies provide 
    more adequate coverage for treatment of drug and alcohol 
    addiction.''
