               TITLE 22--FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
 
                     CHAPTER 32--FOREIGN ASSISTANCE
 
                 SUBCHAPTER I--INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
 
  Part I--Declaration of Policy; Development Assistance Authorizations
 
Sec. 2151x. Development and illicit narcotics production


(a) Congressional statement of findings

    The Congress recognizes that illicit narcotics cultivation is 
related to overall development problems and that the vast majority of 
all individuals employed in the cultivation of illicit narcotics reside 
in the developing countries and are among the poorest of the poor in 
those countries and that therefore the ultimate success of any effort to 
eliminate illicit narcotics production depends upon the availability of 
alternative economic opportunities for those individuals, upon other 
factors which assistance under this part could address, as well as upon 
direct narcotics control efforts.

(b) Program planning priorities; resource utilization

    (1) In planning programs of assistance under this part, and part X 
of this subchapter, and under part IV of subchapter II of this chapter 
for countries in which there is illicit narcotics cultivation, the 
agency primarily responsible for administering subchapter I of this 
chapter should give priority consideration to programs which would help 
reduce illicit narcotics cultivation by stimulating broader development 
opportunities.
    (2) The agency primarily responsible for administering subchapter I 
of this chapter may utilize resources for activities aimed at increasing 
awareness of the effects of production and trafficking of illicit 
narcotics on source and transit countries.

(c) Administrative requirements

    In furtherance of the purposes of this section, the agency primarily 
responsible for administering subchapter I of this chapter shall 
cooperate fully with, and share its expertise in development matters 
with, other agencies of the United States Government involved in 
narcotics control activities abroad.
