           SUBCHAPTER IV--GENERAL AUTHORITIES AND REQUIREMENTS
 
Sec. 1736g-1. Assistance in furtherance of narcotics control 
        objectives of United States
        

(a) Substantial injury

    Local currencies that are made available for use under this chapter 
may not be used to finance the production for export of agricultural 
commodities (or products thereof) that would compete in the world market 
with similar agricultural commodities (or products thereof) produced in 
the United States, if such competition would cause substantial injury to 
the United States producers, as determined by the President.

(b) Exception for narcotics control

    Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, the President may 
provide assistance under this chapter, including assistance through the 
use of local currencies generated by the sale of commodities under such 
chapter, for economic development activities undertaken in an eligible 
country that is a major illicit drug producing country (as defined in 
section 2291(i)(2) \1\ of title 22), for the purpose of reducing the 
dependence of the economy of such country on the production of crops 
from which narcotic and psychotropic drugs are derived.
