Panel Approves Request for FY '06 Drug War Funds

The House Appropriations Committee on Tues. (June 21) approved a modified bill that would increase funding for international drug enforcement, interdiction and eradication programs in fiscal year 2006. The panel approved a bill that was marked up last wekk by the House Appropriations Foreign Operations Subcommittee.

The bill now must get the approval of the full House of Representatives, which could then forward the legislation -- with or without amendments -- to the Senate. Any differences or disagreements with the Senate on this measure would be hammered out with compromises found by a joint House-Senate conference committee, which would then send a conference report back to both houses of Congress for consideration.

Our Policy on Comment Submissions: Co-publishers of Narco News (which includes The Narcosphere and The Field) may post comments without moderation. All co-publishers comment under their real name, have contributed resources or volunteer labor to this project, have filled out this application and agreed to some simple guidelines about commenting.

Narco News has recently opened its comments section for submissions to moderated comments (that’s this box, here) by everybody else. More than 95 percent of all submitted comments are typically approved, because they are on-topic, coherent, don’t spread false claims or rumors, don’t gratuitously insult other commenters, and don’t engage in commerce, spam or otherwise hijack the thread. Narco News reserves the right to reject any comment for any reason, so, especially if you choose to comment anonymously, the burden is on you to make your comment interesting and relevant. That said, as you can see, hundreds of comments are approved each week here. Good luck in your comment submission!
