16 ‘‘SEC. 707. HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS 

17 PROGRAM. 

18 ‘‘(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—

19 ‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—There is established in the 

20 Office a program to be known as the High Intensity 

21 Drug Trafficking Areas Program (in this section re22 ferred to as the ‘Program’). 

23 ‘‘(2) PURPOSE.—The purpose of the Program 

24 is to reduce drug trafficking and drug production in 

25 the United States by—
55

•HR 2829 EH 

1 ‘‘(A) facilitating cooperation among Fed2 eral, State, and local law enforcement agencies 

3 to share information and implement coordinated 

4 enforcement activities; 

5 ‘‘(B) enhancing intelligence sharing among 

6 Federal, State, and local law enforcement agen7 cies; 

8 ‘‘(C) providing reliable intelligence to law 

9 enforcement agencies needed to design effective 

10 enforcement strategies and operations; and 

11 ‘‘(D) supporting coordinated law enforce12 ment strategies which maximize use of available 

13 resources to reduce the supply of illegal drugs 

14 in designated areas and in the United States as 

15 a whole. 

16 ‘‘(b) DESIGNATION.—The Director, upon consulta17 tion with the Attorney General, the Secretary of the 

18 Treasury, the Secretary of Homeland Security, heads of 

19 the National Drug Control Program agencies, and the 

20 Governor of each applicable State, may designate any 

21 specified area of the United States as a high intensity 

22 drug trafficking area. After making such a designation 

23 and in order to provide Federal assistance to the area so 

24 designated, the Director may—
56

•HR 2829 EH 

1 ‘‘(1) obligate such sums as are appropriated for 

2 the Program; 

3 ‘‘(2) direct the temporary reassignment of Fed4 eral personnel to such area, subject to the approval 

5 of the head of the department or agency that em6 ploys such personnel;

9 to those areas; and 

10 ‘‘(4) coordinate activities under this section 

11 (specifically administrative, recordkeeping, and funds 

12 management activities) with State and local officials. 

13 ‘‘(c) PETITIONS FOR DESIGNATION.—The Director 

14 shall establish regulations under which a coalition of inter15 ested law enforcement agencies from an area may petition 

16 for designation as a high intensity drug trafficking area. 

17 Such regulations shall provide for a regular review by the 

18 Director of the petition, including a recommendation re19 garding the merit of the petition to the Director by a panel 

20 of qualified, independent experts. 

21 ‘‘(d) FACTORS FOR CONSIDERATION.—In considering 

22 whether to designate an area under this section as a high 

23 intensity drug trafficking area, the Director shall consider, 

24 in addition to such other criteria as the Director considers 

25 to be appropriate, the extent to which—
57

•HR 2829 EH 

1 ‘‘(1) the area is a significant center of illegal 

2 drug production, manufacturing, importation, or dis3 tribution; 

4 ‘‘(2) State and local law enforcement agencies 

5 have committed resources to respond to the drug 

6 trafficking problem in the area, thereby indicating a 

7 determination to respond aggressively to the prob8 lem; 

9 ‘‘(3) drug-related activities in the area are hav10 ing a significant harmful impact in the area, and in 

11 other areas of the country; and 

12 ‘‘(4) a significant increase in allocation of Fed13 eral resources is necessary to respond adequately to 

14 drug-related activities in the area. 

15 ‘‘(e) ORGANIZATION OF HIGH INTENSITY DRUG

16 TRAFFICKING AREAS.—

17 ‘‘(1) EXECUTIVE BOARD AND OFFICERS.—To 

18 be eligible for funds appropriated under this section, 

19 each high intensity drug trafficking area shall be

21 Board shall designate a chairman, vice chairman, 

22 and any other officers to the Executive Board that 

23 it determines are necessary. 
58

10 proposals consistent with the overall objective of 

11 the high intensity drug trafficking area; and 

12 ‘‘(D) reviewing and approving all reports 

13 to the Director on the activities of the high in14 tensity drug trafficking area. 

15 ‘‘(3) BOARD REPRESENTATION.—None of the 

16 funds appropriated under this section may be ex17 pended for any high intensity drug trafficking area, 

18 or for a partnership or region of a high intensity 

19 drug trafficking area, if that area’s, region’s or part20 nership’s Executive Board does not apportion an 

21 equal number of votes between representatives of 

22 participating Federal agencies and representatives of 

23 participating State and local agencies. Where it is 

24 impractical for a equal number of representatives of 

25 Federal agencies and State and local agencies to at-
59

4 ‘‘(A) that assistance provided under para5 graph (1) remains incidental to the purpose of 

6 the Program to reduce drug availability and

11 related to terrorism, except on a temporary 

12 basis under extraordinary circumstances, as de13 termined by the Director. 

14 ‘‘(h) ROLE OF DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRA15 TION.—The Director, in consultation with the Attorney 

16 General, shall ensure that a representative of the Drug 

17 Enforcement Administration is included in the Intelligence 

18 Support Center for each high intensity drug trafficking 

19 area.

11 and how such funding supports the National Drug 

12 Control Strategy. 

13 ‘‘(j) EMERGING THREAT RESPONSE FUND.—

14 ‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—Subject to the availability 

15 of appropriations, the Director may expend up to 10 

16 percent of the amounts appropriated under this sec17 tion on a discretionary basis, to respond to any 

18 emerging drug trafficking threat in an existing high 

19 intensity drug trafficking area, or to establish a new 

20 high intensity drug trafficking area or expand an ex21 isting high intensity drug trafficking area, in accord22 ance with the criteria established under paragraph 

23 (2). 
62

•HR 2829 EH 

1 ‘‘(2) CONSIDERATION OF IMPACT.—In allo2 cating funds under this subsection, the Director

21 SEC. 10. FUNDING FOR CERTAIN HIGH INTENSITY DRUG 

22 TRAFFICKING AREAS. 

23 (a) SHORT TITLE.—This section may be cited as the 

24 ‘‘Dawson Family Community Protection Act’’. 

25 (b) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
70

•HR 2829 EH 

1 (1) In the early morning hours of October 16, 

2 2002, the home of Carnell and Angela Dawson was 

3 firebombed in apparent retaliation for Mrs. 

4 Dawson’s notification of police about persistent drug 

5 distribution activity in their East Baltimore City 

6 neighborhood. 

7 (2) The arson claimed the lives of Mr. and Mrs. 

8 Dawson and their 5 young children, aged 9 to 14. 

9 (3) The horrific murder of the Dawson family 

10 is a stark example of domestic narco-terrorism. 

11 (4) In all phases of counter-narcotics law en12 forcement—from prevention to investigation to pros13 ecution to reentry—the voluntary cooperation of or14 dinary citizens is a critical component. 

15 (5) Voluntary cooperation is difficult for law en16 forcement officials to obtain when citizens feel that 

17 cooperation carries the risk of violent retaliation by 

18 illegal drug trafficking organizations and their affili19 ates. 

20 (6) Public confidence that law enforcement is 

21 doing all it can to make communities safe is a pre22 requisite for voluntary cooperation among people 

23 who may be subject to intimidation or reprisal (or 

24 both). 
71

•HR 2829 EH 

1 (7) Witness protection programs are insufficient 

2 on their own to provide security because many indi3 viduals and families who strive every day to make 

4 distressed neighborhoods livable for their children, 

5 other relatives, and neighbors will resist or refuse of6 fers of relocation by local, State, and Federal pros7 ecutorial agencies and because, moreover, the contin8 ued presence of strong individuals and families is 

9 critical to preserving and strengthening the social 

10 fabric in such communities. 

11 (8) Where (as in certain sections of Baltimore 

12 City) interstate trafficking of illegal drugs has severe 

13 ancillary local consequences within areas designated 

14 as high intensity drug trafficking areas, it is impor15 tant that supplementary High Intensity Drug Traf16 ficking Areas Program funds be committed to sup17 port initiatives aimed at making the affected com18 munities safe for the residents of those communities 

19 and encouraging their cooperation with local, State, 

20 and Federal law enforcement efforts to combat ille21 gal drug trafficking. 

22 (c) FUNDING FOR CERTAIN HIGH INTENSITY DRUG

23 TRAFFICKING AREAS.—Section 707 (21 U.S.C. 1706), as 

24 amended by section 9, is further amended by adding at 

25 the end the following new subsection:
