(b) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) In the early morning hours of October 16, 
2002, the home of Carnell and Angela Dawson was 
firebombed in apparent retaliation for Mrs. Dawson’s 
notification of police about persistent drug distribu-
tion activity in their East Baltimore City neighbor-
hood. 
(2) The arson claimed the lives of Mr. and Mrs. 
Dawson and their 5 young children, aged 9 to 14. 
(3) The horrific murder of the Dawson family is 
a stark example of domestic narco-terrorism. 
(4) In all phases of counter-narcotics law en-
forcement—from prevention to investigation to pros-
ecution to reentry—the voluntary cooperation of ordi-
nary citizens is a critical component. 
(5) Voluntary cooperation is difficult for law en-
forcement officials to obtain when citizens feel that co-
operation carries the risk of violent retaliation by ille-
gal drug trafficking organizations and their affiliates. 
(6) Public confidence that law enforcement is 
doing all it can to make communities safe is a pre-
requisite for voluntary cooperation among people who 
may be subject to intimidation or reprisal (or both). 
(7) Witness protection programs are insufficient 
on their own to provide security because many indi-

viduals and families who strive every day to make 
distressed neighborhoods livable for their children, 
other relatives, and neighbors will resist or refuse of-
fers of relocation by local, State, and Federal prosecu-
torial agencies and because, moreover, the continued 
presence of strong individuals and families is critical 
to preserving and strengthening the social fabric in 
such communities. 
(8) Where (as in certain sections of Baltimore 
City) interstate trafficking of illegal drugs has severe 
ancillary local consequences within areas designated 
as high intensity drug trafficking areas, it is impor-
tant that supplementary High Intensity Drug Traf-
ficking Areas Program funds be committed to support 
initiatives aimed at making the affected communities 
safe for the residents of those communities and en-
couraging their cooperation with local, State, and 
Federal law enforcement efforts to combat illegal drug 
trafficking. 
(c) FUNDING FOR CERTAIN HIGH INTENSITY DRUG 
TRAFFICKING AREAS.—Section 707 (21 U.S.C. 1706), as 
amended by section 9, is further amended by adding at the 
end the following new subsection:
