text: The Controlled Substances Act, referred to in subsec. (a)(1), is title II of Pub. L. 91–513, Oct. 27, 1970, 84 Stat. 1242, as amended. Part C of the Act is classified generally to part C (§ 821 et seq.) of subchapter I of chapter 13 of Title 21, Food and Drugs. For complete classification of this Act to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 801 of Title 21 and Tables.
Section 953 of title 21, referred to in subsec. (a)(2), was in the original “section 1003 of the Controlled Substances Act”, and was translated as reading “section 1003 of the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act”, meaning section 1003 of title III of Pub. L. 91–513, to reflect the probable intent of Congress.

48 U.S.C. § 2001 (TERRITORIES AND INSULAR POSSESSIONS)
§ 2001. Findings
The Congress finds that—
(1) the United States does not have a clearly defined policy for United States noncontiguous Pacific areas (including the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the State of Hawaii, and the State of Alaska) and for United States-associated noncontiguous Pacific areas (including the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau);
(2) the Federal Government has often failed to consider the implications for, effects on, and potential of noncontiguous Pacific areas in the formulation and conduct of foreign and domestic policy, to the detriment of both the attainment of the objectives of Federal policy and noncontiguous Pacific areas;
(3) policies and programs designed for the United States as a whole may impose inappropriate standards on noncontiguous Pacific areas because of their unique circumstances and needs; and
(4) the present Federal organizational arrangements for liaison with (and providing assistance to) the insular areas may not be adequate—
(A) to coordinate the delivery of Federal programs and services to noncontiguous Pacific areas;
(B) to provide a consistent basis for administration of programs;
(C) to adapt policy to the special requirements of each area and modify the application of Federal programs, laws, and regulations accordingly;
(D) to be responsive to the Congress in the discharge of its responsibilities; and
(E) to attain the international obligations of the United States.

(3) the effectiveness of the Federal executive organizational arrangements for—
(A) providing liaison between the Federal Government and the governments of the noncontiguous Pacific areas;
