DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION AND LEGISLATORS PARTNER TO FIGHT DRUGS AND
NARCO-TERRORISM

The Drug Enforcement Administration is teaming up with the National
Foundation of Women Legislators in a new, nationwide attack on drugs and
terrorism.

The "Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign" kicks off today in all 50 states.
Efforts will focus on two issues: the link between drugs and terrorism, and
the dangers of "club drugs."

"Since 9-11, the War on Drugs has developed into a War on Narco-Terrorism.
Drug trafficking has become a national security issue because it is often
drug money that finances terrorist operations," said DEA Administrator Asa
Hutchinson.
