BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL


Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Stronger Crackdown Needed

On Clandestine Laboratories

Manufacturing Dangerous Drugs



The Drug Enforcement Administration needs
to step up its efforts against clandestine labor-
atories which manufacture nonnarcotic dan-
gerous drugs. Although DEA has designated
trafficking in dangerous drugs its second high-
est priority, it devotes more resources to in-
vestigating lower priority problems and is not
making the best use of its precursor liaison
program -- an effective investigatory program
which uses contacts with the legitimate chem-
ical industry as a source of investigatory leads.
Longer jail sentences for convicted manufact-
urers and distributors of dangerous drugs
made in clandestine laboratories could be an
effective deterrent. GAO recommends that
the Congress amend the Controlled Substances
Act to increase the maximum penalties for
trafficking in nonnarcotic dangerous drugs to
the level now provided for trafficking in
heroin and other equally dangerous drugs.
