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.

For more information on the "Shoulder to Shoulder Campaign" in Alabama, 
contact Rep. Barbara B. Boyd, D-Anniston at (256) 236-4603.
