SEC. 6. HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS PROGRAM.

    (a) In General.--Section 707 (21 U.S.C. 1706) is amended to read as 
follows:

``SEC. 707. HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS PROGRAM.

    ``(a) Establishment.--There is established in the Office a program 
to be known as the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program (in 
this section referred to as the `Program').
    ``(b) Purposes.--The purposes of the Program are the following:
            ``(1) To reduce drug availability and facilitate 
        cooperative efforts between Federal, State, and local law 
        enforcement agencies in areas with significant drug trafficking 
        problems that harmfully impact other parts of the Nation.
            ``(2) To provide assistance to agencies to come together to 
        assess regional threats, design coordinated strategies to 
        combat those threats, share intelligence, and develop and 
        implement coordinated initiatives to implement the strategies.
    ``(c) Designation.--The Director, upon consultation with the 
Attorney General, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of 
Homeland Security, heads of the National Drug Control Program agencies, 
and the Governor of each applicable State, may designate any specified 
area of the United States as a high intensity drug trafficking area.
    ``(d) Factors for Consideration.--
            ``(1) In general.--In considering whether to designate an 
        area under this section as a high intensity drug trafficking 
        area, the Director shall consider, in addition to such other 
        criteria as the Director considers to be appropriate, the 
        extent to which--
                    ``(A) the area is a major center of illegal drug 
                production, manufacturing, importation, or distribution 
                for the United States as compared to other areas of the 
                United States;
                    ``(B) State and local law enforcement agencies have 
                committed resources to respond to the drug trafficking 
                problem in the area, thereby indicating a determination 
                to respond aggressively to the problem;
                    ``(C) drug-related production, manufacturing, 
                importation, or distribution in the area is having a 
                significant harmful impact in other areas of the United 
                States; and
                    ``(D) a significant increase in allocation of 
                Federal resources is necessary to respond adequately to 
                drug-related activities in the area.
            ``(2) Considerations.--For purposes of paragraph (1)(A), in 
        considering whether an area is a major center of illegal drug 
        production, manufacturing, importation, or distribution as 
        compared to other areas of the United States, the Director 
        shall consider--
                    ``(A) the quantity of illicit drug traffic entering 
                or transiting the area originating in foreign 
                countries;
                    ``(B) the quantity of illicit drugs produced in the 
                area;
                    ``(C) the number of Federal, State, and local 
                arrests, prosecutions, and convictions for drug 
                trafficking and distribution offenses in the area;
                    ``(D) the degree to which the area is a center for 
                the activities of national drug trafficking 
                organizations; and
                    ``(E) such other criteria as the Director considers 
                appropriate.
    ``(e) Southwest Border.--The Director may not designate any county 
contiguous to the international land border with Mexico as part of any 
high intensity drug trafficking area other than as part of a single 
Southwest Border high intensity drug trafficking area.
    ``(f) Removal From Designation.--The Director may remove an area or 
portion of an area from designation as a high intensity drug 
trafficking area under this section upon determination that the area or 
portion of an area no longer is a high intensity drug trafficking area, 
considering the factors in subsections (d) and (e) in addition to such 
other criteria as the Director considers to be appropriate.
    ``(g) Authority of the Director.--After making such a designation 
and in order to provide Federal assistance to the area so designated, 
the Director may--
            ``(1) obligate such sums as appropriated for the Program, 
        in accordance with subsection (h);
            ``(2) direct the temporary reassignment of Federal 
        personnel to such area, subject to the approval of the head of 
        the department or agency that employs such personnel; and
            ``(3) take any other action authorized under section 704 to 
        provide increased Federal assistance to those areas.
    ``(h) Allocation of Funding.--In obligating sums appropriated for 
the Program, the Director shall comply with the following:
            ``(1) 30 percent set aside.--The Director shall expend no 
        less than 30 percent of the amounts appropriated under this 
        section in the seven high intensity drug trafficking areas 
        (excluding the Southwest Border high intensity drug trafficking 
        area) for which the Director determines that Program activities 
        with respect to such areas will have the greatest impact on 
        reducing overall drug traffic in the United States.
            ``(2) 25 percent set aside.--The Director shall expend no 
        less than 25 percent of the amounts appropriated under this 
        section in nine other high intensity drug trafficking areas 
        (excluding the Southwest Border high intensity drug trafficking 
        area) for which the Director determines that Program activities 
        with respect to such areas will have the next greatest impact 
        on reducing overall drug traffic in the United States.
            ``(3) Southwest border area.--
                    ``(A) 20 percent set aside.--The Director shall 
                expend no less than 20 percent of the amounts 
                appropriated under this section in the Southwest Border 
                high intensity drug trafficking area.
                    ``(B) Reallocation within area.--The executive 
                committee of the Southwest Border high intensity drug 
                trafficking area may reallocate up to five percent of 
                the total funds allocated to that area among its 
                components, with the approval of the Director.
            ``(4) Remaining areas.--The Director shall expend no less 
        than 10 percent of the amounts appropriated under this section 
        in the remaining high intensity drug trafficking areas.
            ``(5) Discretionary expenditures.--
                    ``(A) In general.--In addition to the amounts 
                allocated under paragraphs (1) through (4) the Director 
                may expend 15 percent of the amounts appropriated under 
                this section on a discretionary basis.
                    ``(B) Consideration of impact.--In allocating funds 
                under this paragraph, the Director shall consider--
                            ``(i) the impact of activities funded on 
                        reducing overall drug traffic in the United

        shall be expended for drug prevention or drug treatment 
        programs.

        apply with respect to the Baltimore/Washington high intensity 
        drug trafficking area.

        State, and local law enforcement agencies in investigations and 
        activities related to terrorism and prevention of terrorism, 
        especially but not exclusively where such investigations are 
        related to drug trafficking.
            ``(2) Limitation.--The Director shall ensure--
                    ``(A) that assistance provided under paragraph (1) 
                remains incidental to the purpose of the Program to 
                reduce drug availability and carry out drug-related law 
                enforcement activities; and
                    ``(B) that significant resources of the Program are 
                not redirected to activities exclusively related to 
                terrorism.
    ``(k) Board Representation.--None of the funds appropriated under 
this section may be expended for any high intensity drug trafficking 
area, or for a partnership under the Program, if the executive board or 
equivalent governing committee with respect to such area or partnership 
is not comprised of equal voting representation between representatives 
of Federal law enforcement agencies and representatives of State and 
local law enforcement agencies.
    ``(l) Role of Drug Enforcement Administration.--The Director, in 
consultation with the Attorney General, shall ensure that a 
representative of the Drug Enforcement Administration is included in 
the Intelligence Support Center for each high intensity drug 
trafficking area.
    ``(m) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized to be 
appropriated to the Office of National Drug Control Policy to carry out 
this section--
            ``(1) $230,000,000 for fiscal year 2004;
            ``(2) $240,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2005 and 2006; 
        and

        2008.''.
    (b) Review of Current Areas.--Within one year after the date of 
enactment of this Act, the Director of National Drug Control Policy 
shall--
            (1) review each of the areas currently designated as a high 
        intensity drug trafficking area to determine whether it 
        continues to warrant designation as a high intensity drug 
        trafficking area, considering the factors in section 707(d) of 
        the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act 
        of 1998, as amended by this section, in addition to such other 
        criteria as the Director considers to be appropriate; and
            (2) terminate such description for an area or portion of an 
        area determined to no longer warrant designation.

SEC. 7. FUNDING FOR CERTAIN HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS.

    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Dawson Family 
Community Protection Act''.
    (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 distribution activity in their East Baltimore 
        City neighborhood.
            (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 enforcement--
        from prevention to investigation to prosecution to reentry--the 
        voluntary cooperation of ordinary citizens is a critical 
        component.
            (5) Voluntary cooperation is difficult for law enforcement 
        officials to obtain when citizens feel that cooperation carries 
        the risk of violent retaliation by illegal drug trafficking 
        organizations and their affiliates.
            (6) Public confidence that law enforcement is doing all it 
        can to make communities safe is a prerequisite 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 individuals and families 
        who strive every day to make distressed neighborhoods livable 
        for their children, other relatives, and neighbors will resist 
        or refuse offers of relocation by local, State, and Federal 
        prosecutorial 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 important that supplementary High 
        Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program funds be committed to 
        support initiatives aimed at making the affected communities 
        safe for the residents of those communities and encouraging 
        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) is further amended in subsection (h) by 
adding at the end the following new paragraph:
            ``(6) Specific purposes.--
                    ``(A) In general.--The Director shall ensure that, 
                of the amounts appropriated for a fiscal year for the 
                Program, at least $1,000,000 is used in high intensity 
                drug trafficking areas with severe neighborhood safety 
                and illegal drug distribution problems.
                    ``(B) Required uses.--The funds used under 
                subparagraph (A) shall be used--
                            ``(i) to ensure the safety of neighborhoods 
                        and the protection of communities, including 
                        the prevention of the intimidation of potential 
                        witnesses of illegal drug distribution and 
                        related activities; and
                            ``(ii) to combat illegal drug trafficking 
                        through such methods as the Director considers 
                        appropriate, such as establishing or operating 
                        (or both) a toll-free telephone hotline for use 
                        by the public to provide information about 
                        illegal drug-related activities.''.

SEC. 6. HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS PROGRAM.

    (a) In General.--Section 707 (21 U.S.C. 1706) is amended to read as 
follows:

``SEC. 707. HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS PROGRAM.

    ``(a) Establishment.--There is established in the Office a program 
to be known as the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program (in 
this section referred to as the `Program').
    ``(b) Purposes.--The purposes of the Program are the following:
            ``(1) To reduce drug availability and facilitate 
        cooperative efforts between Federal, State, and local law 
        enforcement agencies in areas with significant drug trafficking 
        problems that harmfully impact other parts of the Nation.
            ``(2) To provide assistance to agencies to come together to 
        assess regional threats, design coordinated strategies to 
        combat those threats, share intelligence, and develop and 
        implement coordinated initiatives to implement the strategies.
    ``(c) Designation.--The Director, upon consultation with the 
Attorney General, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of 
Homeland Security, heads of the National Drug Control Program agencies, 
and the Governor of each applicable State, may designate any specified 
area of the United States as a high intensity drug trafficking area.
    ``(d) Factors for Consideration.--
            ``(1) In general.--In considering whether to designate an 
        area under this section as a high intensity drug trafficking 
        area, the Director shall consider, in addition to such other 
        criteria as the Director considers to be appropriate, the 
        extent to which--
                    ``(A) the area is a major center of illegal drug 
                production, manufacturing, importation, or distribution 
                for the United States as compared to other areas of the 
                United States;
                    ``(B) State and local law enforcement agencies have 
                committed resources to respond to the drug trafficking 
                problem in the area, thereby indicating a determination 
                to respond aggressively to the problem;
                    ``(C) drug-related production, manufacturing, 
                importation, or distribution in the area is having a 
                significant harmful impact in other areas of the United 
                States; and
                    ``(D) a significant increase in allocation of 
                Federal resources is necessary to respond adequately to 
                drug-related activities in the area.
            ``(2) Considerations.--For purposes of paragraph (1)(A), in 
        considering whether an area is a major center of illegal drug 
        production, manufacturing, importation, or distribution as 
        compared to other areas of the United States, the Director 
        shall consider--
                    ``(A) the quantity of illicit drug traffic entering 
                or transiting the area originating in foreign 
                countries;
                    ``(B) the quantity of illicit drugs produced in the 
                area;

                arrests, prosecutions, and convictions for drug 
                trafficking and distribution offenses in the area;
                    ``(D) the degree to which the area is a center for 
                the activities of national drug trafficking 
                organizations; and
                    ``(E) such other criteria as the Director considers 
                appropriate.
    ``(e) Southwest Border.--The Director may not designate any county 
contiguous to the international land border with Mexico as part of any 
high intensity drug trafficking area other than as part of a single 
Southwest Border high intensity drug trafficking area.
    ``(f) Removal From Designation.--The Director may remove an area or 
portion of an area from designation as a high intensity drug 
trafficking area under this section upon determination that the area or 
portion of an area no longer is a high intensity drug trafficking area, 
considering the factors in subsections (d) and (e) in addition to such 
other criteria as the Director considers to be appropriate.
    ``(g) Authority of the Director.--After making such a designation 
and in order to provide Federal assistance to the area so designated, 
the Director may--
            ``(1) obligate such sums as appropriated for the Program;
            ``(2) direct the temporary reassignment of Federal 
        personnel to such area, subject to the approval of the head of 
        the department or agency that employs such personnel; and

        use of resources available for the Program to assist Federal, 
        State, and local law enforcement agencies in investigations and 
        activities related to terrorism and prevention of terrorism, 
        especially but not exclusively where such investigations are 
        related to drug trafficking.
            ``(2) Limitation.--The Director shall ensure--
                    ``(A) that assistance provided under paragraph (1) 
                remains incidental to the purpose of the Program to 
                reduce drug availability and carry out drug-related law 
                enforcement activities; and
                    ``(B) that significant resources of the Program are

                terrorism.
    ``(j) Board Representation.--None of the funds appropriated under 
this section may be expended for any high intensity drug trafficking 
area, or for a partnership under the Program, if the executive board or

is not comprised of equal voting representation between representatives 
of Federal law enforcement agencies and representatives of State and 
local law enforcement agencies.
    ``(k) Role of Drug Enforcement Administration.--The Director, in

    (b) Review of Current Areas.--Within one year after the date of 
enactment of this Act, the Director of National Drug Control Policy 
shall--
            (1) review each of the areas currently designated as a high 
        intensity drug trafficking area to determine whether it 
        continues to warrant designation as a high intensity drug 
        trafficking area, considering the factors in section 707(d) of 
        the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act 
        of 1998, as amended by this section, in addition to such other 
        criteria as the Director considers to be appropriate; and
            (2) terminate such description for an area or portion of an 
        area determined to no longer warrant designation.

SEC. 7. FUNDING FOR CERTAIN HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS.

    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Dawson Family 
Community Protection Act''.
    (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 distribution activity in their East Baltimore 
        City neighborhood.
            (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 enforcement--
        from prevention to investigation to prosecution to reentry--the 
        voluntary cooperation of ordinary citizens is a critical 
        component.
            (5) Voluntary cooperation is difficult for law enforcement 
        officials to obtain when citizens feel that cooperation carries 
        the risk of violent retaliation by illegal drug trafficking 
        organizations and their affiliates.
            (6) Public confidence that law enforcement is doing all it 
        can to make communities safe is a prerequisite 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 individuals and families 
        who strive every day to make distressed neighborhoods livable 
        for their children, other relatives, and neighbors will resist 
        or refuse offers of relocation by local, State, and Federal 
        prosecutorial 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 important that supplementary High 
        Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program funds be committed to 
        support initiatives aimed at making the affected communities 
        safe for the residents of those communities and encouraging 
        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) is further amended in subsection (h) by 
adding at the end the following new paragraph:
            ``(3) Specific purposes.--
                    ``(A) In general.--The Director shall ensure that, 
                of the amounts appropriated for a fiscal year for the 
                Program, at least $1,000,000 is used in high intensity 
                drug trafficking areas with severe neighborhood safety 
                and illegal drug distribution problems.
                    ``(B) Required uses.--The funds used under 
                subparagraph (A) shall be used--
                            ``(i) to ensure the safety of neighborhoods 
                        and the protection of communities, including 
                        the prevention of the intimidation of potential 
                        witnesses of illegal drug distribution and 
                        related activities; and
                            ``(ii) to combat illegal drug trafficking 
                        through such methods as the Director considers 
                        appropriate, such as establishing or operating 
                        (or both) a toll-free telephone hotline for use 
                        by the public to provide information about 
                        illegal drug-related activities.''.
