            (2) in subsection (a), by striking ``It shall'' and all 
        that follows and inserting the following: ``It shall be 
        unlawful for any person to manufacture or distribute a 
        controlled substance in schedule I or II or flunitrazepam or a 
        listed chemical intending, knowing, or having reasonable cause 
        to believe that such substance or chemical will be unlawfully 
        imported into the United States or into waters within a 
        distance of 12 miles of the coast of the United States.
    ``(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to manufacture or

offense that only 1 member of the conspiracy intended, knew, or had 
reasonable cause to believe that the controlled substance would be 
unlawfully imported into the United States.''.
