Background

    High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA's) are areas 
identified as having the most critical drug trafficking problems that 
adversely impact the rest of the country. The Director of the Office of 
National Drug Control Policy designates areas as HIDTA's pursuant to 
the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, as amended. In 1990, five areas were 
designated as HIDTA's--Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, and 
the Southwest Border, which extends from California through Texas.
    The National Institute of Justice is soliciting proposals to 
conduct an assessment of the HIDTA program in the five original sites. 
Funding for this award is tentatively set at $200,000. Interested
