^ «

The Attorney General as Chairman of the National Drug Enforcement Policy Board is directed to convene the Board to address on an emergency basis the crisis phenomenon that cocaine freebase, "rock" and "crack" cocaine, have caused in communities throughout the Nation. Within 60 days of enactment, the Board is directed to report to the Congress and to develop and implement a national plan of assistance to State and local governments to halt trafficking in rock and crack cocaine; to promote effective law enforcement efforts to identify, investigate, prosecute and incarcerate perpetrators engaged in enterprises involving rock and crack cocaine; and, to foster public understanding of the dangerous effects of this substance on public health and safety. This plan of assistance shall concentrate on methods of using existing laws in such areas as conspiracy, aiding and abetting, forfeiture, possession and trafficking to address this drug with its special potency and distribution characteristics, including the use of rock or freebase houses where the cocaine freebase is processed, distributed, and smoked. The Board's plan should also address those areas where existing law should be amended to strengthen enforcement and prosecution against rock and crack cocaine.
