allocated to carry out this subsection shall remain available until expended, notwithstanding any other provision of law. SEC. 4306. ILLICIT DRUG PRODUCTION AND TRAFFICKING IN PAKISTAN. In making determinations with respect to Pakistan pursuant to section 481(h)(2)(A)(i) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, the President shall take into account the extent to which the Government of Pakistan— (1) is increeising the number of illicit laboratories destroyed and is vigorously prosecuting and punishing the owners and operators of such laboratories; (2) is increasing the number of arrests and successful prosecutions of violators, with particular emphasis on putting major traffickers out of business; and (3) has made changes in Pakistani legal codes in order to enable Pakistani law enforcement officials to move more effectively against narcotics traffickers, such as new conspiracy laws and new asset seizure laws. SEC. 4307. UNITED STATES RELIANCE ON LICIT OPIUM GUM FROM FOREIGN SOURCES. (a) REVIEW REQUIRED.—The President shall conduct a review of United States narcotics raw material policy to determine— (1) the current and reserve international needs for opiumderived pharmaceutical and chemical products, and the relative capabilities for meeting those needs through the opium gum process and the concentrated poppy straw method of production; (2) whether the United States should continue to rely on a single foreign country for all its licit opium gum; (3) whether it should be United States policy to encourage all countries which produce licit opium to use the concentrated poppy straw method of production; and (4) what options are available, consistent with treaties to which the United States is a party, to reduce United States reliance on licit opium gum from foreign sources. (h) REPORT TO CONGRESS.—The results of this review shall be reported to the Congress not later than 6 months after the date of enactment of this Act. SEC. 4308. AFGHANISTAN AS A HEROIN SOURCE. (a) FINDING.—The Congress finds that Afghanistan remains the source of most of the heroin exported from southwest Asia.
