 PUBLIC LAW 107-82—DEC. 14, 2001 115 STAT. 817 „-. (7) According to the 2001 report of the National Center ',' on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University entitled "Shoveling Up: The Impact of Substance Abuse on State Budgets", using the most conservative assumption, in 1998 States spent $77,900,000,000 to shovel up the wreckage of substance abuse, only $3,000,000,000 to prevent and treat the problem and $433,000,000 for alcohol and tobacco regulation and compliance. This $77,900,000,000 burden was distributed as follows: (A) $30,700,000,000 in the justice system (77 percent of justice spending). (B) $16,500,000,000 in education costs (10 percent of education spending). (C) $15,200,000,000 in health costs (25 percent of health spending). (D) $7,700,000,000 in child and family assistance (32 percent of child and family assistance spending). (E) $5,900,000,000 in mental health and developmental disabilities (31 percent of mental health spending). (F) $1,500,000,000 in public safety (26 percent of public safety spending) and $400,000,000 for the state workforce. • (8) Intergovernmental cooperation and coordination through national, State, and local or tribal leadership and partnerships are critical to facilitate the reduction of substance abuse among youth in communities across the United States. (9) Substance abuse is perceived as a much greater problem nationally than at the community level. According to a 2001 study sponsored by The Pew Charitable Trusts, between 1994 and 2000— (A) there was a 43 percent increase in the percentage of Americans who felt progress was being made in the war on drugs at the community level; (B) only 9 percent of Americans say drug abuse is a "crisis" in their neighborhood, compared to 27 percent who say this about the nation; and (C) the percentage of those who felt we lost ground in the war on drugs on a community level fell by more than a quarter, from 51 percent in 1994 to 37 percent in 2000. (b) EXTENSION AND INCREASE OF PROGRAM.— Section 1024(a) of the National Narcotics Leadership Act of 1988 (21 U.S.C. 1524(a)) is amended— (1) by striking "and" at the end of paragraph (4); and (2) by striking paragraph (5) and inserting the following new paragraphs: "(5) $50,600,000 for fiscal year 2002; "(6) $60,000,000 for fiscal year 2003; "(7) $70,000,000 for fiscal year 2004; "(8) $80,000,000 for fiscal year 2005; "(9) $90,000,000 for fiscal year 2006; and " (10) $99,000,000 for fiscal year 2007. ".
