(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Presidential Decision Directive 42, issued on October
21, 1995, ordered agencies of the executive branch of the United
States Government to, inter alia, increase the priority and
resources devoted to the direct and immediate threat
international crime presents to national security, work more
closely with other governments to develop a global response to
this threat, and use aggressively and creatively all legal means
available to combat international crime.

Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) to target
and apply sanctions to four international narcotics traffickers
and their organizations that operate from Colombia.
(3) IEEPA was successfully applied to international
narcotics traffickers in Colombia and based on that successful
case study, Congress believes similar authorities should be
applied worldwide.
(4) There is a national emergency resulting from the
activities of international narcotics traffickers and their
organizations that threatens the national security, foreign
policy, and economy of the United States.
(b) Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United States to apply
