Thank you, please proceed.Mr. Jaffe. Thank you very much. I am pleased to contribute tothe work of this committee at your kind invitation, and am gratefulfor the opportunity to discuss with you the role that the technicalcommunity should be playing in the control of narcotic and dangerousdrugs. I will suggest how the application of technology could makesome significant contribution to the solution of the pressing and criticalproblems of drug abuse and to the control thereof : I will describesome typical benefits that may be derived from the adaptation of advancedtechniques; and I will suggest a program for realizing suchbenefits.A little less than a year ago this committee heard a presentation byDr. William F. Ulrich of Beckman Instruments in which he outlinedthe ways in which scientific and engineering capabilities could contributeto drug control. He touched on the subjects of technologytransfer and systems analysis, and I would like to expand on thosetopics to show how some specific programs might assist those conductingthe fight against illicit drug production and distribution.Suggestions on how to solve the drug problem differ as to approach.There are those who argue for an attack on the sources: Foreigngrowers of opium and local manufacturers of psychotropic substances.
