HR3100 Included in Crime Bill Mark-up

Language calling for a high level objective commission to study
the nation's drug laws and to make recommendations for revisions
** has been included ** in the joint House-Senate "mark-up" of
the Crime Bill.  It is very likely that this marked-up harmonized
version of the House and the Senate Crime Bills will be passed.
This means that the essential provisions of Representative Don
Edwards' HR3100, which arose from the original Hoover Institution
Resolution is included in the conference committee recommendation
for the bill and is likely to pass into law.  This information
has been verified by Rep. Edwards' office.

Activists are requested to contact their Senators and
Congresspersons and ask them to make sure that the "HR3100
Objective Commission" language be retained in the final Crime
Bill.
