SUBCHAPTER IV--GENERAL AUTHORITIES AND REQUIREMENTS
Sec. 1736g-1. Assistance in furtherance of narcotics control
objectives of United States
(a) Substantial injury
Local currencies that are made available for use under this chapter
may not be used to finance the production for export of agricultural
commodities (or products thereof) that would compete in the world market
with similar agricultural commodities (or products thereof) produced in
the United States, if such competition would cause substantial injury to
the United States producers, as determined by the President.
(b) Exception for narcotics control
Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, the President may
provide assistance under this chapter, including assistance through the
use of local currencies generated by the sale of commodities under such
chapter, for economic development activities undertaken in an eligible
country that is a major illicit drug producing country (as defined in
section 2291(i)(2) \1\ of title 22), for the purpose of reducing the
dependence of the economy of such country on the production of crops
from which narcotic and psychotropic drugs are derived.
