...state legislation directs government agencies to continue to enforce this law to the letter. Doctors who abuse their prescription privilege by following the new state rules could lose the right to prescribe drugs, said Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman Catherine Shaw. This could prove devastating for physicians, as they need DEA certification to prescribe legal pharmaceuticals. The federal strategy was drawn up by several agencies at the request of President Clinton. The President has yet to review the plan but it has been approved by the DEA, FBI, and the departments of Justice, Transportation and Health and Human Services...

"Since 1990 Puerto Rico has been the focal point for the exportation of cocaine to the mainland from the Caribbean," says Felix Jimenez, who heads the DEA's office there. The island's status as a U.S. commonwealth offers traffickers an extraordinary advantage, since passengers and cargo undergo only perfunctory customs checks to enter the U.S. mainland. Once a shipment of cocaine is smuggled onto the island, it can easily be relayed to American cities...
