Abstract: 
Last month H.R. 3404, the "Narcotics Control Trade Act" was introduced in Congress.  H.R. 3404 provides that the products of drug producing nations will not be eligible for most-favored-nation trade status when the President determines that a country is not cooperating with the U.S. to control and eliminate the illicit cultivation and production of illicit narcotics, psychotropic drugs, or other controlled substances, and to suppress the illicit trafficking and smuggling of these substances.  The bill has 25 cosponsors, and little opposition is expected.
