``(1) In general.--
``(A) Requirement.--The Director shall ensure that,
of the amounts appropriated for a fiscal year for the
Program, at least $15,000,000 is allocated to combat
the trafficking of methamphetamine in areas designated
by the Director as high intensity drug trafficking
areas.
``(B) Activities.--In meeting the requirement in
subparagraph (A), the Director shall transfer funds to
appropriate Federal, State, and local governmental
agencies for employing additional Federal law
enforcement personnel, or facilitating the employment
of additional State and local law enforcement
personnel, including agents, investigators,
prosecutors, laboratory technicians, chemists,
investigative assistants, and drug prevention
specialists.
``(2) Apportionment of funds.--
``(A) Factors in apportionment.--The Director shall
apportion amounts allocated under paragraph (1) among
areas designated by the Director as high intensity drug
trafficking areas based on the following factors:
``(i) The number of methamphetamine
manufacturing facilities discovered by Federal,
State, or local law enforcement officials in
the area during the previous fiscal year.
``(ii) The number of methamphetamine
prosecutions in Federal, State, or local courts
in the area during the previous fiscal year.
``(iii) The number of methamphetamine
arrests by Federal, State, or local law
enforcement officials in the area during the
previous fiscal year.
``(iv) The amounts of methamphetamine or
listed chemicals (as that term is defined in
section 102(33) of the Controlled Substances
Act (21 U.S.C. 802(33)) seized by Federal,
State, or local law enforcement officials in
the area during the previous fiscal year.
``(v) Intelligence and predictive data from

Intelligence Center.
``(p) Authorization of Appropriations.--There is authorized to be
appropriated to the Office of National Drug Control Policy to carry out
this section--

2011.''.
SEC. 10. FUNDING FOR CERTAIN HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS.
(a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Dawson Family
Community Protection Act''.
(b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) In the early morning hours of October 16, 2002, the
home of Carnell and Angela Dawson was firebombed in apparent
retaliation for Mrs. Dawson's notification of police about
persistent drug distribution activity in their East Baltimore
City neighborhood.
(2) The arson claimed the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Dawson and
their 5 young children, aged 9 to 14.
(3) The horrific murder of the Dawson family is a stark
example of domestic narco-terrorism.
(4) In all phases of counter-narcotics law enforcement--
from prevention to investigation to prosecution to reentry--the
voluntary cooperation of ordinary citizens is a critical
component.
(5) Voluntary cooperation is difficult for law enforcement
officials to obtain when citizens feel that cooperation carries
the risk of violent retaliation by illegal drug trafficking
organizations and their affiliates.
(6) Public confidence that law enforcement is doing all it
can to make communities safe is a prerequisite for voluntary
cooperation among people who may be subject to intimidation or
reprisal (or both).
(7) Witness protection programs are insufficient on their
own to provide security because many individuals and families
who strive every day to make distressed neighborhoods livable
for their children, other relatives, and neighbors will resist
or refuse offers of relocation by local, State, and Federal
prosecutorial agencies and because, moreover, the continued
presence of strong individuals and families is critical to
preserving and strengthening the social fabric in such
communities.
(8) Where (as in certain sections of Baltimore City)
interstate trafficking of illegal drugs has severe ancillary
local consequences within areas designated as high intensity
drug trafficking areas, it is important that supplementary High
Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program funds be committed to
support initiatives aimed at making the affected communities
safe for the residents of those communities and encouraging
their cooperation with local, State, and Federal law
enforcement efforts to combat illegal drug trafficking.
(c) Funding for Certain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas.--
Section 707 (21 U.S.C. 1706), as amended by section 9, is further
amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
``(q) Specific Purposes.--
``(1) In general.--The Director shall ensure that, of the
amounts appropriated for a fiscal year for the Program, at
least $7,000,000 is used in high intensity drug trafficking
areas with severe neighborhood safety and illegal drug
distribution problems.
``(2) Required uses.--The funds used under paragraph (1)
shall be used--
``(A) to ensure the safety of neighborhoods and the
protection of communities, including the prevention of
the intimidation of potential witnesses of illegal drug
distribution and related activities; and
``(B) to combat illegal drug trafficking through
such methods as the Director considers appropriate,
such as establishing or operating (or both) a toll-free
telephone hotline for use by the public to provide
information about illegal drug-related activities.''.
