1990 - Pub. L. 101-625 amended section generally. Prior to
amendment, section read as follows: "The Congress finds that -
"(1) the Federal Government has a duty to provide public
housing that is decent, safe, and free from illegal drugs;
"(2) public housing projects in many areas suffer from rampant
drug-related crime;
"(3) drug dealers are increasingly imposing a reign of terror
on public housing tenants;
"(4) the increase in drug-related crime not only leads to
murders, muggings, and other forms of violence against tenants,
but also to a deterioration of the physical environment that
requires substantial government expenditures; and
"(5) local law enforcement authorities often lack the resources
to deal with the drug problem in public housing, particularly in
light of the recent reductions in Federal aid to cities."
