Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs
- Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs
The Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD) was a predecessor agency of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). It was formed as a subsidiary of the United States Department of Justice in 1968, combining the Bureau of Narcotics (from the United States Department of the Treasury) and Bureau of Drug Abuse Control (from the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare's Food and Drug Administration) into one agency.
In 1971 the BNDD was composed of 1,500 agents and had a budget of some $43 million (which was more than fourteen times the size of the budget of the former Bureau of Narcotics). [ [http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/history/aof/aof11.html The Narcotics Business:John Ingersoll's Version] ]
In January 1971 the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director, Richard Helms, approved a program of "covert recruitment and security clearance support to BNDD", on request of the BNDD director, John Ingersoll.[cite web |url= http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB222/family_jewels_pt1_ocr.pdf |title= CIA's "Family Jewels" - Part 1 |pages=p.29 |accessdate=2008-06-16 |publisher= Central Intelligence Agency] [cite web |url= http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/pubs/history/deahistory_01.htm |title= DEA History Book 1970 - 1975 |accessdate=2008-06-16 |publisher=Drug Enforcement Administration |quote= John E.
