Daily Press, 16 Oct 2010 – A letter to the editor in the Wall Street Journal Thursday came from John Fisher, the lead Office of Management and Budget on an interagency drug interdiction task force involving the White House Office of Drug Policy, the Office of Management and Budget, (Immigration Service-Border Patrol and Drug Enforcement Administration) and Treasury (Customs Service) in the 1970s. Mr. Fisher pointed out that his office presented conclusions to White House staff and to Treasury and Justice and leadership "based on estimates that we were interdiction about 5 percent of marijuana and about the same singledigit percent of ‘hard’ drugs coming across U.S. Borders."
