Phil Gramm, R-Texas, said 5 he passed out checks to the Houston Police )epartment, the Harris County Sheriff's De- artment and the Texas Department of Public fety. Gramm said the $2,533,163 represented the largest single amount returned to Texas law nforcement agencies under the Justice Depart- lent's Seized and Forfeited Assets program. The program has been in effect since 1986. "This is one of the most pleasant events people in law enforcement have, where we are ible to take the assets that we've seized from rug dealers and forfeit those in federal court and then give them back to local agencies that tiave participated in the investigations," U.S. Attorney Ron Woods said. ou "I've been in this business for 27 years and this is the best statute I've ever seen." Woods noted, however, that it was likely Nothing makes me happier than grabbing some drug thug by the throat, reaching in his wallet, taking money out and giving it to law enforcement," Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas — Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas agents were intercepting only about 10 percent of the drug loot. "It's easy in a tough task like the war on drugs to get frustrated," Gramm said. "There are many reasons to be unhappy. But the good news is we're beginning to see a reduction in drug use among young people." Houston received a checks of more than $1.6 million.

"These checks are not drawn on the House bank," Gramm said, drawing laughter from dozens of officers and agents who attended the affair. Sheriff's department officials said the mon ey would be used for drug education pro grams and surveillance and safety equipment. Texas Department of Public Safety Director James Wilson said his agency's share would be headed for communications equipment and a DNA testing program. Houston will use the money for its drug fighting efforts. Mayor Bob Lanier noted that in the first three months of the year, which co incide with his first three months in office, total violent crime was down in Houston by 15 per cent. Nonviolent crime was off 21 percent. "Probably the biggest scourge we face in our society is illegal drugs," Lanier said. "Law enforcement can only do so much. It's only by all pulling together as a society that we're real ly going to finally shake this curse that modem America has."
