Over the past decade the DEA has not effectively followed through with the mission of limiting the production and deterring the distribution of legitimate chemicals into illicit channels. Because the DEA has failed in this area of greatest importance and of proven effectiveness; a new approach to Chemical Control should be pursued.
An Agency of Diversion Control should be established which would be separated from the DEA, as an effort to split the unique responsibilities of controlling chemicals, from the traditional law-enforcement roles and objectives of the DEA.
