Please join us on Thursday, October 25th at 11:00 a.m. as Gene Haislip, former DEA Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control (retired) provides an informal narrative of the development of chemical control law and programs. A particular point of emphasis will be the manner in which an effective strategy was developed to simultaneously address both foreign and domestic aspects of a drug and chemical problem and how operations, intelligence, national laws and technical diplomacy were, and must be, organized together to find and execute such a strategy.
