The Department in fiscal year 1977 concentrated resources in the areas of white-collar crime, organized crime, public corruption, and drug trafficking. The number of special narcotics prosecution units was increased from 19 to 22. In addition, three specially trained teams of agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Drug Enforcement Administration were set up in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles to investigate drug trafficking by organized crime. Grand juries returned indictments charging nationwide conspiracies to fix prices in the anthracite coal and paper bag industries, and a regional conspiracy to eliminate discounts in the sale of industrial cane sugar. The Attorney General set forth a new policy on dual prosecutions in civil rights cases involving law enforcement officers. Under the policy, civil rights statutes are to be enforced in their own right, regardless of whatever related enforcement action had been taken by the States. Figures, tables, citations
