1968 Press Photo Narcotics Commissioner Giordano testifies at House Commerce

Commissioner of Narcotics Henry L. Giordano begins his testimony today before a House Commerce subcommittee, backing administration proposals concerning the drug LSD. Giordano said the absence of a federal law against possession of LSD is one reason for the increase in the use of marijuana. The administration proposal would make LSD possession a misdemeanor punishable by one year in prison and would strengthen penalties against the manufacture, sale and distribution of LSD.
