Definition

  • Myles Ambrose has often been referred to as the U.S. federal government's first “drug czar.” During the time he spent in the Nixon administration, Ambrose helped shape and enact the president's drug enforcement policies. Ambrose was one of the key figures involved with the formation of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which combined several federal agencies, including the Office of Drug Abuse Law Enforcement (ODALE) and the U.S. Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD).
