Summary

On December 11, 2007, the Commission voted to give retroactive effect to the recent crack cocaine amendment and adopted other modifications to the policy statement covering retroactivity.

Official text of the amendments will be posted on the Commission's website at www.ussc.gov and can be found in the Federal Register.
