Per Curiam. Contrary to appellant's contention, the
___________

supervised release provision of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of

1986 (ADAA), Pub. L. No. 99-570, 100 Stat. 3207, became

effective on the date of the ADAA's enactment, i.e., October

27, 1986. Gozlon-Peretz v. United States, 498 U.S. 395
_____________ _____________

(1991). The no-parole provisions of the ADAA became

effective on that date, as well. United States v. De Los
_____________ ______

Santos-Himitola, 924 F.2d 380, 381 (1st Cir. 1991). And,
_______________

although Gozlon-Peretz involved 21 U.S.C. 841 (controlled
_____________

substances), we have held that its rationale applies equally

to the parallel provisions in 21 U.S.C. 960 (controlled

substance on board vessel subject to jurisdiction of United

States). Padilla Palacios v. United States, 932 F.2d 31, 33-
________________ _____________

34 (1st Cir. 1991). The appellant is not eligible for parole

and his sentence, which included a 5 year term of supervised

release, was lawful.

The judgment of the district court, dated September 23,

1992, and the amended judgment, dated October 1, 1992, are

affirmed.
