DISCUSSION PAPER FOR THE DEPUTIES COMMITTEE
Item II
EXPANDED DRAFT AGENDA PAPER
The Presidents consider that a strategy which commits the parties to implement or
strengthen a comprehensive, intensified anti-narcotics program must address the issues
of reduction of demand and consumption, as well as include understandings regarding
economic cooperation and alternative development; understandings regarding attacking
the trade in illicit drugs; and understandings regarding diplomatic and public
diplomacy initiatives.
The Presidents recognize that these areas are interconnected and self-reinforcing.
Progress in one area will help achieve progress in others, failure in any of the areas
could threaten success in the others. The order in which they are addressed here
does not assign to them any particular priority. Indeed, economic cooperation and
international initiatives cannot be effective unless there are concomitant strong
programs attacking the trade in illicit drugs.
The parties will negotiate bilateral agreements specifying their responsibilities and
commitments with regard to economic cooperation and intensified enforcement actions.
A.
UNDERSTANDINGS REGARDING ECONOMIC COOPERATION AND
ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT
Despite their highly distortionary effect on the economies of the Andean
parties, illicit coca earnings contribute to foreign exchange inflows, job creation and
incomes. Therefore, the suppression of the coca trade will cause severe, immediate
and long-term dislocations, not only in the coca-producing areas, but throughout the
producing countries. The four parties recognize the destabilizing efforts of eliminating
a major, though illicit, income earner. The US will request that Congress make
available new program funds during FY 91-94 to assist the three Andean parties in
their efforts to redress the short- and long-term economic dislocations that occur as a
result of effective counternarcotics efforts. Provision of USG economic cooperation
each year will depend upon effective counternarcotics actions by the three Andean
parties. The three Andean parties recognize that sound economic policies are an
essential prerequisite to outside cooperation and to the effective utilization of
development assistance. The US is also prepared to cooperate with the three Andean
parties in a variety of other development, trade and investment initiatives to enhance
and sustain long-term economic adjustment and growth.

Mitigation of the Social and Economic Costs of Attacking the Trade in Illegal
Drugs
As the three Andean parties implement effective interdiction and eradication
programs, fast-disbursing assistance will be required to mitigate the social and
economic costs at the micro and macro level. The parties will cooperate to identify
the type of assistance required. The US is prepared to provide balance of payments
support to finance imports and help service international financial institution debts.
The US will also consider funding for social emergency programs, such as the
successful Bolivia program, to provide food supplies, employment opportunities, etc. for
the rural poor most directly affected by counter-narcotics efforts.
Crop Substitution and Alternate Economic Activities
Our joint intention is that counter-narcotics efforts will disrupt the markets for
coca and lower the prices paid for coca leaf. As these efforts succeed, persons
engaged in coca cultivation and primary processing will require alternative sources of
income whether through crop substitution or other employment. The parties will
cooperate to identify alternate income activities for external funding. The US is
prepared to consider funding activities such as agricultural research, extension, credit
and other supporting services; market development; and support for private sector-led
initiatives for development of small-scale business and agro-industry.
Development Cooperation
To promote expanded job and income opportunities throughout their economies,
the three Andean parties will require external economic cooperation and sound
economic policies leading to long-term, sustainable economic growth. The US will
support efforts to stimulate broad-based rural development; develop non-traditional
exports; build productive infrastructure; etc. The parties will identify the economic
assistance required and internal policy reforms needed to assure economic adjustment
and sustainable alternative development. The US is prepared to fund this type of
development activity in cooperation with other bilateral and multilateral institutions.
Trade Initiatives and Investment Incentives
Trade initiatives and investment incentives are also essential to facilitate
sustained economic growth and to help offset the economic dislocations that occur as
a result of an effective counter-narcotics program. The US is already providing
cooperation in identifying potential benefits under GSP and developing export
promotion strategies. Among other trade initiatives to be offered are technical

trade; priority attention to negotiating a new international coffee agreement which

UNDERSTANDINGS REGARDING ATTACKING THE TRADE IN ILLICIT
DRUGS
The trade in illicit drugs must be attacked at each link of the chain --
production, transportation, and consumption. At the same time the flow of money
from the consumers back to the producers must be attacked at each step along the
way in order to make it more difficult for the traffickers to move the profits through
the domestic and international banking system, to make it more difficult for them to
enjoy these ill gotten gains, and to disrupt their ability to purchase the coca leaf from
the farmers and pay the processors who refine the leaf. The assets of the traffickers,
the chemicals used to refine the product, and the ships and planes used to transport
drugs must also be identified, seized, and then confiscated by the affected government.
These efforts, to be successful, must be carried out simultaneously, vigorously, and in a
coordinated fashion employing both police and military forces, prosecutors, and courts.
Interdiction
A battle against an illicit product must focus on the trade in that product.
Interdiction of cocaine as it moves from producer to consumer is essential. Clearly
efforts can be most effective where the product is concentrated and where it is most
vulnerable. By the time it reaches the streets for distribution -- whether in Lima or
Los Angeles, Bogota or Birmingham -- equivalent the law enforcement effort produces
a lower return. Cooperation between the producer, transit, and consuming countries is
essential. Consistent with respect for the internationally recognized standards for
human rights, the parties pledge to step up their efforts within their own countries to
interdict illegal drugs and to increase coordination and cooperation among each other
to facilitate this battle. The US is ready to provide increased cooperation in
equipment and training to the police officers of the three Andean parties.
Military Involvement in the Drug War
In the war against illicit drugs, all resources must be brought to bear. While
efforts to enforce the criminal laws of a nation are generally left to the police, the
drug traffickers often have greater resources than the police forces, or operate in areas
where remoteness or insurgent activity makes normal police operations impossible.
Military forces can provide transportation, patrol rivers and coastlines, provide security
against insurgents, and move directly against major concentrations of traffickers and
their laboratories. The US military will assist US law enforcement agencies interdict
illegal drugs in transit to the US in international waters and air space. Depending on
the success of the three Andean parties' enforcement operations, the US
Administration will request its Congress to provide additional police and military
cooperations for the three Andean countries. The cooperation is to be used to
support the military to attack guerrillas who are in geographic proximity or de facto
alliance with the narco traffickers.

Coordination Between Law Enforcement and the Military
With a full effort against trafficking from both law enforcement and military
forces, coordination between the two becomes crucial, in order to avoid duplication of
effort, to prevent inadvertent encounters between law enforcement and military units,
and to make efforts against traffickers more effective. The US must tailor its
cooperation and will work with other donors to the same end -- to facilitate
coordination between police and military.
Police, Military and Intelligence Cooperation
Intelligence cooperation multiplies the impact of other efforts. Cooperation in
this field is necessary both among the countries and within each country. Of course,
sensitive intelligence must be properly controlled so as not to compromise law
enforcement and interdiction operations, jeopardize the safety of police and military
personnel, or undermine prosecutions of drug traffickers. The four parties commit
themselves to improving intelligence coordination among themselves and within each
country.
Eradication and Discouragement of New Coca Plantings
Coca eradication should be an essential component of a nation's overall strategy
to attack the trade of illicit drugs. Careful case-by-case consideration must be given to
aerial and manual eradication programs -- for their potential effect on total country
production, for their marginal costs and benefits when compared to other counter-drug
programs in the same country or areas, and for their likely political consequences.
Where environmental studies demonstrate that herbicidal eradication is safe, then
aerial eradication should begin. The parties support eradication programs and further
agree to work toward sustaining suppression of coca cultivation --after eradication-- by
actively preventing new planting of coca. Eradicating, whether voluntary or
involuntary, becomes an endless endeavor if offset by new plantings. New economic
opportunities must be fostered as outlined (in Part A) above in order to discourage
farmers from expanding their planting and to discourage newcomers from moving into
the production of coca.
Financial Controls, Including Money Laundering
Massive drug-generated wealth gives drug traffickers the capability to
penetrate -- and potentially dominate-- both legitimate and illegitimate commercial
markets, to corrupt government and law enforcement officials, and to destabilize
governments. The parties agree to identify, trace, freeze, seize, and confiscate drug
crime proceeds in their respective countries; to attack financial aspects of the drug
trade, by adopting strong measures to criminalize money laundering; and then
effectively to prosecute drug traffickers and money launderers who use the domestic or
international financial system to disguise and move criminally derived funds.

Judicial Protection and Reform
Enforcement of narcotics laws is severely hampered by inefficiencies of criminal
justice systems, as well as intimidation and bribery by narcotics traffickers. The parties
agree to give priority to identification of reform of both a normative and institutional
nature necessary to revitalize their criminal justice processes, to provide for the rapid
and effective prosecution of these criminals, and to work together with each other, as
appropriate, to implement these measures. Such measures will include steps to
provide physical protection of judicial personnel. The parties recognize the value of
international cooperation in strengthening the administration of justice, including the
protection of judicial personnel and prosecutors involved in narcotics cases, as an
essential underpinning for democratic institutions.
Control of Illegal Weapons, Planes and Ships
The cocaine industry is heavily dependent on weapons and air and maritime
transportation throughout the growing-production-distribution process. The parties
agree to strengthen control over movement of illegal weapons and over sale, resale
and registration of aircraft and maritime vessels. With the cooperation and assistance
of the US, the three Andean parties agree to establish control programs that include
aircraft and vessel registration, effective seizure laws that lead to successful
prosecutions and aircraft/vessel seizures, controls on pilot licenses, training, registration
of airfields, and control of access to fuel and other consumables. The US agrees to
stem illegal weapons exports from the US by effectively using existing legislation to
control export of US-made armaments to narco-traffickers in the Andean region.
:
Control of Precursor Chemicals
Chemicals diverted from legitimate commerce are critical to the production of
cocaine. In addition to improving US export controls, there is a need to control the
imports and distribution of precursor chemicals in order to prevent their diversion for
use in the production of cocaine. The parties agree that an emphasis must be on
interdicting the movement of chemicals that have already entered the country, legally
or illegally, and are being diverted for coca processing. This includes controlling
choke points -- critical river junctures, port facilities, airfields, and chemical
distribution and transportation facilities -- as well as establishing investigative and
monitoring programs, in close cooperation with all the parties' law enforcement
agencies. Furthermore, the three Andean parties agree to develop an internal system
to track chemicals through the sale, resale, and distribution to the end user. The
parties agree to cooperate bilaterally and multilaterally to provide each other with
information necessary to track domestic and international movements of precursor
chemicals for the purpose of controlling their sale and monitoring their movement.
Seizing and Sharing of Assets
A well-developed and efficiently managed asset forfeiture program will produce
valuable monetary and political benefits for government and law enforcement agencies.
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE

A program should include mechanisms for the seizure and eventual forfeiture of
properties and assets which are either the proceeds of drug-related offenses or
employed in the commission of such offenses. Assets subject to forfeiture should
include real and personal property and assets equivalent to assets derived from the
proceeds of drug-related offenses, including money laundering. The parties pledge to
take the steps necessary to enact legislation and implement an effective program.
Legal Cooperation, Including Extradition Procedures
The parties pledge to ratify the 1988 Vienna Convention on Narcotic Drugs and
then effectively to carry out its provisions regarding criminalizing all aspects of
narcotics trafficking, money laundering, and related offenses (including criminal
conspiracy offenses); mutual legal assistance; assets confiscation and sharing; and
related measures.
The parties pledge to effectively implement existing extradition treaties and
related arrangements, including Article 36 of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic
Drugs, as amended by the 1972 Protocol. In furtherance of this objective, appropriate
legal teams from each country will meet with their counterparts, as necessary, to
discuss appropriate and effective extradition mechanisms.
The parties pledge to cooperate in the sharing of evidence, in forms admissible
in judicial proceeding, through informal cooperative mechanisms and, as necessary,
appropriate bilateral agreements.
C.
UNDERSTANDING REGARDING DIPLOMATIC AND PUBLIC
DIPLOMACY INITIATIVES
The drug problem transcends borders, threatens national and international
security, and erodes the economic and social fabric of our nations. It is critical that
all people and governments are aware of this grave threat and mount a political and
economic response to meet the objective to reduce demand for drugs, curb illicit
production, and destroy the drug trafficking organizations. To this end, the parties
commit themselves to use every opportunity and every viable institution to carry out
programs aimed at achieving our objective. A major strategy is to strengthen anti-
narcotics cooperation and coordination between donor and recipient countries.
Building Public Support for an Intensification of the Battle Against the
Trafficking Networks
Eliminating the drug menace in consuming, producing, and trafficking countries
requires intensive information and public diplomacy efforts directed at increasing
public awareness of the personal and societal dangers of drug use and the threat to
national security of drug production and trafficking. The four Presidents have
dedicated their governments to closer cooperation in efforts to reduce demand for
drugs. They have agreed to intensify their work in the development of joint public
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE

awareness programs; the exchange of ideas, information, and experts in the field; and
the sharing of demand reduction experience. The parties also call upon all countries
to work toward the establishment of an international public awareness campaign that
will highlight the reality of the drug trafficking networks and enlist the political and
financial support required to wage an effective international anti-narcotics war.
Economic Summit
At the July Paris meeting of the Summit Seven, a narcotics related Finanical
Action Task Force consisting of summit members and non-members was established to
identify how governments might facilitate cooperation and effective action againt drug
money laundering. The parties will call upon the members of the Summit Seven and
other participants in the Financial Action Task Force to give priority to consideration
to economic measures which will aid in the reduction of illicit cultivation and the
building of legal and judicial institutions in those countries most affected by the illicit
cultivation and trafficking of drugs. The US will host the next Economic Summit, next
July in Houston, Texas, and will use this position to place the anti-narcotics battle
high on the summit agenda.
:
Multilateral/Bilateral Approaches and Coordination
Economic adjustment and sustained economic growth will require more
economic cooperation and trade and investment incentives than can be provided by
the US alone. The parties will make a concerted effort to enlist the support of
multilateral institutions and other economic partners as the three Andean nations
implement an effective counter-narcotics program and sound economic policies. The
US has already made such an approach to the OECD through its Development
Assistance Committee (DAC) in December 1989, and many of our European partners.
The parties will call upon the multilateral and international organizations to develop a
strategic approach to the Andean anti-narcotics program to ensure that their
cooperation is maximized and takes into account the special economic and
development needs of the Andean parties.
--
Report to UN Special Session on Narcotics
The United Nations has recognized that the drug problem is a major threat to
international security and economic stability. The UN has called for an Anti-Narcotics
Global Action Plan to energize the UN agencies which have drug control mandates.
A special session of the United Nations will be held Feb 20-30, 1989, to discuss the
magnitude of the world-wide drug problem. The parties urge that during this special
session the UN give priority attention to identification of substantive programs for
strengthening the multilateral response to the drug problem as mandated in UNGA
Resolution L.36.
Madrid Tri-Lateral Meeting on Drugs
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE
8
At the November 1989 Madrid Trilateral conference generous offers of support
by Italy and Spain were made to Peru, Colombia, and Bolivia for law enforcement
activities relating to their anti-narcotics activities. As follow-up to the meeting, Spain
and Italy presented the case for increased European financial cooperation with the
Andean countries during the December Trevi meeting in Paris. The parties will
coordinate closely to identify other actions necessary to maximize European
cooperation in the anti-narcotics effort.
:
Approaches to Transit Countries
Drugs often move through transit countries on the way to the consumer
countries, and narco corruption has begun to undermine institutions in the transit
countries as well as in the producing and consuming countries. An effective
interdiction strategy requires cooperation with and from these countries. The parties
pledge to cooperate with transit countries in repressing the transit of drugs. Such
collaboration shall include the provision of expertise and assistance to enable their law
enforcement authorities to identify and track illicit movements of drugs through their
territory.
Call for a Follow-Up Meeting
To pursue the objectives agreed to at the summit and to ensure long-term
commitment of our countries to continue the fight, the parties call for a follow-up
meeting in six months to bring together those nations which dedicate themselves to the
elimination of consumption, trafficking and illicit production of drugs.

IT IS 2.00 A PLEASURE ТОЛАССЕР THE INVITATION EXTENDED AT ICA
TO JOIN YOU AND THE PRESIDENTS OF PERU AND BOLIVIA IN
CARTAGENA ON FEBRUARY 15 TO PARTICIPATE IN A FOUR-COUNTRY
ANDEAN SUMMIT ON THE PROBLEM OF NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING.
YOUR DEMONSTRATED COURAGE IN CONFRONTING THE TRAFFICKERS
WILL PROVIDE INSPIRATION AND PURPOSE TO THE MEETING, AND I
AM CONFIDENT THAT TOGETHER WE CAN ACCOMPLISH MUCH.
IT IS MY HOPE THAT AT THE SUMMIT WE CAN AGREE ON A BROAD
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK WITHIN WHICH WE CAN INTENSIFY AND
COORDINATE THE ANTI-NARCOTICS EFFORTS OF OUR GOVERNMENTS.
WE MUST JOINTLY ATTACK ALL ELEMENTS OF THE COCAINE NETWORK
FROM PRODUCTION OF COCA LEAF, THROUGH PROCESSING, AND
SHIPMENT TO THE CONSUMERS. AT THE SAME TIME WE MUST DEAL
WITH THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF THE COCAINE NETWORK. THIS
MEANS WE MUST WORK ASSIDUOUSLY TO REDUCE DEMAND IN THE
CONSUMING COUNTRIES AND WE MUST OFFER LEGITIMATE
ALTERNATIVES TO THE FARMERS IN THE PRODUCING COUNTRIES WHO
ARE CULTIVATING COCA.
THIS SUMMIT WILL GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEAL DIRECTLY
WITH EACH OTHER ON ISSUES OF VITAL INTEREST TO OUR

L. PRE-SUMMIT PLANNING:
AT THE NOVEMBER 16 BREAKFAST (REFTEL), IT WAS AGREED THAT
THE THREE ANDEANS WOULD HAVE THEIR AMBASSADORS TO
WASHINGTON PLUS TWO EXPERTS FROM EACH COUNTRY MEET AT
STATE NOVEMBER 27-28 TO DISCUSS THEIR REACTION TO THE
DRAFT AGENDA AND TO ESTABLISH SCHEDULES FOR THE MEETING OF
THE WORKING GROUPS. OUR HOPE IS TO HAVE SIX OR FEWER
WORKING GROUPS. THE DRAFT AGENDA IS SET UP IN SUCH A MAY
AS TO LEND ITSELF TO THE FORMATION OF FOUR INITIAL WORKING
GROUPS -- ONE FOR EACH COMMITMENT UNDER POINT THREE, PLUS
A FIFTH GROUP THAT WOULD NEGOTIATE THE COMMUNIQUE.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY ARONSON IS NOW PLANNING TO TRAVEL TO
BOGOTA, LIMA, AND LA PAZ THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 10 TO MEET
WITH THE THREE PRESIDENTS AND OTHER HOST COUNTRY OFFICIALS
AND DEAL WITH OUTSTANDING ISSUES. (SCHEDULE FOR THE TRIP
WILL BE SENT SEPTEL.}
THE FORMINS AGREED THAT THEIR JANUARY 10 EXPERTS MEETING
IN STA. CRUZ, BOLIVIA WOULD CONVENE FIRST WITH THE THREE
ANDEANS ONLY, BUT THEN WOULD RECONVENE IMMEDIATELY
THEREAFTER IN THE SAME LOCATION WITH us PARTICIPATION.
TALKING POINTS:
7. us STRATEGY AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SUMMIT
-- THERE ARE NO EASY SOLUTIONS TO THE COMPLEX PROBLEM OF
COCAINE TRAFFICKING. ALL OF OUR COUNTRIES HAVE COMPETING
PRIORITIES CRYING FOR ATTENTION AND RESOURCES. BUT WE DO
NOT HAVE THE LUXURY OF IGNORING THE COCAINE PROBLEM. WE
MUST WORK IN THE US TO REDUCE DEMAND AND TO INTERDICT
COCAINE ON OUR OWN SHORES. BOLIVIA AND PERU NEED TO MOVE
MORE AGGRESSIVELY AGAINST THE NETWORKS IN THEIR
COUNTRIES. WE MUST DO THIS FOR OUR SAKES AND WE MUST DO
THIS IN ORDER TO EASE THE PRESSURE ON PRESIDENT BARCO IN
COLOMBIA, WHO IS COURAGEOUSLY WITHSTANDING THE BRUNT OF
THE FURY OF THE CARTELS.
-- THE FIRST PRIORITY OF PRESIDENT BUSH'S INTERNATIONAL
STRATEGY IS TO STRENGTHEN OUR COUNTERNARCOTICS PROGRAMS IN
CONF IDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
5
THE ANDES. A SUCCESSFUL EFFORT AGAINST COCAINE
TRAFFICKING AND COCA CULTIVATION IN THE ANDES WILL REQUIRE
UNPRECEDENTED COOPERATION AMONG OUR FOUR COUNTRIES.
-- FOLLOWING THE SUGGESTION OF PRESIDENT BARCO, WE ARE ALL
IN AGREEMENT THAT THE SUMMIT SHOULD BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 15
IN CARTAGENA.
-- WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER IF THE ANDEAN SUMMIT MEETING
IS TO MARK THE SUCCESSFUL INITIATION OF AN INTENSIFIED,
COMPREHENSIVE CAMPAIGN TO CONTROL COCAINE TRAFFICKING.
-- THE SUMMIT WILL NEED TO BE CAREFULLY PREPARED. AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE, WE NEED TO ESTABLISH WORKING GROUPS TO
NEGOTIATE THE COMMUNIQUE AND ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS THAT
MIGHT BE SIGNED AT THE SUMMIT.
-- WE ARE THINKING OF THE COMMUNIQUE IN TERMS OF A BROAD
STRATEGIC AGREEMENT OUTLINING OUR JOINT STRATEGY FOR
FIGHTING THE COCAINE NETWORKS AND FOR HELPING DEVELOP
LEGITIMATE ECONOMIC ENTERPRISE. IT MIGHT ALSO COVER.
FUTURE PLANS TO WORK JOINTLY ON SUCH ISSUES AS THE CONTROL
OF PRECURSOR CHEMICALS, SHARING OF SEIZED ASSETS, MONEY
LAUNDERING, AND JUDICIAL PROTECTION AND REFORM.
-- BUILDING ON THE NOV. 16 MEETING OF THE THREE FOREIGN
MINISTERS WITH ASSISTANT SECRETARIES LEVITSKY AND ARONSON
AND THE NOV. 27-28 EXPERTS MEETING, A/S ARONSON WOULD LIKE
TO MEET WITH YOU DURING THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 10.
-- THE PRESIDENT'S STRATEGY CALLS FOR OVER USD 2.0 LLION
IN INCREASED ECONOMIC, SECURITY, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND
INTELLIGENCE ASSISTANCE TO BOLIVIA, PERU, AND COLOMBIA
OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. IN ADDITION THE PRESIDENT HAS
ALREADY ANNOUNCED A PACKAGE OF TRADE INITIATIVES AND WE
ARE LOOKING AT OTHER MEASURES THAT MIGHT COMPLEMENT THE
ASSISTANCE PACKAGE. THE PRESIDENT'S STRATEGY BUILDS UPON
OUR ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS ALREADY UNDER WAY IN THE ANDES.
-- THE LOGIC BEHIND DELAYING THE INCREASED ECONOMIC
ASSISTANCE TO BOLIVIA AND PERU UNTIL OUR FISCAL YEAR 1991
(WHICH BEGINS OCTOBER by 19903 IS THAT IT WOULD HELP MAKE
UP THE ECONOMIC GAP CAUSED BY INTERDICTION ACTIVITIES
BEGUN IN 1990.
-- COLOMBIA, WHICH HAS MOVED AGGRESSIVELY AGAINST THE
CARTELS, IS ALREADY RECEIVING OUR ASSISTANCE TO HELP ITS
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
6
POLICE AND MILITARY FORCES. WE WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE A
MIX OF ASSISTANCE TO PERU AND BOLIVIA, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT
THE SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES IN EACH COUNTRY.
8. INCREASED U.S. ASSISTANCE FOR PERU
-- PRESIDENT BUSH HAS PROPOSED TO CONGRESS THE FOLLOWING
ASSISTANCE FON PERU:
(1) USD 36.9 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL ANNUAL MILITARY AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE BEGINNING IN 1990 (FOR A TOTAL IN
FY-90 OF USD 68.8 MILLION}. WE PLAN TO CONTINUE
REQUESTING THIS LEVEL OF ASSISTANCE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS
THROUGH 1994.
(2) DEPENDING ON THE SUCCESS OF YOUR COUNTERNARCOTICS
OPERATIONS, THE PRESIDENT PLANS TO REQUEST CONGRESS TO
INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY OUR ECONOMIC SUPPORT ASSISTANCE
FROM THE CURRENT (FY-90} USD 5 MILLION. US LAW
ENFORCEMENT, ECONOMIC, AND MILITARY ASSISTANCE COULD TOTAL
OVER USD 100 MILLION IN FY-90, OVER USD 130 MILLION IN
FY-91, AND OVER USD 170 MILLION IN FY-92.)
9. OTHER TYPES OF ASSISTANCE
-- THE ADMINISTRATION ALSO IS WORKING ON A PACKAGE OF
INDIRECT TRADE AND FINANCIAL MEASURES WHICH WOULD BENEFIT
THE ANDEAN COUNTRIES. ON NOVEMBER 1. WE ANNOUNCED AN
IMPORTANT TRADE PACKAGE FOR COLONBIA, BOLIVIA, PERUVY
ECUADOR, AND VENEZUELA. THIS INCLUDES A SPECIAL AGRESS
PROGRAM FOR CERTAIN TEXTILES, AGGRESSIVE PURSUIT OF A NEW
COFFEE AGREEMENT, AND CREATION OF A US-ANDEAN TRADE AND
INVESTMENT COUNCIL.
-- WE ARE ALSO TAKING A LOOK AT WHAT TRADE AND ECONOMIC
INCENTIVES TO HELP FILL THE GAP THAT SUCCESSFUL.
ECONOMY. INTERDICTION OF THE TRAFFICKING NETWORKS WILL COST YOUR
-- US AID ALONE WILL NOT COVER ALL OF THE NEEDS OF
COLOMBIA, PERU, AND BOLIVIA. WE HOPE TO USE THE SUMMIT TO
DEVELOP A JOINT STRATEGY FOR SEEKING ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE
FROM EUROPE, JAPAN, AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS.
10. WHAT PERU MUST DO
-- OUR PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED IN PART TO HELP COMPENSATE
YOUR COUNTRY FOR LOSS OF INCOME FROM ILLEGAL COCA AND
CONFIDENTIAL
CONF IDENTIAL
7
COCAINE PRODUCTION. IT IS STRICTLY CONTINGENT ON YOUR
DOING YOUR PART TO SUPPRESS COCAINE TRAFFICKING.
-- IT IS IN YOUR OWN SELF-INTEREST TO DO THIS. THE
COCAINE TRADE PROVIDES SOME MARGINAL SHORT-TERM BENEFITS
TO IMPOVERISHED FARMERS, BUT THESE SHORT-TERM BENEFITS
COST DEARLY. THE PRICE IS CORRUPTION OF DEMOCRATIC
INSTITUTIONS, THE EROSION OF NATIONAL AUTHORITY, RISING
VIOLENCE, DISTORTION OF THE ECONOMY, AND DISCOURAGEMENT OF
FOREIGN INVESTMENT.
--
WE HAVE A UNIQUE CHANCE AT THE SUMMIT TO
FUNDAMENTALLY RESTRUCTURE OUR RELATIONSHIP. WE UNDERSTAND
THAT YOUR GOVERNMENT'S HIGHEST PRIORITY IS DEFEATING
SENDERO LUMINOSO, NOT NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING. BUT THERE IS
SIGNIFICANT OVERLAP, ESPECIALLY IN THE UPPER HUALLAGA
VALLEY. IN COCA PRODUCING AREAS WHERE SENDERO LUMINOSO IS
ACTIVE, WE CAN PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO BOTH THE POLICE AND
THE MILITARY.
-- PRESIDENT BUSH WANTS TO INCREASE OUR ASSISTANCE
PROGRAMS TO HELP YOU MEET YOUR BASIC ECONOMIC NEEDS.
HOWEVER, PERU IS NOT UNIQUE IN ITS STRUGGLE TO OVERCOME
POVERTY. THE UNITED STATES CANNOT JUSTIFY GIVING THE
HIGHEST PRIORITY TO YOUR NEEDS AGAINST THOSE OF OTHER
NATIONS UNLESS PERU IS SERIOUSLY COMMITTED TO THE STRUGGLE
AGAINST THE INTERNATIONAL COCAINE TRADE.
-- WE APPRECIATED THE RECENT FRANK AND FORTHRIGHT
DISCUSSIONS YOU HAD WITH DEPUTY ASSISTANT SECRETARY SKOL
DURING HIS RECENT VISIT TO LIMA. IT WAS A' VALUABLE
OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAR THE AIR AND EXCHANGE VIEWS ON ISSUES
THAT AFFECT BOTH OUR COUNTRIES, ESPECIALLY NARCOTICS.
-- AS WE DISCUSSED AT THAT TIME, MILITARY COOPERATION
WITH NARCOTICS TRAFFICKERS, TOGETHER WITH WIDELY REPORTED
HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, THREATEN TO STOP OUR AID PROGRAMS
JUST AS THEY ARE BEGINNING. AS YOU KNOW, BOTH ISSUES ARE
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO us AND THE REPORTS WE CONTINUE TO
HEAR FROM PERU ARE VERY DISTURBING.
-- WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT REPORTS THAT THE
TRAFFICKERS HAVE ACCESS TO MUNICIPAL AIRFIELDS PROTECTED
BY THE MILITARY. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE NUMBER OF FLIGHTS
CARRYING COCAINE BASE FROM THE AIRFIELDS HAVE BEEN
INCREASING. WE WERE GIVEN TO UNDERSTAND IN YOUR MEETING
WITH DAS SKOL THAT YOU WOULD MAKE EVERY POSSIBLE EFFORT TO
STOP THOSE FLIGHTS.
CONF IDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
8
-- AS A DEMONSTRATION OF THE IMPORTANCE PERU AND ITS
MILITARY HAVE IN OUR DRUG STRATEGY, WE HAVE MADE A
DELIVERY OF FOOD TO THE TROOPS IN THE UPPER HUALLAGA
VALLEY. BUT WE CANNOT SUPPORT THE MILITARY IF THE
MILITARY IS AIDING TRAFFICKERS.
:
WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE CANNOT DEFEAT THE TRAFFICKERS
UNLESS THE ARMY CAN RESTORE SECURITY IN COCA GROWING
AREAS. THAT IS WHY WE ARE WILLING TO PROVIDE RATIONS FOR
YOUR TROOPS AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE.
:
BUT IF YOU WANT U.S. ASSISTANCE, IT CANNOT BE DONE
AT THE COST OF COMMITTING HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES OR
TOLERATING COCAINE TRAFFICKING.
-- THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL SUMMIT AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY,
TO SUCCESSFULLY SHUTTING DOWN THE COCAINE TRADE IS
COOPERATION. EACH OF OUR NATIONS -- INCLUDING THE us --
WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF VIRGILIO BARCO AND
DEMONSTRATE THE POLITICAL WILL TO UNDERTAKE THE NECESSARY
POLICIES UNDER TRYING CIRCUMSTANCES.

TALKING POINTS:
9. us STRATEGY AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SUMMIT
-- AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED BEFORE, THERE ARE NO EASY
SOLUTIONS TO THE COMPLEX PROBLEM OF COCAINE PRODUCTION AND
TRAFFICKING. ALL OF OUR COUNTRIES HAVE COMPETING
IDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
5
PRIORITIES CRYING FOR ATTENTION AND RESOURCES. BUT WE DO
NOT HAVE THE LUXURY OF IGNORING THE COCAINE PROBLEM. WE
MUST WORK IN THE us TO REDUCE DEMAND AND TO INTERDICT
COCAINE ON OUR OWN- SHORES. BOLIVIA AND PERU NEED TO MOVE
MORE AGGRESSIVELY AGAINST THE NETWORKS IN THEIR
COUNTRIES. WE MUST DO THIS FOR OUR SAKES AND WE MUST DO
THIS IN ORDER TO EASE THE PRESSURE ON PRESIDENT BARCOI IN
COLOMBIA, WHO IS COURAGEOUSLY WITHSTANDING THE BRUNT OF
THE FURY OF THE CARTELS.
-- THE FIRST PRIORITY OF PRESIDENT BUSH'S INTERNATIONAL
STRATEGY IS TO STRENGTHEN OUR COUNTERNARCOTICS PROGRAMS IN
THE ANDES. A SUCCESSFUL EFFORT AGAINST COCAINE
TRAFFICKING AND COCA CULTIVATION IN THE ANDES WILL REQUIRE
UNPRECEDENTED COOPERATION AMONG OUR FOUR COUNTRIES.
-- FOLLOWING THE SUGGESTION OF PRESIDENT BARCO, ME ARE ALL
IN AGREEMENT THAT THE SUMMIT SHOULD BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 15
IN CARTAGENA.
-- WE NEED TO. WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT THE ANDEAN
SUMMIT MEETING MARKS THE SUCCESSFUL CONFIRMATION 07 AN
TRAFFICKING. INTENSIFIED AND COORDINATED CAMPAIGN TO CONTROL COCAINE
-- THE SUMMIT WILL NEED TO BE CAREFULLY PREPARED. AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE, WE NEED TO ESTABLISH WORKING GROUPS TO
NEGOTIATE THE COMMUNIQUE AND ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS THAT
MIGHT BE SIGNED AT THE SUMMIT.
-- WE ARE THINKING OF THE COMMUNIQUE IN TERMS OF A
COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGIC AGREEMENT OUTLINING OUR JOINT
STRATEGY FOR FIGHTING THE COCAINE TRADE AND FOR HELPING
DEVELOP LEGTIMATE ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES. IT MIGHT ALSO
INCLUDE FUTURE PLANS TO WORK JOINTLY ON SUCH ISSUES AS THE
CONTROL OF PRECURSOR CHEMICALS, SHARING OF SEIZED ASSETS,
MONEY LAUNDERING, AND JUDICIAL PROTECTION AND REFORM.
-- BUILDING ON THE NOV. 16 MEETING OF THE THREE FOREIGN
MINISTERS WITH ASSISTANT SECRETARIES AND THE EXPERT
MEETING IN WASHINGTON, A/S ARONSON WOULD LIKE TO MEET WITH
YOU DURING THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 10.
-- THE PRESIDENT'S STRATEGY CALLS FOR OVER USD 2.0 BILLION
IN INCREASED ECONOMIC, SECURITY, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND
INTELLIGENCE ASSISTANCE TO BOLIVIA, PERU. AND COLOMBIA
OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. IN ADDITION THE PRESIDENT HAS
CONT IDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL

ALREADY ANNOUNCED A PACKAGE OF TRADE INITIATIVES AND
ARE CONSIDERING AT OTHER MEASURES THAT MIGHT COMPLEMENT E
THE ASSISTANCE PACKAGE. THE PRESIDENT'S STRATEGY BUILDS
UPON OUR ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS ALREADY UNDERWAY IN THE
ANDES. IN BOLIVIA, FOR EXAMPLE, WE ALREADY HAVE OUR
LARGEST ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IN SOUTH AMERICAL
-- THE LOGIC BEHIND INITIATING THE INCREASED ECONOMIC
ASSISTANCE TO BOLIVIA AND PERU DURING OUR FISCAL YEAR 1991
{WHICH BEGINS OCTOBER 1. 19903 IS THAT IT WOULD HELP MAKE
UP THE ECONOMIC GAP CAUSED BY INTERDICTION ACTIVITIES
BEGUN IN 1990.
-- COLOMBIA, WHICH HAS MOVED AGGRESSIVELY AGAINST THE
CARTELS, IS ALREADY RECEIVING OUR ASSISTANCE TO HELP ITS
POLICE AND MILITARY FORCES. WE WOULD LIKE TO/PROVIDE A
MIX OF ASSISTANCE TO PERU AND BOLIVIA, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT
THE SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES IN EACH COUNTRY."
10. INCREASED us ASSISTANCE FOR BOLIVIA
-- PRESIDENT BUSH HAS PROPOSED TO CONGRESS THE FOLLOWING
ASSISTANCE FOR BOLIVIA:
(1) USD 42.5 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL ANNUAL MILITARY AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE BEGINNING IN 1990 (FOR A TOTAL
REQUEST IN FY-90 OF USD 63.2 MILLION). WE PLAN TO
CONTINUE REQUESTING THIS LEVEL OF ASSISTANCE ON AN ANNUAL
BASIS THROUGH 1994.
(2) DEPENDING ON THE SUCCESS OF YOUR COUNTERNARCOTICS
OPERATION, THE PRESIDENT PLANS TO REQUEST CONGRESS TO
INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY OUR ECONOMIC SUPPORT ASSISTANCE
FROM THE CURRENT (FY-90} USD 30 MILLION. TOTAL us
ASSISTANCE -- LAW ENFORCEMENT, ECONOMIC, AND MILITARY --
COULD TOTAL OVER USD 150 MILLION IN FY-90, OVER USD 250
MILLION IN FY-91, AND USD 300 MILLION IN FY-92.)
11. OTHER TYPES OF ASSISTANCE
-- THE ADMINISTRATION ALSO IS WORKING OUT A PACKAGE OF
TRADE AND FINANCIAL MEASURES WHICH WOULD BENEFIT THE
ANDEAN COUNTRIES. ON NOVEMBER 1. WE ANNOUNCED AN
IMPORTANT TRADE PACKAGE FOR COLOMBIA, BOLIVIA, PERU,
ECUADOR, AND VENEZUELA. THIS INCLUDES A SPECIAL ACCESS
PROGRAM FOR CERTAIN TEXTILES, AGGRESSIVE PURSUIT OF A NEW
COFFEE AGREEMENT, AND CREATION OF A US-ANDEAN TRADE AND
INVESTMENT COUNCIL.

-- WE ARE ALSO TAKING A LOOK AT OTHER TRADE AND ECONOMIC
INCENTIVES TO HELP FILL THE GAP THAT SUCCESSFUL
ECONOMY. INTERDICTON OF THE TRAFFICKING NETWORKS WILL COST YOUR
-- US AID ALONE WILL NOT COVER ALL OF THE NEEDS OF
COLOMBIA, PERU, AND BOLIVIA. WE HOPE TO USE THE SUMMIT TO
FROM EUROPE, JAPAN, AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS.
DEVELOP A JOINT STRATEGY FOR SEEKING ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE
12. WHAT BOLIVIA MUST DO
-- OUR PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO HELP COMPENSATE YOUR
COUNTRY FOR LOSS OF INCOME FROM ILLEGAL COCA AND COCAINE
PRODUCTION. IT IS STRICTLY CONTINGENT ON YOUR DOING YOUR
PART TO DISRUPT COCAINE TRAFFICKING.
-- IT IS IN YOUR OWN SELF-INTEREST TO DO THIS. THE
FARMERS, BUT THESE SHORT-TERM BENEFITS COST DEARLY. THE
COCAINE TRADE PROVIDES SHORT-TERM BENEFITS TO IMPOVERISHED
PRICE IS CORRUPTION OF DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS, THE
EROSION OF NATIONAL AUTHORITY, RISING VIOLENCE, DISTORTION
OF THE ECONOMY, AND DISCOURAGEMENT OF FOREIGN INVESTMENT.
-- BOLIVIA NEEDS A BALANCED PROGRAM WHICH INCLUDES
ENFORCEMENT OF BOLIVIA'S LAWS AGAINST PRODUCTION AND
TRAFFICKING, IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ERADICATION PROGRAM AND
A BALANCED PROGRAM OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. ALTERNATIVE
DEVELOPMENT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROGRAM, BUT WE
ACCOMPLISHED, COCA CULTIVATION AND COCAINE EXPORT WILL
CANNOT ASSUME THAT IF ENOUGH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CAN BE
DISAPPEAR AS A NATURAL CONSEQUENCE. THERE MUST ALSO BE
VIGOROUS ENFORCEMENT OF BOLIVIA'S OWN LAWS WHICH PROHIBIT
PROGRAM TO REDUCE COCA CULTIVATION.
PRODUCTION AND TRAFFICKING IN COCAINE AND A SYSTEMATIC
AND ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT, BOLIVIA IS UNLIKELY TO
-- WITHOUT A BALANCED PROGRAM OF INTERDICTION, ERADICATION
RECEIVE SUSTAINED SUPPORT FOR ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT FROM
OTHER DONOR COUNTRIES.
-- PRESIDENT BUSH WANTS TO INCREASE OUR ASSISTANCE
PROGRAMS TO HELP YOU MEET YOUR BASIC ECONOMIC NEEDS.
HOWEVER, BOLIVIA IS NOT UNIQUE IN ITS STRUGGLE TO OVERCOME
POVERTY. WE DO NOT WANT TO "NARCO-IZE" OUR RELATIONS.

THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE SUMMIT IS TO CONFIRM AND
EXPEDITE AN INTENSIFIED AND COORDINATED CAMPAIGN TO
CONTROL INTERNATIONAL COCAINE TRAFFICKING. OUR 08JECTIVE
IS TO SECURE A STRONG PUBLIC COMMITMENT OF PRESIDENTS OF
BOLIVIA, PERU, AND COLOMBIA TO MOVE AGGRESSIVELY AGAINST
ALL ASPECTS of THE COCAINE CHAIN FROM PRODUCTION TO
CONSUMPTION. THE FOUR HEADS OF GOVERNMENT WILL PUBLICLY
REAFFIRM THEIR COMMITMENT IN THIS BATTLE. THE SUMMIT
PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO GALVANIZE PUBLIC OPINION IN
EACH COUNTRY AND TO BUILD MOMENTUM FOR ACCOMPLISHING THE
PURPOSES TO WHICH THE PRESIDENTS PLEDGE THEMSELVES. WE
ANTICIPATE THAT THE COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE CONCLUSION OF
THE SUMMIT WILL:
:
COMMIT THE ANDEAN PRESIDENTS, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF
THE us, TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AN INTENSIFIED
ANTI-NARCOTICS STRATEGYS

DISLOCATIONS THAT MAY OCCUR FROM THE INITIATION OF
THIS STRATEGY:

WITHIN SIX MONTHS. (A MEETING COULD TAKE PLACE
FOLLOWING THE 6-7 MEETING IN THE us IN JUNE WITH THE
ANDEAM PRESIDENTS OR FOREIGN MINISTERS COMING TO THE
us TO MEET WITH 6-7 COUNTERPARTS): AND
:
ANTICIPATE THE EXPEDITED NEGOTIATION AND CONCLUSION
OF AGREEMENTS DEEMED NECESSARY BY THE SUMMIT WORKING
GROUPS IN SUCH AREAS AS CONTROLLING PRECURSOR
CHEMICALS, SHARING OF SEIZED ASSETS, CONTROLS ON
MONEY LAUNDERING, SHARING OF INTELLIGENCE,
ASSISTANCE IN JUDICIAL PROTECTION, ETC.

TALKING POINTS:
9. US STRATEGY AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SUMMIT
-- THERE ARE NO EASY SOLUTIONS TO THE COMPLEX PROBLEM OF
COCAINE TRAFFICKING. ALL OF OUR COUNTRIES HAVE COMPETING
PRIORITIES CRYING FOR ATTENTION AND RESOURCES. YOUR
EFFORTS AGAINST THE TRAFFICKING NETWORKS ARE IMPRESSIVE
AND HAVE you WORLDWIDE ACCLAIM. YOU ARE FINDING AND

THREE ANDEAN PRESIDENTS. WE HOPE COLOMBIA CAN TAKE THE
LEAD IN SHAPING THE VIEWS OF THE ANDEAN COUNTRIES.
10. INCREASED US ASSISTANCE FOR COLOMBIA
-- PRESIDENT BUSH CONTEMPLATES PROPOSING TO CONGRESS THE
FOLLOWING ASSISTANCE FOR COLOMBIA:
(1) IN ADDITION TO THE USD 65 MILLION IN EMERGENCY AID
PROVIDED UNDER SECTION 506{A} OF THE FOREIGN ASSISTANCE
ACT, THE PRESIDENT ALSO PLANS TO ASK CONGRESS FOR USD 54.7
MILLION IN ADDITIONAL MILITARY, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND
INTELLIGENCE ASSISTANCE BEGINNING IN 1990 FOR A TOTAL OF
USD 90.4 MILLION. WE PROJECT TO CONTINUE REQUESTING THIS
LEVEL OF ASSISTANCE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS THROUGH 1994.
11. OTHER TYPES OF ASSISTANCE
-- THE ADMINISTRATION ALSO IS WORKING OUT A PACKAGE OF
TRADE AND FINANCIAL MEASURES WHICH WOULD BENEFIT THE
ANDEAN COUNTRIES. ON NOVEMBER 1, WE ANNOUNCED AN
IMPORTANT TRADE PACKAGE FOR COLOMBIA, BOLIVIA, PERU.
ECUADOR, AND VENEZUELA. THIS INCLUDES A SPECIAL ACCESS
PROGRAM FOR CERTAIN TEXTILES AND CREATION OF A US-ANDEAN
TRADE AND INVESTMENT COUNCIL.
-- WE ALSO REMAIN COMMITTED TO AGGRESIVELY PURSUING AN
INTERNATIONAL COFFEE AGREEMENT THAT IS FAIR AND RESPONSIVE
TO MARKET TRENDS.
-- WE HAVE READ WITH GREAT INTEREST YOUR GOVERNMENT'S
"SPECIAL COOPERATION PROGRAM." WE BELIEVE IT IS A
WORTHWHILL EFFORT WHICH MERITS OUR SUPPORT. A NUMBER OF
ITS OBJECTIVES AND AREAS OF CONCENTRATION ARE SIMILAR TO
OURS. WI ARE EXAMINING WAYS IN WHICH WE MIGHT FURTHER
SUPPORT ii.
-- WE ARI WILLING TO SHARE SEIZED ASSETS WITH THE THREE
ANDEAN COUNTRIES. WE HAVE NEW LEGAL AUTHORITY TO SHARE
WITH COOPERATING GOVERNMENTS ASSETS SEIZED IN CRIMINAL
CASES IN THE U.S.: WE NEED TO REACH A BILATERAL AGREEMENT
TO IMPLEMENT THIS. IT WOULD BE GOOD IF THIS COULD BE DONE
IN TIME FOR SIGNATURE AT THE SUMMIT.
CONE IDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
7
-- WE WISH TO WORK CLOSELY WITH YOU TO FACILITATE YOUR
ABSORPTION OF THE EMERGENCY 506{A} AID THAT HAS ARRIVED
AND PLAN FUTURE ASSISTANCE TO FILL IN THE GAPS LEFT BY THE
FIRST AID PACKAGE. WE NEED YOUR FRANK ASSESSMENTS OF
LOGISTICAL AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS TO MAKE THE
MOST EFFECTIVE USE OF THE ASSISTANCE PROVIDED.
-- us AID ALONE WILL NOT COVER ALL OF THE NEEDS OF
COLOMBIA, PERU, AND BOLIVIA. WE HOPE TO USE THE SUMMIT TO
DEVELOP A JOINT STRATEGY FOR SEEKING ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE
FROM EUROPE, JAPAN, AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS.
12. GAINING THE SUPPORT OF PERU AND BOLIVIA
-- WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER IF THE ANDEAN SUMMIT MEETING
IS TO MARK THE SUCCESSFUL INITIATION OF AN INTENSIFIED AND
COORDINATED CAMPAIGN TO CONTROL COCAINE TRAFFICKING.
-- IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT OUR TWO COUNTRIES, ALONG WITH
PERU AND BOLIVIA, PRESENT A COMMON FRONT AGAINST THE
NARCOTICS TRAFFICKERS.
-- EACH OF OUR NATIONS WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW YOUR EXAMPLE
AND DEMONSTRATE THE POLITICAL WILL TO UNDERTAKE THE
NECESSARY POLICIES UNDER TRYING CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS IS A
BATTLE THAT MUST DE WON. THE PRICE OF APATHY AND DELAY IS
CORRUPTION OF DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS, THE EROSION OF
NATIONAL AUTHORITY, RISING VIOLENCE, DISTORTION of THE
ECONOMY, AND DISCOURAGEMENT OF FOREIGN INVESTMENT.
-- WE NEED ADVICE AND SUPPORT FROM YOU AND FROM PRESIDENT
PAZ ZAMORA AND PRESIDENT GARCIA IF THE ANDEAN SUMMIT
MEETING IS TO MARK THE SUCCESSFUL INITIATION OF AN
INTENSIFIED AND COORDINATED CAMPAIGN TO CONTROL
INTERNATIONAL COCAINE TRAFFICKING.
-- HOWEVER, PERU AND BOLIVIA ARE LAGGING BEHIND.
STATEMENTS BY PRESIDENTS GARCIA AND PAZ ZAMORA CRITICIZING
THE U.S. MARCOTICS STRATEGY HAVE BEEN UNHELPFUL. WE
UNDERSTAND THAT FOREIGN MINISTER LONDONO, IN HIS RECENT
VISIT TO HOLIVIA, WAS DISMAYED BY BOLIVIA'S LACK OF
COMMITMENT ON THE NARCOTICS ISSUE. WE SHARE THAT DISMAY.
-- OUR VINIL IS THAT ALAN GARCIA WANTS TO 60 AFTER THE
TRAFFICKERS ONLY AFTER THE SENDERO LUMINOSO THREAT HAS
BEEN BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL. PAZ ZAMORA SEEMS TO HOPE THAT
UNNECESSARY. ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT WILL MAKE INTERDICTION
CONFIDENTIAL
COMMIDENTIAL
8
-- WE RECOGNIZE THAT PERU AND BOLIVIA ARE DISAPPOINTED
THAT US ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE IS NOT HIGHER OR BEGINNING
SOONER. BUT THEY OVERLOOK THE FACT, ON THE OTHER HAND,
THAT OUR ASSISTANCE IS ALREADY SIGNIFICANT IN BOLIVIA, AND
THERE IS THE PROSPECT OF SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN FY 1991,
ASSUMING THE BOLIVIANS AND PERUVIANS GET MOVING ON AN
INTEGRATED COUNTER-NARCOTICS PROGRAM.
-- WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE PRESIDENT PAL UNDERSTAND
THAT ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT ALONE SIMPLY WILL NOT END
COCA PRODUCTION -- A STRONG ERADICATION AND INTENDICTION
PROGRAM IX ALSO REQUIRED -- AND THAT HE IS BADLY MISTAKEN
IF HE THINKS THE EUROPEANS WILL STEP IN AND REPLACE US
ASSISTANCE WITH SUBSTANTIAL ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT
FUNDING WITHOUT COMPLEMENTARY ERADICATION AND INTERDICTION
BY THE GOVERNMENT OF HOLIVIA. THAT SIMPLY WILL NOT HAPPEN.
-- WE HOPE YOU WILL USE YOUR INFLUENCE WITH PRESIDENTS
GARCIA AND PAZ ZAMORA TO CONVINCE THEM TO WORK TOWARD THE
SUMMIT IN A CONSTRUCTIVE WAY. YOU SHOULD IMPRESS UPON
THEM THAT THE REASON PRESIDENT BUSH DECIDED TO FOCUS OUR
EFFORT IN COLOMBIA THIS YEAR AND ONLY BEGIN ECONOMIC
ASSISTANCE TO PERU AND BOLIVIA IN FY-96 IS BECAUSE HE WAS
CONVINCED OF YOUR DETERMINATION TO MOVE AGGRESSIVELY
AGAINST THE TRAFFICKERS. THE PRESIDENT HAS DOUBTS ABOUT
THE POLITICAL WILL of PERU AND BOLIVIA.
-- WE ASK YOUR HELP IN IMPRESSING UPON THEM THE NECESSITY
OF THEIR MAXING DIFFICULT POLITICAL DECISIONS. SUCH AS
MAKING GENUINE EFFORTS IN ERADICATION AND IN PURGING THE
SECURITY FORCES or CORRUPT ELEMENTS. UNTIL THESE ACTIONS
ARE TAKEN, WE CANNOT HOPE TO PRESENT A UNIFIED FRONT
AGAINST THE TRAFFICKERS.
-- If WL ARE TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL SUMMIT, WE NEED YOU TO
USE YOUR INFLUENCE TO CONVINCE GARCIA AND PAL THAT THEY
MUST MAKE A FULL COMMITMENT TO INTERDICTION. WE ARE
PREPARED 10 HELP PERU IN ITS BATTLE AGAINST SENDERO, AND
WE WANT TO HELP THE BOLIVIAN ECONOMY GROU. BUT THEIR
EFFORTS MUST BC MADE SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH SERIOUS EFFORTS
TO DESTROY THE TRAFFICKING NETWORKS. INTERDICTION WHERE
COLOMBIA. THE COCA LEAF IS GROWN WILL EASE THE NARCO-THREAT TO

INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVES
Last September the National Drug Control Strategy
established an international strategy designed to disrupt and
dismantle the multinational criminal organizations that support
the production, processing, transportation, and distribution of
drugs to the United States and to other nations. The chief
emphasis of that strategy is to attack the international drug
trade by focusing on efforts aimed at the points of greatest
value to the drug trafficking organizations and networks.
It is clear that the United States cannot assume the burden
of combatting drugs by itself. A cornerstone of our
international counternarcotics strategy, therefore, is to work
with and motivate other countries -- those that are involved in
production, transit or consumption, as well as those that have
little or no drug problem as yet -- to engage their own resources
and efforts to defeat the drug trade. Only through a broad,
cooperative international effort can we achieve the objectives of
reducing the foreign supply of drugs while working with other
countries to dismantle their own illicit drug operations, reduce
the demand for drugs, and combat the worldwide drug trade.
Drug Source Areas
Coca Producing and Distributing Areas. A major component of
our international efforts is a strategy aimed at supporting the
principal cocaine source countries -- Colombia, Peru and Bolivia
2
-- in their efforts to control and defeat the drug trade. U.S.
strategy is to work with the host governments to disrupt and
destroy the growing, processing and transportation of coca and
coca products within these source countries, with the long-term
goal of effecting a major reduction in the supply of cocaine from
these countries to the United States, while also working to
reduce the demand for drugs by users in the United States.
U.S. strategy seeks to attain three near-term goals. The
first of these is to strengthen the political will and
institutional capability of Colombia, Peru and Bolivia, to enable
them to take the needed steps to disrupt the activities of, and
ultimately dismantle, the cocaine trafficking organizations.
This involves supporting the commitment of the three host
governments' political leadership against narcotics trafficking,
by providing enhanced security training and equipment, and
military assistance. The strategy also incorporates expanded
economic assistance, beginning in FY 1991 and conditioned on the
drug control performance and the existence of sound economic
policies of the host countries, to offset some of the economic
dislocations associated with successful drug suppression efforts.
It also includes assisting these countries to strengthen their
ability to prosecute, extradite, and punish narcotics
traffickers, illicit arms traffickers and drug money launderers,
through the application of resources needed to reorganize and
strengthen the laws and legal institutions now in place.
Finally, it involves supporting the resolve of judges and other
3
individuals within the legal system to prosecute and sentence
traffickers.
The second short-term goal is to increase the effectiveness
of law enforcement and military activities of the three countries
against the cocaine trade. This involves assisting them in
isolating key coca growing areas through measures aimed at
controlling road, river and air access, and controlling their
national airspace by providing real-time air targeting data
through appropriate channels while helping them to develop a
rapid response capability against air trafficking threats.
Attacking the cocaine trade involves blocking shipments of key
precursor chemicals, by controlling their importation and
distribution to, and interdicting the movement of chemicals
already within, the region; destroying existing laboratories and
processing centers; and controlling the importation and
distribution of illicit munitions. And it means carrying out
eradication programs on a case-by-case basis, with a view to
their effect on total country production and their costs and
benefits when compared to other counternarcotics programs in the
same country or areas. The likely political consequences of
proposed eradication programs will be carefully weighed before
such operations are pursued. As drug suppression efforts
succeed, our strategy calls for U.S. economic assistance to help
provide legal, self-sustaining, income-earning alternatives to
growers and workers. Such assistance will be applied in coca
producing areas and in contiguous regions which have been the
4
source of permanent and seasonal migration to the coca-producing
zones.
The third near-term goal is to inflict significant damage to
the trafficking organizations which operate within the three
countries, by working with the countries concerned to disrupt or
dismantle trafficking operations and elements of greatest value.
This involves focusing on trafficking leaders and their key
lieutenants, to incapacitate them through arrests, prosecution
and incarceration; impeding the transfer of drug-generated funds;
and seizing the assets of traffickers within the United States
and in other countries where they operate.
U.S. information and public awareness programs will explain
and support the attainment of the three principal goals outlined
above.
Recent events, including the interdiction of air trafficking
by Colombia; the extradition of important traffickers and money
launderers by Colombia, Bolivia and Uruguay; the effective
Colombian operation against Rodriguez Gacha; and, most
importantly, the steadfastness of Colombia's Barco Administration
against the trafficking organizations, underscore the efficacy of
cocaine source country strategy.
As pressure is brought to bear on the cartels that operate
within the three principal coca-producing countries, drug
production, processing, and trafficking are likely to continue
expanding to other countries in the region, including Ecuador,
Venezuela, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil. The air,
5
water and land interdiction, and law enforcement programs of
these six countries may need to be strengthened on an urgent
basis, before the trafficking organizations become entrenched.
The Department of State, in cooperation with the Office of
National Drug Control Policy, will coordinate a review involving
all concerned Federal agencies, focusing on those South American
countries most vulnerable to the drug trade. The interagency
review will place emphasis on determining how assistance
requested in the President's FY 1991 budget can best be utilized
to provide to these countries law enforcement support, U.S.
military training and materiel assistance, and intelligence to
support both law enforcement programs and military counterdrug
activities. It will also study the effectiveness of these forms
of assistance, and what may be needed in later years. The review
will also focus on the strengthening of current mutual legal
assistance procedures, the development of assistance programs
keyed to judicial institution-building to strengthen the
likelihood that drug traffickers will be prosecuted and
incarcerated in these countries, and the extradition of narcotics
and arms traffickers under U.S. indictment.
Heroin Producing and Distributing Areas. While heroin
currently ranks second to cocaine as the greatest foreign drug
threat to the United States, it is the primary drug of use in
Europe and Asia. Although there is no firm estimate of heroin
availability or use in the United States, the drug is known to
6
have found new markets through combination with other drugs,
particularly smokable varieties of heroin. The high volume of
opium production, as well as heroin's great profitability and
addictive properties, add urgency to cooperative efforts to
suppress the international trade in heroin.
Yet heroin may prove even more difficult to control than
cocaine, because much of the world's opium and heroin is produced
in countries such as Afghanistan, Burma (Myanmar), Laos and Iran,
where U.S. government and Western influence is greatly limited,
and political unrest makes it difficult for these countries to
exercise control over production areas. Moreover, opium and
heroin production, distribution and consumption patterns show an
alarming persistence and resistance to control, as evidenced by
the fact that poppy cultivation has moved across the Mexican
border into Guatemala, while Pakistan, Iran and Thailand have
become net importers of the drug to satisfy their burgeoning
addict populations.
The Administration has accordingly undertaken a government-
wide study of the threat which will form the basis for our future
strategies. All major aspects of heroin suppression will be
examined.
Following the pattern of our overall international strategy,
our goals include strengthening the political will and
institutional capability of cooperating opium- and heroin-
producing countries to combat their drug trade; increasing the
effectiveness of host country law enforcement and
7
military organizations to detect, monitor, and apprehend
traffickers and seize major shipments; and inflicting significant
damage on the trafficking organizations that operate within the
source countries and distribution areas. To these ends,
particular attention will be given to how to best utilize funding
included in the President's FY 1991 budget, and possible
needs in later years to improve intelligence collection and
analysis of source country production, trafficking mechanisms and
routes, transportation elements, money laundering topology used
to bring heroin from producing and/or processing countries to the
United States; and of the international drug syndicates and
their key personnel; assistance to producer and transit countries
to improve their laws and strengthen their legal institutions;
and military and law enforcement assistance, including security
assistance, to help source and transit countries improve their
interdiction capabilities against drug transporters and their
means of shipment. We will continue to provide assistance for
effective crop control measures, depending on the extent to which
they support the principal goals outlined above and with the
objective of effecting a net reduction in opium production in the
country or area where they are applied. International
information initiatives will support the development of these
programs with host countries.
The increasingly global nature of the heroin threat will
require greater participation both by other developed countries
and by the producer and trafficker countries. We expect to work
8
closely with members of the European Community, Canada, Japan and
Australia, as well as the Soviet Union, to develop effective
approaches to opium-producing countries where the United States
has limited access, and to share the burden of controlling the
growth and production of opium and heroin. Increased emphasis
will be given to strengthening joint measures, financial control
mechanisms, and conspiracy laws to target money launderers, and
to detect, seize and confiscate traffickers' assets. Attention
will be given to the role of the United Nations and regional
organizations in international heroin suppression. In addition,
emphasis will be given to the ratification by other countries of
the U.N. Convention, which calls for the criminalization of the
production, cultivation, transportation and trafficking of
heroin, as well as other drugs, and calls for the criminalization
of money laundering, illegal arms and chemical precursor
trafficking. We will encourage regional organizations to assume
greater responsibility for playing an active role in this
process. Finally, since a key to successful narcotics control is
public awareness in producer, trafficking, and consumer
countries, we will improve U.S. international and regional
diplomacy and public awareness programs, focusing on all aspects
of the opium and heroin problem as it affects consumers and
producers alike.
Marijuana Production. Foreign marijuana control remains an
important element of our international strategy. U.S. domestic
marijuana control efforts support our foreign initiatives in this
9
area because of the health threat posed by marijuana use, because
international agreements obligate us to domestic control
programs, and because the vigorous pursuit of our own marijuana
reduction programs supports our efforts to convince other
countries to engage in strong marijuana control programs of their
own. As the Drug Enforcement Administration and other Federal
agencies intensify their efforts to eradicate domestically-
produced marijuana, therefore, we will continue to pursue
cannabis eradication programs with other producing countries. At
the same time, U.S. funding of foreign marijuana control programs
will be weighed against the use of the same funds for programs to
control other foreign drugs that have greater potential for
damage. In certain countries where narcotics control programs
are directed against the production and trafficking of coca or
opium and marijuana, resources and priority attention will be
given to efforts which can have the greatest impact in reducing
the supply of the most dangerous illegal drugs entering the
United States.
Transit Areas
Drug transit countries present an array of problems and
opportunities significantly different from countries that produce
illegal drugs. On the one hand, drug trafficking and use have
taken a serious toll within a number of these countries, which
are therefore willing to work closely with the United States and
other nations to the degree that their concerns about national
10
sovereignty and their own resources permit. On the other hand,
many transit countries have permissive drug laws and lax
financial regulation; underfunded law enforcement, investigatory,
prosecutory and judicial systems; and undeveloped law enforcement
intelligence capabilities. Several produce drugs, have their own
powerful domestic drug trafficking groups, and are used as
transshipment areas by multinational drug organizations. Transit
areas of special concern include Mexico, Central America and the
Caribbean.
Mexico. Mexico is a principal source for drugs entering the
United States, both as a producer of marijuana and opium, and as
a major transit country for cocaine. Mexico cultivates
sufficient cannabis to satisfy at least one-third of the U.S.
marijuana demand, accounts for about 30 percent of the heroin
supplied to the U.S. market, and is a transshipment area for at
least half of the cocaine that enters the United States. Since
the inauguration of the Salinas Administration in 1988, the
Mexican Government has embarked on a vigorous effort to diminish
the supply of drugs to and within Mexico, and their transit to
the United States. Several major Mexican figures connected to
Colombian trafficking organizations have been arrested and their
organizations have been disrupted. Mexico has also ratified the
1988 U.N. Convention and has negotiated numerous bilateral
antinarcotics agreements with other countries.
To reduce the flow of drugs from Mexico and to disrupt
Mexican, Colombian and other narcotics trafficking organizations,
11
the Administration will continue to develop cooperative actions
related to both drug supply reduction within and through Mexico,
and drug demand reduction within Mexico. In cooperation with the
Office of National Drug Control Policy and other concerned
departments, the Department of State will be responsible for
coordinating all U.S. plans and programs supporting U.S. -Mexican
anti-drug efforts. In the area of law enforcement, the United
States will pursue cooperative initiatives: to identify and
dismantle trafficking organizations; to improve tactical
information sharing with appropriate Mexican Government
authorities; and to help in the development of Mexico's
interdiction programs aimed at smuggler aircraft crossing Mexican
airspace or landing in Mexico. Eradication will be supported in
conjunction with interdiction efforts, where it is effective and
can contribute to a net reduction of Mexican drug crop
production. In addition, we will seek to strengthen Mexico's
ability to track illegal money and firearms flows and the
diversion of essential and precursor chemicals. We will propose
the establishment of procedures for increased cooperation on
investigations in these areas, and will examine with the Mexican
Government the possibility of integrating its financial
investigations, munitions control and essential and precursor
chemical diversion programs with related U.S. programs. We will
also enhance law enforcement investigative lead sharing building
on, among other foundations, the recently ratified U.S. -Mexican
Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty; assist Mexico in identifying
12
clandestine labs, landing strips, cache sites, and smuggling
routes; continue to provide specific logistic assistance to
Mexican law enforcement units on a case-by-case basis; continue
the development of effective mechanisms to ensure that drug
traffickers are either fully prosecuted or successfully
extradited; and initiate a seized asset sharing program between
the U.S. and Mexico. Public awareness and demand reduction
programs will be pursued through the media, expert visits, and
assistance with community and school education and drug abuse
programs. Funding for all FY 1991 anti-drug assistance to Mexico
is requested in the President's budget.
Central America. Central America has gained in importance
as a transit area for cocaine shipments to the United States.
One country, Guatemala, now produces a significant quantity of
opium. The Department of State, working with other Federal
agencies, will increase U.S. and joint U.S. -host country
intelligence efforts to identify and track drug traffickers by
air and land through Central America to Mexico, by expediting the
installation of the Joint Information Collection Center (JICC)
system.
The Caribbean. The broad objectives of U.S. drug control
strategy in the Caribbean are to deny safe havens to drug
traffickers, and to prevent drug production, storage and transit
operations, and drug-related activities such as money laundering.
Much has been done to deter traffickers' free use of Caribbean
airspace and waters through the application of U.S. interdiction
13
programs, but special attention will also be given to initiatives
focused on the Caribbean countries and their territorial waters
and airspace. With respect to these initiatives, the
Administration will seek ways to improve local intelligence and
law enforcement capabilities, strengthen Caribbean banking laws
and financial regulations, and increase national criminal asset
seizures. It will also seek to improve access to the territorial
waters and airspace of producer and transit countries. In the
area of law enforcement information sharing, the Administration
will work cooperatively to strengthen the current JICC system and
assist Caribbean countries to establish appropriate new JICCs
that can become the basis for a broad network of linked centers
for the exchange of drug law enforcement intelligence and
tactical data throughout the region. The Office of National Drug
Control Policy, through the Supply Reduction Working Group, will
develop and coordinate U.S. initiatives to enable Federal
agencies to disseminate tactical air data to countries identified
as primary originators or receivers of drug trafficking flights.
Supporting International Initiatives
Multinational Counternarcotics Force. The formation of a
Western Hemisphere multinational counternarcotics force has been
suggested as a means to broaden international drug control
efforts while overcoming national sovereignty concerns by
requiring that such a force be utilized only upon the invitation
of a host government. At the request of the United States and
14
other countries, the United Nations has included the concept of a
multinational counternarcotics force among the range of issues
under consideration for the February, 1990, General Assembly
special session on narcotics control issues. The concept has
been the focus of considerable attention, but no Western
Hemisphere country has yet expressed a willingness to permit a
multinational group of foreign troops to conduct drug-control
operations within its borders.
International Drug Control Summit. We will enter into
discussions with source, transit, and consuming countries, to
develop the concept of an International Drug Control Summit, to
be convened early in 1991. If consensus is developed for this
idea, preparatory steps should be completed by December, 1990.
An Andean Summit, announced by President Barco of Colombia and
scheduled to take place on February 15, 1990, with the
participation of the United States, will be an important step
toward laying the groundwork for an International Drug Control
Summit.
U.N. (Vienna) Convention. The United Nations Convention
Against Illicit Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances has
been signed by more than 80 countries. At the Administration's
urging, the U.S. Senate gave its advice and consent to the
Convention on November 22, 1989. The ratification of the
Convention by other signatory states will continue to be a
priority issue in U.S. bilateral relations.
15
International Law Enforcement Cooperation. The
Administration will give priority to the development of bilateral
or multilateral law enforcement cooperation with consumer,
producer, and transit countries. The six Mutual Legal Assistance
Treaties -- MLATs -- that were approved by the Senate on October
24, 1989, should facilitate the transfer of law enforcement
information, and help develop evidence for investigative and
prosecutorial purposes in the United States and abroad. The
Administration will seek the conclusion of additional MLATs.
The September, 1989, National Drug Control Strategy stressed
the need to continue to assist countries through existing
international and regional organizations, including the United
Nations. The Administration will support multinational
organization initiatives that hold significant promise of
increasing the international commitment to drug control.
Developed Country Initiatives. Since the announcement of
the September, 1989, National Drug Control Strategy, the
Administration has undertaken a major initiative through the
Department of State to engage the support of consumer countries
in harmonizing our efforts to control the production and
trafficking of drugs worldwide. We have proposed to Canada, the
major countries of Western Europe, Japan and Australia, the
formation of a consultative mechanism to enhance international
assistance to producer countries aimed at increasing the
effectiveness of international drug control actions, and shall
pursue this initiative in the months ahead. We shall emphasize
16
the importance of specific international actions to support broad
anti-drug initiatives at major multinational meetings, such as
the forthcoming Economic Summit, to be held at Houston, Texas in
July, 1990, and within these fora seek cooperative ways to
contain world drug supply and demand. We will examine several
multilateral drug-related initiatives for discussion at the
Houston Summit, including actions following up the forthcoming
report of the Financial Action Task Force, the pursuit of a
developed country consultative mechanism, a multinational
essential and precursor chemical control initiative, and
international demand reduction efforts which can be advanced by
the developed countries. We shall also continue to search for
productive counternarcotics actions with the Soviet Union, with
which we signed a memorandum of understanding on narcotics issues
in December, 1989.
Coordination of U.S. Drug Efforts Overseas. The
Administration will ensure the coordination of overseas law
enforcement activities in a manner that does not place undue
restraints on contacts or intelligence collection. U.S.
Ambassadors and principal officers will continue to provide
overall guidance and oversight of foreign country narcotics
programs as an undelegable responsibility. They will ensure the
coordination of all agency activities personally. In major drug
source and transit countries, the Ambassador may elect to
establish a fully dedicated Narcotics Control Coordinator who
will support the efforts of the Deputy Chief of Mission to
17
oversee all U.S. narcotics control activities within the host
country.
Several U.S. law enforcement agencies have jurisdictional
responsibilities in foreign drug-related law enforcement matters,
as well as an interest in drug-related intelligence collection.
These include the Treasury Department, which has responsibility
for money laundering control programs abroad, and the U.S.
Customs Service, which has established programs to counter all
smuggling, including the smuggling of drugs. It also involves
the FBI, which has a mandate to collect evidence to support drug
investigations under stipulated circumstances, such as in Italy
and Canada. Apart from such limited circumstances, all drug law
enforcement operations will be conducted under the auspices of
the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the DEA will coordinate
drug law enforcement intelligence collection overseas on behalf
of the United States Government. The DEA shall, however, fully
service the needs of all other agencies in this area, with
enhanced resources for FY 1991 as provided in the President's
budget. The Drug Enforcement Administration will establish
improved procedures for the rapid dissemination of drug
intelligence required by other law enforcement agencies. In
addition to routine support, the DEA will seek host country
approval for special anti-drug projects of interest to other
agencies, and other agency personnel will be assigned to these
projects, as appropriate. Other law enforcement agencies will
maintain direct contacts with country officials and other persons
18
for liaison purposes within their respective non-drug areas of
responsibility.
With respect to the coordination of U.S. military units in a
counternarcotics role abroad, Defense Department counternarcotics
activities in support of U.S. Ambassadors or principal officers,
including support of host country military forces in a
counternarcotics role, will be coordinated with the Department of
State and other Washington agencies, and the appropriate theater
Commander-in-Chief.
Certification. The statutory certification requirement,
which establishes a direct relationship between United States
assistance to major illicit drug producing and transit countries
and their positive performance on drug control, remains an
important element of U.S. international drug control strategy.
As the 1989 National Drug Control Strategy noted, the governments
of major drug producing and drug transit countries should be held
accountable for their performance on narcotics control. In
bilateral relations with such countries, therefore, the United
States will continue to emphasize the requirement for cooperation
with U.S. counternarcotics efforts and for effective independent
actions to suppress the drug trade. The legislative
certification requirement emphasizes "maximum achievable
reductions in production" as a principal criterion by which
counternarcotics efforts should be measured. Until now, however,
his has been interpreted as meaning solely eradication progress,
which is a limited and potentially misleading measure of
19
achievement. To make the certification process a more valuable
tool in persuading other countries of the need for annual and
long-term goals for counterdrug programs, the Department of State
will develop and seek Congressional approval of more effective
performance criteria for use in country certification.
International Information Initiatives. In concert with our
other international policies and programs to attack the drug
problem, an active public information campaign will provide vital
information to foreign publics, leaders, and government officials
to build support for United States and host country actions to
combat drug production, trafficking, and consumption.
The United States Information Agency, with policy guidance
developed by the Department of State and supported by other
Federal agencies, will lead our coordinated international
information efforts. These initiatives will focus on providing
information to foreign audiences about the threat posed by the
drug trade to national security, economic welfare, and the
environment, and educating them about the consequences of illicit
drug use. Our international information programs will also
describe our own domestic drug problem, and our progress in
fighting it.
As the September, 1989, National Drug Control Strategy
stated, programs directed at reducing drug consumption abroad
will be emphasized. These programs will be aimed at drug-
producing, transit, and consumer countries, as well as countries
that currently have little or no drug problem, to strengthen
20
their resolve and ability to resist the expansion of drug use or
trafficking within their own national borders.
Other international demand reduction initiatives are
addressed in the chapter on Education, Community and the
Workplace.
Money Laundering Control. The flow of money does not
recognize national boundaries. As we tighten our own regulations
and enforcement procedures to prevent money launderers from using
the U.S. financial system, they will turn increasingly to foreign
banks and transfer mechanisms to disguise the source of their
funds and convert them to legitimate use. Our money laundering
strategy seeks to attain three primary goals: the prosecution
and incarceration of money launderers and, through
investigations, the identification, prosecution and incarceration
of leaders and members of drug trafficking organizations; the
freezing, seizure or confiscation of criminally derived assets;
and the deterrence of individuals or institutions from
cooperating with money launderers or their clients through the
enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the enactment or
strengthening of laws and regulations where needed, and the
certainty of sanctions in the event of noncompliance.
To this end, the Administration has created a multi-agency
policy oversight mechanism -- a Drug-related Financial Crimes
Policy Group (termed a "Financial Targeting Group" in the
September, 1989, strategy) -- chaired by the Deputy Director for
Supply Reduction of the Office of National Drug Control Policy,
21
which will have an advisory board of experts from the private
sector and representatives from State and local governments. The
Drug-related Financial Crimes Policy Group (DFCPG) will develop
policy and strategies to combat money laundering and to establish
and maintain strong cooperative relationships at the Federal and
state levels. It will also work to strengthen state money
laundering laws and the states' regulation and monitoring of non-
bank financial institutions which are licensed by state and local
governments. The DFCPG will oversee and coordinate Federal
government activities related to financial regulation and
intelligence; international financial programs; the interdiction
and seizure of illicit currency and monetary instruments;
procedures and issues involving the identification, tracing,
freezing, seizure, and confiscation of criminally derived assets;
and other U.S. actions designed to counter money laundering, both
domestically and internationally. The DFCPG also will work to
strengthen existing mechanisms for drug-related financial
investigations, and seek to intensify multi-agency investigations
and special operations that use a range of Federal and state
government resources and expertise to uncover money laundering
conspiracies activities serving as supporting mechanisms for
drug-trafficking conspiracies.
The Department of the Treasury' Financial Crimes Enforcement
Network (FINCEN), with the participation of the Justice
Department and other agencies, will analyze Treasury Department
financial reporting information, as well as other information and
22
intelligence provided by participating agencies, and disseminate
its analytical product. FINCEN will also develop a mechanism
that will allow for information-sharing relationships with
foreign financial information services to specifically address
the financial flow of illicit proceeds, permitting financial
intelligence to be passed between U.S. and foreign law
enforcement entities. Needed financial information will be made
available to domestic and cooperating foreign regulatory and law
enforcement authorities, where appropriate, for their use in
money laundering and related investigations. Such dissemination
will be subject to strict safeguards to ensure the proper use of
such financial information and protect the privacy of those
conducting legitimate transactions.
The Administration, through the Drug-related Financial
Crimes Policy Group, will intensify contacts with the financial
and non-financial industry communities in the United States and
abroad, to urge their active support for measures to counter
money laundering. It will formally request that banks, financial
institutions and non-bank financial institutions and retail
businesses report suspicious cash transactions at all levels.
The Department of the Treasury will develop, with private sector
industries, data recording equipment and procedures to record,
correlate, and alert Federal authorities to large cash deposits
at and below regulated thresholds on a real-time basis. Special
attention will be given to the feasibility of regulations and
means to record wire transfers.
23
The Administration will emphasize bilateral and multilateral
cooperative approaches with foreign governments to prevent the
use of the financial system for money laundering. We will
pursue, through the Department of State, the conclusion of
bilateral and multilateral cooperation agreements, including the
ratification of the U.N. Convention, which support measures to
facilitate the identification, tracing, freezing, seizure and
confiscation of criminal proceeds, and which support the
enactment of laws which criminalize money laundering. In
bilateral relations, we will negotiate with a number of
countries pursuant to Section 4702 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of
1988 (the Kerry Amendment) to ensure that their banks and non-
bank financial institutions maintain adequate records of
financial transactions, and that they share financial information
with the United States. We will also work with other countries
toward the goal of sharing seized assets with producer or transit
countries that develop information leading to such seizures.
Drug Chemical Controls. The Chemical Diversion and
Trafficking Act is the foundation of United States efforts to
reduce the production and illicit transfer of essential precursor
chemicals. The Act and regulations promulgated pursuant to it
impose stringent domestic controls on the export of chemicals
used in the illicit production of cocaine, by identifying drug
chemical purchasers in the cocaine producing countries and
stopping shipments to bogus or uncooperative purchasers. These
24
controls will be enforced by the Drug Enforcement Administration
and the U.S. Customs Service.
Other provisions of the Act provide the framework for the
establishment of DEA-administered importer and distributor
identification programs, record-keeping requirements designed to
identify and apprehend drug traffickers purchasing such
chemicals, and a civil inspection program to ensure compliance
with strategy objectives.
In our bilateral relations, we will urge the enactment and
enforcement of national laws similar to our own and seek the
establishment of investigative and monitoring programs in other
countries. Special emphasis will be given to encouraging
European efforts to stop the flow of essential and precursor
chemicals to drug producing countries. The Drug Enforcement
Administration, in coordination with the Department of State and
with the oversight of the Office of National Drug Control Policy,
will monitor and seek means to enhance efforts to attack chemical
reprocessing by drug trafficking organizations and the production
of essential and precursor chemicals by source and transit
countries.

EXPANDED DRAFT AGENDA PAPER
The Presidents consider that a strategy which commits the
parties to implement or strengthen a comprehensive,
intensified anti-narcotics program must address the issues of
reduction of demand and consumption, as well as include
understandings regarding economic cooperation and alternative
development; understandings regarding attacking the trade in
illicit drugs; and understandings regarding diplomatic and
public diplomacy initiatives.
The Presidents recognize that these areas are
interconnected and self-reinforcing. Progress in one area
will help achieve progress in others, failure in any of the
areas could threaten success in the others. The order in
which they are addressed here does not assign to them any
particular priority. Indeed, economic cooperation and
international initiatives cannot be effective unless there are
concomitant strong programs attacking the trade in illicit
drugs.
The parties will negotiate bilateral agreements specifying
their responsibilities and commitments with regard to economic
cooperation and intensified enforcement actions.
A. Understandings Regarding Economic Cooperation and
Alternative Development
Despite their highly distortionary effect on the economies of
the Andean parties, illicit coca earnings contribute to
foreign exchange inflows, job creation and incomes.
Therefore, the suppression of the coca trade will cause severe
immediate and long-term dislocations, not only in the
coca-producing areas, but throughout the producing countries.
The four parties recognize the destabilizing effects of
eliminating a major, though illicit, income earner. The US
will request that Congress make an additional funds during FY
91-94 to assist the three Andean parties in their efforts to
redress the short- and long-term economic dislocations that
occur as a result of effective counter-narcotics efforts.
Provision of USG economic cooperation each year will depend
upon effective counternarcotics actions by the three Andean
parties. The three Andean parties recognize that sound
economic policies are an essential prerequisite to outside
cooperation and to the effective utilization of development
assistance. The US is also prepared to cooperate with the
three Andean parties in a variety of other development, trade
and investment initiatives to enhance and sustain long-term
economic adjustment and growth.

-- Mitigation of the social and economic costs of attacking
the trade in illegal drugs
As the three Andean parties implement effective
interdiction and eradication programs, fast-disbursing
assistance will be required to mitigate the social and
economic costs at the micro and macro level. The parties
will cooperate to identify the type of assistance
required. The US is prepared to provide balance of
payments support to finance imports and help service
IFI debts. The US will also consider funding for social
emergency programs, such as the successful Bolivia
program, to provide food supplies, employment
opportunities, etc. for the rural poor most directly
affected by counter-narcotics efforts.
-- Crop substitution and alternate economic activities
Our joint intention is that counter-narcotics efforts
will disrupt the markets for coca and lower the prices
paid for coca leaf. As these efforts succeed, persons
engaged in coca cultivation and primary processing will
require alternative sources of income whether through
crop substitution or other employment. The parties will
cooperate to identify alternate income activities for
external funding. The US is prepared to consider funding
activities such as agricultural research, extension,
credit and other supporting services; market development;
and support private sector-led initiatives for
development of small-scale business and agro-industry.
-- Development cooperation
To promote expanded job and income opportunities
throughout their economies, the three Andean parties will
require external economic cooperation and sound economic
policies leading to long-term, sustainable economic
growth. The US will support efforts to stimulate
broad-based rural development; develop non-traditional
exports; build productive infrastructure; provide debt
relief; etc. The parties will identify the economic
assistance required and internal policy reforms needed to
assure economic adjustment and sustainable alternative
development. The US is prepared to fund this type of
development activity in cooperation with other bilateral
and multilateral institutions.

-- Trade initiatives and investment incentives
Trade initiatives and investment incentives are also
essential to facilitate sustained economic growth and to
help offset the economic dislocations that occur as a
result of a effective counter-narcotics programs. The US
is already providing cooperation in identifying potential
benefits under GSP and developing export promotion
strategies. Among other trade initiatives to be offered
are technical assistance to improve trade performance;
exploring possibilities to expand the textile trade;
priority attention to negotiating an international coffee
agreement; accelerated negotiation on tariffs and
non-tariff measures with Andean participants in the
Uruguay Round; and support for the multilateral
development banks' efforts to encourage meaningful trade
policy reforms.
B. Understandings Regarding Attacking the Trade in Illicit
Drugs
The trade in illicit drugs must be attacked at each link of
the chain -- production, transportation, and consumption. At
the same time the flow of money from the consumers back to the
producers must be attacked at each step along the way in order
to make it more difficult for the traffickers to move the
profits to bank accounts all over the world, to make it more
difficult for them to enjoy these ill gotten gains, and to
disrupt their ability to purchase the coca leaf from the
farmers and pay the processors who refine the leaf. The
assets of the traffickers, the chemicals used to refine the
product, and the ships and planes used to transport drugs must
also be identified, seized, and then confiscated by the
affected government. These efforts, to be successful, must be
carried out simultaneously, vigorously, and in a coordinated
fashion employing both police and military forces, and
prosecutors and courts.
-- Interdiction
A battle against an illicit product must focus on the
trade in that product. Interdiction of cocaine as it
moves from producer to consumer is essential. Clearly
efforts can be most effective where the product is
concentrated and where it is most vulnerable. By the
time it reaches the streets for distribution -- whether
in Lima or Los Angeles, Bogota or Birmingham --
equivalent effort produces a lower return. Cooperation
between the producer, transit, and consuming countries is
essential. The parties pledge to step up their efforts
within their own countries to interdict illegal drugs and
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE
- 4 -
to increase coordination and cooperation among each other
to facilitate this battle. The US is ready to provide
increased cooperation in equipment and training to the
police officers of the three Andean parties.
-- Military involvement in the drug war
In the war against illicit drugs, all resources must be
brought to bear. While efforts to enforce the criminal
laws of a nation are generally left to the police, the
drug traffickers often have greater resources than the
police forces, or operate in areas where remoteness or
insurgent activity makes normal police operations
impossible. Military forces can provide transportation,
patrol rivers and coastlines, provide security against
insurgents, and move directly against major
concentrations of traffickers and their laboratories.
The US military will assist US law enforcement agencies
interdict illegal drugs in transit to the US in
international waters and air space. Depending on the
success of the three Andean parties' enforcement
operations, the US Administration will request Congress
to provide . additional police and military cooperation
for the three Andean countries. The cooperation is to be
used to support the military to attack guerrillas who are
in geographic proximity or de facto alliance with the
narco traffickers.
-- Coordination between police and military
With a full effort against trafficking from both police
and military forces, coordination between the two becomes
crucial, in order to avoid duplication of effort, and to
prevent inadvertent encounters between police and
military units, and to make efforts against traffickers
more effective. The US must tailor its cooperation and
will work with other donors to the same end -- to
facilitate coordination between police and military.
-- Police, military and intelligence cooperation
Intelligence cooperation multiplies the impact of other
efforts. Cooperation in this field is necessary both
among the countries and within each country. Of course,
sensitive intelligence must be properly controlled so as
not to compromise law enforcement and interdiction
operations, jeopardize the safety of police and military
personnel, or undermine prosecutions of drug
traffickers. The four parties commit themselves to
improving intelligence coordination among themselves and
within each country.

-- Eradication and discouragement of new coca plantings
Coca eradication should be an essential component of a
nations overall strategy to attack the trade of illicit
drugs. Careful case-by-case consideration must be given
to aerial and manual eradication programs -- for their
potential effect on total country production, for their
marginal costs and benefits when compared to other
counter-drug programs in the same country or areas, and
for their likely political consequences. Where
environmental studies demonstrate that herbicidal
eradication is safe, then aerial eradication should
begin. The parties support eradication programs and
further agree to work toward sustaining suppression of
coca cultivation -- after eradication -- by actively
preventing new planting of coca. Eradication whether
voluntary or involuntary becomes an endless endeavor if
offset by new plantings. New economic opportunities must
be fostered as outlined (in part a) above in order to
discourage farmers from expanding their plantings and to
discourage newcomers from moving into the production of
coca.
-- Financial controls, including money laundering
Massive drug-generated wealth gives drug traffickers the
capability to penetrate -- and potentially dominate --
both legitimate and illegitimate commercial markets, to
corrupt government and law enforcement officials, and to
destabilize governments. The parties agree to identify,
trace, freeze, seize and confiscate drug crime proceeds
in their respective countries; to attack financial
aspects of the drug trade, by adopting strong measures to
criminalize money laundering and then to effectively
prosecute drug traffickers and money launderers who use
the international financial system to disguise and move
criminally derived funds across national borders.
-- Judicial protection and reform
Enforcement of narcotics laws is severely hampered by
inefficiencies of criminal justice systems, as well as
bribery and intimidation by narcotics traffickers. The
parties agree to give priority to identification of
reforms of both a normative and institutional
nature necessary to revitalize their criminal justice
processes to provide for the rapid and effective
prosecution of these criminals and to work together with
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE
LIMITED OFFICIAL USE
- 6 -
each other, as appropriate, to implement these measures.
Such measures will include steps to provide physical
protection of judicial personnel. The parties recognize
the value of international cooperation in strengthening
the administration of justice, including the protection
of judicial personnel and prosecutors involved in
narcotics cases, as an essential underpinning for
democratic institutions.
-- Control of illegal weapons, planes and ships
The cocaine industry is heavily dependent on weapons and
air and maritime transportation throughout the
growing-production-distribution process. The parties
agree to strengthen control over movement of illegal
weapons and over sale, resale and registration of
aircraft and maritime vessels. With the cooperation of
the US, the three Andean parties agree to establish
control programs with US assistance that include aircraft
and vessel registration, effective seizure laws that lead
to successful prosecutions and aircraft/vessel seizures,
controls on pilot licenses, training, registration of
airfields, and control of access to fuel and other
consumables. The US agrees to stem illegal weapons
exports from the US by effectively using existing
legislation to control export of US-made armaments to
narco-traffickers in the Andean region.
-- Control of precursor chemicals
Chemicals diverted from legitimate commerce are critical
to the production of cocaine. There is a need to control
the imports and distribution of precursor chemicals in
order to prevent their diversion for use in the
production of cocaine. The parties agree that an
emphasis must be on interdicting the movement of
chemicals that have already entered the country, legally
or illegally, and are being diverted for coca
processing. This includes controlling choke points --
critical river junctures, port facilities, airfields, and
chemical distribution and transportation facilities -- as
well as establishing investigative and monitoring
programs, in close cooperation with all the parties' law
enforcement agencies. Furthermore, the three Andean
parties agree to develop an internal system to track
chemicals through the sale, resale, and distribution to
the end user. The parties agree to cooperate bilaterally
and multilaterally to provide each other with information
necessary to track domestic and international movements
of precursor chemicals for the purpose of controlling
their sale and monitoring their movement.

--- Seizing and sharing of assets
A well-developed and efficiently managed asset forfeiture
program will produce valuable monetary and political
benefits for government and law enforcement agencies. A
program should include mechanisms for the seizure and
eventual forfeiture of properties and assets which are
either the proceeds of drug-related offenses or employed
in the commission of such offenses. Assets subject to
forfeiture should include real and personal property and
assets equivalent to assets derived from the proceeds
derived from drug-related offenses, including money
laundering. The parties pledge to take the steps
necessary to enact legislation and implement an effective
program.
-- Legal cooperation, including extradition procedures
The parties pledge to ratify the 1988 Vienna Convention
on Narcotic Drugs and then to effectively carry out its
provisions regarding criminalizing all aspects of
narcotics trafficking, money laundering, and related
offenses (including criminal conspiracy offenses); mutual
legal assistance; assets confiscation and sharing; and
related measures.
The parties pledge to effectively implement existing
extradition treaties and related arrangements, including
article 36 of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic
Drugs, as amended by the 1972 Protocol. In furtherance
of this objective, appropriate legal teams from each
country will meet with their counterparts, as necessary,
to discuss appropriate and effective extradition
mechanisms.
The parties pledge to cooperate in the sharing of
evidence, in forms admissible in judicial proceeding,
through informal cooperative mechanisms and, as
necessary, appropriate bilateral agreements.
C. Initiatives Understandings Regarding Diplomatic and Public Diplomacy
The drug problem transcends borders, threatens national
and international security and erodes the economic and social
fabric of our nations. It is critical that all people and
governments are aware of this grave threat and mount a
political and economic response to meet the objective to
reduce demand for drugs, curb illicit production and destroy
the drug trafficking organizations. To this end, the parties
commit themselves to use every opportunity and every viable

institution to carry out programs aimed at achieving our
objective. A major strategy is to strengthen anti-narcotics
cooperation countries. and coordination between donor and recipient
-- Building Public Support for an Intensification of the
Battle Against the Trafficking Networks
Eliminating the drug menace in consuming, producing and
trafficking countries requires intensive information and
public diplomacy efforts directed at increasing public
awareness of the personal and societal dangers of drug
use and the threat to national security of drug
production and trafficking. The four Presidents have
dedicated their governments to closer cooperation in
efforts to reduce demand for drugs. They have agreed to
intensify their work in the development of joint public
awareness programs, the exchange of ideas, information
and experts in the field, and the sharing of demand
reduction experience. The parties also call upon all
countries to work toward the establishment of an
international public awareness campaign that will
highlight the reality of the drug trafficking networks
and enlist the political and financial support required
to wage an effective international anti-narcotics war.
(see USIA draft)
-- G-7 Economic Summit
At the July Paris meeting of the Summit Seven, a
narcotics related Financial Action Task Force consisting
of G-7 members and non-members was established to
identify how governments might facilitate cooperation and
effective action against money laundering. The parties
will call upon the members of the Summit Seven and other
participants in the Financial Action Task Force to give
priority to consideration to economic measures which will
aid in the reduction of illicit cultivation and the
building of legal and judicial institutions in those
countries most affected by the illicit cultivation and
trafficking of drugs. The US is chair of the next G-7
Summit and will use this position to place the
anti-narcotics battle high on the Summit agenda.
-- Multilateral/Bilateral Approaches and Coordination
Economic adjustment and sustained economic growth will
require more economic cooperation and trade and
investment incentives than can be provided by the US
alone. The parties will make a concerted effort to
enlist the support of multilateral institutions and other
economic partners as the three Andean nations implement

an effective counter-narcotics program and sound economic
policies. The US has already made such an approach to
the OECD through its Development Assistance
Committee (DAC) in December, 1989 and many of our European
partners. The parties will call upon the multilateral
and international organizations to develop a strategic
approach to the Andean anti-narcotics program to ensure
that their cooperation is maximized and takes into
account the special economic and development needs of the
Andean parties.
-- Report to UN Special Session on Narcotics
The United Nations has recognized that the drug problem
is a major threat to international security and economic
stability. The UN has called for a Anti-Narcotics Global
Action Plan to energize the UN agencies which have drug
control mandates. A special session of the United
Nations will be held Feb. 20-23, 1989 to discuss the
magnitude of the world-wide drug problem. The parties
urge that during this special session the UN give
priority attention to identification of substantive
programs for strengthening the multilateral response to
the drug problem as mandated in UNGA resolution L.36.
-- Madrid Tri-Lateral Meeting on Drugs
At the November 1989 Madrid Trilateral conference
generous offers of support by Italy and Spain were made
to Peru, Colombia and Bolivia for law enforcement
activities relating to their anti-narcotics activities.
As follow-up to the meeting, Spain and Italy presented
the case for increased European financial cooperation
with the Andean countries during the December Trevi
meeting in Paris. The parties will coordinate closely to
identify other actions necessary to maximize European
cooperation in the anti-narcotics effort.
-- Approaches To Transit Countries
Drugs often move through transit countries on the way to
the consumer countries, and narco corruption has begun to
undermine institutions in the transit countries as well
as in the producing and consuming countries. An
effective interdiction strategy requires cooperation with
and from these countries. The parties pledge to
cooperate with transit countries in repressing the
transit of drugs. Such collaboration shall include the
provision of expertise and assistance to enable their law
enforcement authorities to identify and track illicit
movements of drugs through their territory.

-- Call for a Follow-up Meeting
To pursue the objectives agreed to at this Summit and to
ensure long-term commitment of our countries to continue
our fight, the parties call for a follow-up meeting in
six months to bring together those nations which dedicate
themselves to the elimination of consumption, trafficking
and illicit production of drugs.

Deputy Assistant Secretary
Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Inter-American Affairs
Department of State
FROM:
Stanley Director A. Zuckerman stz
Officer of American Republics Affairs
SUBJECT:
Proposed U.S.-Andean Public Awareness
Agreement
Attached is a draft of an understanding we are proposing for
signature at the Andean drug summit.
We have, on a unilateral basis, been carrying out for a number
of years programs directed at Colombia, Peru and Bolivia which
have sought to engage the attention of those nations on
narcotics issues by pointing out that:
a. Countries which produce drugs inevitably consume them.
b. The U.S. is trying to reduce demand for illicit
narcotics at the same time that we are urging them to
reduce supply.
C. The U.S. has developed a body of experience in both
demand and supply reduction that we are willing to share
with them.
Up until now, this program has been carried out
unilaterally. Although we need Andean cooperation at many
stages of administering the program (their institutions must
receive our speakers, their officials must be permitted to
accept our travel invitations, their schools must be willing to
accept our materials, their officials and journalists must be
willing to participate in our satellite TV programs), we have
not proposed co-administering these costly undertakings.
We now propose to do SO, We feel that sharing access to
these resources with them will make it more likely that they
will find their way to the target audiences we want to reach.
And we also feel that doing so will reinforce our basic message
that public awareness and demand reduction is a requirement in
the Andes as well as in the United States, and that the war on
drugs is a joint undertaking in every respect.
- 2 -
We are separately trying to summarize all of the resources we
brought to bear in FY 1989 on narcotics programming in the
three Andean countries involved, and hope to have a paper for
you tomorrow.
Statement of Understanding
The four countries agree that the process of production, distribution and
use of illegal drugs knows no boundaries. No country is immune. Any one
of these drug chain activities inevitably leads to establishment of the
others at home and abroad. The four involved countries recognize this
and intend to take steps now to reduce consumption as well as production
in their nations. Over the years the four countries have held intensive
dialogue on eradication, criminal activity, public awareness, and demand
reduction. We now intend to expand this dialogue into a coordinated
multi-lateral, multi-dimensional effort.
The four countries will carry out long term, continuous cooperative
programs to raise public awareness and galvanize public support for these
efforts. These will be fully multilateral and regional projects. All
parties will utilize each others' ideas and experience. Co-sponsors from
all communities will be welcomed to come forward and participate in this
effort.
In this fully cooperative endeavor, the U.S. looks forward to benefiting
from the experience and expertise available among our Andean partners.
Ideas and programs from government and the private sector will flow north
as well as south, SO that the U.S., as the great consumer of illicit
drugs, can benefit from the experience of the three Andean countries.
The four countries recognize that cross-fertilization of ideas,
experience and activities is essential to the success of this overall
effort. To move toward this objective, the countries agree to:
--establish and share the International Narcotics Information Network
(ININ), a computerized data base, SO that research and other forms of
information on anti-drug activities in the four countries and
elsewhere can be made accessible and easily obtainable to those
needing this information.
--jointly co-sponsor mass media projects that promote the sharing of
information about drug problems and solutions in the four countries.
Geographic barriers and distance between the four countries will no
longer block the vital information our citizens need to fight the
scourge of drugs. This effort should result in greater media
(electronic and print) cooperation. Mechanisms will be strengthened
to facilitate the regular appearance of items produced by journalists
of one country in the media of the other.
--co-produce and sponsor the distribution and dissemination of media
products aimed at children and young adults for use in schools,
religious and other non-governmental community based organizations.
--co-operate in the production of educational materials using all
available media -- print and electronic -- that can be utilized by
all sectors of society; establish a library/bank of these
educational materials as part of national libraries accessible to
concerned ministries and private groups; materials would be indexed
on the ININ computerized database.
- 2 -
--co-sponsor efforts to educate the private and public sectors of the
Andean countries to take full advantage of the U.S. Andean Trade
Initiative (ATI). This will include activities such as seminars and
workshops, written and electronic promotional materials.
--encourage the international academic exchange communities in each
country to develop exchange programs focusing on drug-related
matters; provide for the exchange of curriculum consultants to assist
in the development of drug education materials for their nations'
schools;
--assist non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the development of
education, prevention and treatment programs
--produce and distribute a series of pamphlets that focus on drug
abuse awareness and education.
