DAS additionally - we turned down Varges Llora - Hdl S close Wdds (as well as ) CC: Roger Porter Bill Roper August 30, 1989 MEMORANDUM TO JIM PINKERTON FROM: A/AID, Peter Schaefer SUBJECT: A Costa Rica Meeting with Hernando de Soto 1. Issue: As we discussed on the 24th, the issue is; should the President meet with Hernando? And, if so, should the meeting take place in Costa Rica during the OAS conference in October? 2. Purpose: No matter what the venue, the purpose of the meeting is clear. Hernando's ideas have direct and immediate relevance to the i) strategy and tactics of debt reform, ii) to the overall strategies for LDC development, and in a larger sense iii) to the process of democratization. The substance of the meeting could be a continuation of Hernado's recent meeting with Secretary Brady on debt reform. Or he could prepare a broader agenda as you advise. In essence the meeting with Secretary Brady made the point that the sort of "top down" marco-economic reforms that the IMF, World Bank, and Treasury promote are necessary but not sufficient for reform (see today's Financial Times article). In addition there must be a parallel process of "bottom up" structural or institutional reform. Since de Soto's techniques, analysis, and programs offer the West our first true picture of the disenfranchised poor, we now have the ability and tools to push this two-track process of reform forward. 3. Background: Hernando's ideas as they are contained in The Other Path are becoming integral to the most basic debate within the West on the rationale for true economic liberalization and real democratization (as opposed to simply elections). For your information, in the course of those discussions he has met with or been supported by, amongst others, President Reagan, Secretaries Schultz, Baker, Brady, Kemp, Cheney, VP Quayle, Senators Bradly, Helms, Gramm, and others, Representatives Hyde, Edwards, Gingrich and others. -2- Earlier in the year Alan Woods sent a copy of de Soto's book to the President (Woods cover letter and GB reply attached). And several weeks ago Mitch Daniels had lunch with the President and Gov. Sununu in which de Soto was discussed again. Mitch left two more copies with them. And Secretary Kemp also has suggested a meeting with the President (note attached). 4. Discussion: There is considerable interest in Western countries. But more important to deciding the issue of this memo is that de Soto's ideas are spreading throughout the Third World and especially Latin America. For example, outside of this hemisphere; - The editor (Aggrey Klaaste) of the largest black newspaper in South Africa ("The Sowetan") has said, in effect, the road to Black liberation is not through political revolution but through Black economic empowerment. Hernando will travel there later this year as a guest of nearly the entire Black and White anti-apartheid spectrum - ILD-type think tanks are being formed in Africa and Asia. - In November de Soto will spend eight days in the USSR to discuss his ideas as they relate to peristroika. He will be the guest of Abel Aganbegyan (the "father" of peristroika) and Pavel Bunich (the "czar" of peristroika). The greatest impact is being felt in Latin America; - In Peru both the conservative and the left-wing communist candidates for President in '90 have publicly stated that they would like Hernando as their vice president while the current center-left president is now implementing much of de Soto's program (though too late to save his regime). - Hernando received the '88 Labor Peace Prize in Peru which is a big event. - Perez de Cuellar (a Peruvian) in a letter to President Reagan stated that in supporting de Soto they had found a common ground. Most relevant to the issue of whether Hernando should meet with the President here or in Costa Rica are these main points; - Hernando's ideas have spread throughout Latin America where his book is the #1 bestseller in every Spanish speaking country (it even made the Washington Post bestseller list). -3- - There are ILD-type institutes being planned or started throughout South and Central America (Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Venezuela, Columbia, Guatemala so far). - In '87 Hernando was #7 in the "man-of-the-year" balloting by AP with only five politicians and the Catholic Cardinal of Nicaragua ahead of him. - Hugo Banzer, the leading Bolivian vote-getter in the recent Presidential elections (he now controls the finance ministry), publicly ran on the "Sotismo" agenda and has stated that he intends to implement de Soto reforms. - Freddie Christiani had requested a meeting with Hernando before the election to incorporate his ideas into the platform. This was not possible, but they are now scheduled to meet the week before the Costa Rica trip. - President Menem has asked to meet Hernando and he is traveling to Argentina in September to meet the President and his Minister of State for Governmental Reform. - The poll leader in the upcoming Brazilian election (Collor) has stated that he will employ de Soto's ideas if elected. - Hernando recently addressed the parliament of Honduras and met the President at their request. - He recently met with the presidents of both Guatemala and the Dominican Republic also at their request. 5. Recommendation: There is little doubt that there will be controversy surrounding the President's trip to Costa Rica; Contra policy, Nicaragua relations, US position on Noriega, Cuba, etc, etc. Plus, the trip will come after the drug speech which will create significant debate in Latin America no matter how good the plan may be. Having a meeting with a popular Latin American who stands for a set of Latin-grown principles which reaffirm our basic values and with which we are in agreement should, in itself, be persuasive in deciding on a meeting. But if we add to that that there could come out of that meeting some specific, new ideas on reforms for debt relief (see section two, para. three, above) that have demonstrated wide appeal throughout Latin America (and which are not generally addressed in debt plans today) then such a meeting may be good in terms of both PR and substance. And finally since de Soto will be going to the USSR, a positive meeting with the President just three weeks before his departure could be an occasion to add a bit of subtle support to peristroika.

DC 20523 April 20, 1989 THE ADMINISTRATOR The Honorable Jack Kemp Secretary Department of Housing and Urban Development Washington, D.C. 20410 Dear Mr. Secretary: I am enclosing a book titled, The Other Path, by Hernando de Soto a Peruvian economist, which I believe you will find provocative. In the meetings that I have had with Hernando, I heard so many echoes of ideas that you have championed over the years that I am pleased to have the chance to introduce you to him, at least in print. Hernando's book offers profound, new insights in the causes of poverty in the developing countries and is especially relevant to the confrontation with Marxism and "Liberation Theology" in the LDCs. The book documents a post-war process of urbanization in which the poor of Latin America, who have never read Jefferson or Adam Smith, run their affairs democratically and organize their private, parallel economy in a free and unregulated manner. It would seem that through de Soto's work we believers in democratic capitalism have an answer to Marx which comes from the developing countries themselves. Moreover, these answers, when put in the right vocabulary, are truly popular. This has been demonstrated by a series of regulatory reforms in Peru many of which have been championed by the extreme left as well as the conservative right. Hernando de Soto's political analysis of the left in Latin America is that they are very soft and what in fact they seek is not communism but reform. Indeed, he believes few even understand communism. This thesis rings of the "agrarian reform" apologia of the 50s and 60s, but it seems to be supported by what is happening in Peru. Both the leading presidential candidates (communist and conservative) are strong supporters of de Soto's ideas. Barrantes, the communist Mayor of Lima, has facilitated the issuance of more titles to private property than anyone in Peru's history, while the conservative, Mario Vargas Llosa, wrote the introduction, to this book. -2- I hope you find this interesting and I would be delighted to arrange a meeting for you with Hernando. He is really documenting the process of Latin urbanization and if there is anything that jumps out of his book, it is the idea that people everywhere seem to want the same things and seem to organize their lives in remarkably similar ways.

I appreciate your sharing this work on the causes of poverty in developing countries, and your views and comments regarding the debt crisis in Latin America. It's always encouraging to receive evidence that the tenets of democracy and the free enterprise system are spreading around the world. With my best wishes, Sincerely, ay Bush The Honorable Alan Woods The Administrator Agency for International Development Washington, D.C. 20523 I AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT WASHINGTON. DC 20523 THE ADMINISTRATOR April 20, 1989 The President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: I am enclosing a book titled, The Other Path, by Hernando de Soto, a Peruvian economist, which I believe you will find provocative. It is the number one best seller in every country in Latin America where it has been published save Brazil where Spanish is not so easily read. I believe that de Soto offers profound new insights into the causes of poverty in the developing countries. In doing so he suggests new options for dealing with the developing country reforms which are critical for solving the debt crisis these countries face. The book analyzes in great detail the underground economy of Peru. To most everyone's surprise de Soto shows that it is large and growing. The underground economy of Peru accounts for 60% of the hours worked and 40% of the GNP. Peru's formal economy -- the one we deal with -- is shrinking and generally unsuccessful. The book is a gold mine of insights, yet perhaps the most important one that we in the West should take away from reading it is to realize that the poor of Latin America, who have never read Jefferson or Adam Smith, run their affairs democratically and organize their private, parallel economy in a free and unregulated manner. -2- In a word, those of us who believe in democratic capitalism have a new answer to Marx, an answer which comes from the developing countries themselves. Moreover, de Soto's answer, when put in the right vocabulary, is truly popular. This has been demonstrated by a series of regulatory reforms in Peru, many of which have been championed by the extreme left as well as the conservative in other countries. right. Interestingly, these changes are now being adopted Thank you.

I too have sons and cannot imagine what grief and pain it must bring you. I am told that he bravely overcame heart disease at an early age and was a fine student and athlete. I am told also, Comandante, that you so ably and bravely command the 64th commandancia, which is in the heart of terrorist and drug trafficking country. I commend your courage and dedication to duty. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and I hope that you will have the strength to continue the fight against drugs and terrorism and to lead the brave men of the 64th Commandancia with the courage for which you are known.

I cannot imagine the pain and sense of loss that you and Clyde's family must feel. Clyde was a soldier and chose a profession that required courage and commitment. He served his country with honor and distinction in the most dangerous and difficult of missions in Vietnam and after retirement from the military signed up for another war, the war against drugs and terrorism in Peru with the State Department. There too Clyde demonstrated bravery and his commitment to a cause. I give you my word that we are going to stay the course in this war and do what it takes to win, so that men and women like Clyde will not have died in vain. Please accept my deepest sentiments and prayers during this period of sadness for you and the members of your entire family.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. McDonald: It is with profound sadness and regret that I learned of the tragic death of your son Billy and the members of his mission in Peru on May 20. I can only try to imagine the sense of loss and grief that you must certainly feel at this time. I know that your family is very much involved with aviation and that it was very much a part of Billy's life, first as a United States Army Helicopter Pilot and then as a civilian. Having received the Medal of Valor, the Silver Star in Vietnam and two air medals, your son was truly a heroic and courageous man. His last mission in Peru in the war against drugs was no less heroic and valorous. You have much to be proud of in raising a son like Billy and we, as Americans, owe much to you for having done SO. His and your great sacrifice is not in vain, I assure you. Once again, please accept our deepest sentiments and prayers and our thoughts which are with you and your family in this period of sadness.

My thoughts and prayers and those of my family are with you in your hour of sorrow and grief. Having been a pilot, I know the constant danger and peril which Dennis faced and the bravery that his profession demands. He served his country with honor and distinction as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam, helping to evacuate his fellow Americans from that troubled land and then again as a pilot for Air America in Southeast Asia. Once again, he answered the call of his country in a different war, the war against drugs in South America. You have my word that Dennis' death will not have been in vain and that I am personally committed to putting an end to this terrible scourge of drugs on our society. I know that I speak for millions of Americans who, with me, are thankful for men like Dennis and extend to you and your sons William and Robert our deepest sentiments. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Paul R.

I cannot imagine the sense of pain and grief that you must feel at this time. Rick was a brave and committed young man who dedicated his life to the dangerous and violent world of drug enforcement, so that we might fight this terrible scourge of drugs in our society. His decision to go to Peru, was perhaps the one which required the greatest courage and committment of all; yet, I am told that Rick did so without hesitation. I know of Rick's outstanding record as a police officer on the Little Rock Police Department and of his awards and achievements in five years as a DEA Special Agent. He was highly regarded and was truly the type of fine individual and son that we, as parents, can be proud of. Without men such as Rick, our world would indeed be a dark and threatening place. Rick was respected and admired by his fellow officers, and will truly be missed by them and those who value a civilized and lawful society.

CONFIDENTIAL Pacelli CONFIDENTIAL 3890 NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL WASHINGTON, D.C. 20506 File Peru May 22, 1989 ACTION print MEMORANDUM FOR BRENT SCOWCROFT DAS for THROUGH: EVERETT E. BRIGGS Nati Sec Advisor DAP for has seen FROM: WILLIAM T. PRYCE DAVID A. PACELLI DAP SUBJECT: Possible Call to the President from Peruvian President Garcia Peruvian President Garcia told former Assistant Secretary of State Abrams on May 18 that he was very pleased with his recent telephone conversation with the President and may call the President soon (Tab II). Garcia said he would raise two issues in any call he may make, Peru's performance in the recent OAS meeting and anti-narcotics cooperation. Garcia does not want the President to believe recent press reporting that Peru opposed the U.S. position in the OAS. In point of fact, Peru was decidedly unhelpful at the Foreign Ministers meeting last week. It presented a very weak resolution as a counter to the Venezuelan resolution which we favored. In his speech presenting the resolution--the only speech of the session--Foreign Minister Larco Cox made numerous gratuitous jibes at the United States and abstained on the amendment which specifically named Noriega. He subsequently agreed to the overall resolution, as did every OAS member. Our suggested talking points for the President would mention our disappointment at the Peruvian abstention, but concentrate on the need for future positive OAS action. On drug issues, our Ambassador believes Garcia does not grasp the limited availability of funding for U.S. anti-narcotics programs and that he will urge a greater U.S. effort. We expect Garcia would also mention the plane crash on May 20 that killed 9 people involved in the anti-narcotics effort, including 6 Americans. We believe the President should make known the dimensions of our anti-drug effort but tell Garcia that we are currently engaged in a major review of our drug control policy which could have a considerable impact on levels of U.S. support for Peru. The President should also express condolences about the Peruvians killed in the plane crash. David Miller concurs.

Background Our Embassy in Lima reports that Garcia may phone you to attempt to counter reports that Peru was unhelpful to us at the OAS Foreign Ministers meeting last Wednesday. Despite his protestations, Peru was in fact most unhelpful. There may be a disconnect between Garcia and his Foreign Ministry on this. Foreign Minister Larco Cox not only circulated a very weak resolution countering the Venezuelan proposal we favored, but also abstained on a key vote condemning Noriega. Once this amendment was passed on a close vote, he did agree to the overall resolution, as did every other OAS member. We expect that Garcia will also urge greater U.S. funding for anti-narcotics efforts, as well as express sympathy for the six American drug enforcement officials killed in a plane crash on May 20. The points to be made at Tab A mention our disappointment at the Peruvian abstention, but concentrate on the need for future positive OAS action. On drug issues, you should explain that although we already have a sizable effort in Peru, we are conducting a review of our international drug control policy which could include greater resources. RECOMMENDATION That you retilize approve the talking points to be made at Tab A in the event Career calls. Attachment Tab A Points To Be Made CC Vice President Chief of Staff CONE IDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL CONF IDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL POINTS TO BE MADE FOR TELEPHONE CALL TO PERUVIAN PRESIDENT GARCIA Please accept my condolences for deaths of the Peruvians in the plane crash on Saturday, including the director of the narcotic eradication program; I deeply as you know 00 Americans the loss also ofthe who died. I appreciate your support on anti-narcotics efforts; we know that you have an insurgency problem that complicates law enforcement efforts. anti-dring It is crucial that Peru continue its efforts both in drug interdiction and eradication; we will continue to study ways in which we can give you better support. I appreciated the chance to consult you before the OAS meeting and I was satisfied with the resolution. I was concerned, however, by the tone of your Foreign Minister's speech. It was the only substantive address and The United States. contained harsh criticism of my country. I was also surprised by Foreign Minister Larco Cox's abstention on the amendment to the resolution condemning Noriega--especially since you were so clear in your comments to me during our telephone conversation. zeit We need to cooperate now on encouraging the OAS mission to Panama to concentrate on securing Noriega's departure This is the only viable solution; we must not/allow him to engage in delaying tactics. When the OAS reconvenes on June 6, it will be a moment of decision for the hemisphere; we must be prepared to take additional measures if the crisis has not been resolved.

COMMENT: WE SUGGEST THAT, IF GARCIA MENTIONS THE OAS RESOLUTION ON PANAMA, THE PRESIDENT REITERATE THAT NORIEGA MUST GO AND THE BALL IS IN THE LATINOS' COURT. THIS IS A MAKE OR BREAK ISSUE FOR THE OAS AND WILL HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON OVERALL RELATIONS BETWEEN THE U.S. AND LATIN AMERICA. THE PRESIDENT MIGHT ALSO ASK GARCIA HOW PERU'S ARMED FORCES, PARTICULARLY THE ARMY, WHICH HAVE TRADITIONALLY CLOSE RELATIONS WITH THE PDF, MIGHT CONTRIBUTE TO NORIEGA'S DEPARTURE. 5. ON NARCOTICS, WE SUGGEST THE PRESIDENT TELL GARCIA THE USG IS CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN A MAJOR REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY WHICH COULD HAVE MAJOR IMPACT ON LEVELS OF U.S. SUPPORT FOR PERU, NOT ONLY FOR NARCOTICS CONTROL ACTIVITIES PER SE, BUT ALSO FOR RELATED MILITARY AND DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE. IN THIS REGARD, HOWEVER, IT IS CRUCIAL THAT THERE BE NO FLAGGING OF PERU'S LAUDABLE ANTI-NARCOTICS EFFORTS IN BOTH INTERDICTION AND ERADICATION. IN FACT, THE PRESIDENT MIGHT ADD, DRAMATIC ANTI-NARCOTICS MOVES BY THE GOP WOULD BE USEFUL IN PERSUADING THE U.S. CONGRESS TO AUTHORIZE MORE FUNDING. - 6. FYI. USG ANTI-NARCOTICS PROGRAMS IN PERU HAVE AVERAGED ABOUT USDOLS TEN MILLION A YEAR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, NOT INCLUDING THE HELICOPTERS AND FIXED WING AIRCRAFT WE HAVE LOANED.

PACELLI DAP SUBJECT: Draft White House Cable Summarizing the President's Telephone Conversations with Presidents Sanguinetti, Alfonsin, and Garcia Attached at Tab I is a draft cable which summarizes the President's telephone conversations on May 13, 1989 with Uruguayan President Sanguinetti, Argentine President Alfonsin, and Peruvian President Garcia. Per your instructions to the Sitroom, the memoranda of conversations have been boiled down to their essential points. I have marked the cable for distribution to the U.S. Ambassadors from the named countries, for our Ambassador to Paraguay, and for the head of the U.S. delegation to the inauguration of Paraguayan President Rodriguez (the President's daughter, Doro). You may want to give the cable wider distribution. I have seen the text of the President's interview aboard Air Force One in draft form. I have alerted State to be on the lookout for the final and they have agreed to send out a cable since the President referred to it in all three conversations. Bernie Aronson told me last night to expect a Roy-Scowcroft memorandum recommending a call to Salinas. We agreed that Mexico will be a tough nut to crack. Aronson believes we should keep their feet to the fire. I do not believe the President gains from tilting at windmills, but at this point a call could have value if nothing else than from recognizing Salinas as an important player in all this. He wouldn't welcome U.S. pressure, but he might be miffed from a hemispheric consultation that excludes him especially if it is seen as annointing Carlos Andres Perez as the preeminent Latin American leader.

BRIGGS DAP for FROM: WILLIAM T. PRYCE DAVID A. PACELLI DAP SUBJECT: Possible Call to the President from Peruvian President Garcia Peruvian President Garcia told former Assistant Secretary of State Abrams on May 18 that he was very pleased with his recent telephone conversation with the President and may call the President soon (Tab II). Garcia said he would raise two issues in any call he may make, Peru's performance in the recent OAS meeting and anti-narcotics cooperation. Garcia does not want the President to believe recent press reporting that Peru opposed the U.S. position in the OAS. In point of fact, Peru was decidedly unhelpful at the Foreign Ministers meeting last week. It presented a very weak resolution as a counter to the Venezuelan resolution which we favored. In his speech presenting the resolution--the only speech of the session--Foreign Minister Larco Cox made numerous gratuitous jibes at the United States and abstained on the amendment which specifically named Noriega. He subsequently agreed to the overall resolution, as did every OAS member. Our suggested talking points for the President would mention our disappointment at the Peruvian abstention, but concentrate on the need for future positive OAS action. On drug issues, our Ambassador believes Garcia does not grasp the limited availability of funding for U.S. anti-narcotics programs and that he will urge a greater U.S. effort. We expect Garcia would also mention the plane crash on May 20 that killed 9 people involved in the anti-narcotics effort, including 6 Americans. We believe the President should make known the dimensions of our anti-drug effort but tell Garcia that we are currently engaged in a major review of our drug control policy which could have a considerable impact on levels of U.S. support for Peru. The President should also express condolences about the Peruvians killed in the plane crash. David Miller concurs.

Background Our Embassy in Lima reports that Garcia may phone you to attempt to counter reports that Peru was unhelpful to us at the OAS Foreign Ministers meeting last Wednesday. Despite his protestations, Peru was in fact most unhelpful. There may be a disconnect between Garcia and his Foreign Ministry on this. Foreign Minister Larco Cox not only circulated a very weak resolution countering the Venezuelan proposal we favored, but also abstained on a key vote condemning Noriega. Once this amendment was passed on a close vote, he did agree to the overall resolution, as did every other OAS member. We expect that Garcia will also urge greater U.S. funding for anti-narcotics efforts, as well as express sympathy for the six American drug enforcement officials killed in a plane crash on May 20. The points to be made at Tab A mention our disappointment at the Peruvian abstention, but concentrate on the need for future positive OAS action. On drug issues, you should explain that although we already have a sizable effort in Peru, we are conducting a review of our international drug control policy which could include greater resources. RECOMMENDATION That you approve the points to be made at Tab A. Attachment Tab A Points To Be Made CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL CONF IDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL POINTS TO BE MADE FOR TELEPHONE CALL TO PERUVIAN PRESIDENT GARCIA -- Please accept my condolences for deaths of the Peruvians in the plane crash on Saturday, including the director of the narcotic eradication program; as you know, 6 Americans also died. -- I appreciate your support on anti-narcotics efforts; we know that you have an insurgency problem that complicates law enforcement efforts. -- It is crucial that Peru continue its efforts both in drug interdiction and eradication; we will continue to study ways in which we can give you better support. -- I appreciated the chance to consult you before the OAS meeting and I was satisfied with the resolution. -- I was concerned, however, by the tone of your Foreign Minister's speech. It was the only substantive address and contained harsh criticism of my country. -- I was also surprised by Foreign Minister Larco Cox's abstention on the amendment to the resolution condemning Noriega--especially since you were so clear in your comments to me during our telephone conversation. -- We need to cooperate now on encouraging the OAS mission to Panama to concentrate on securing Noriega's departure. -- This is the only viable solution; we must not allow him to engage in delaying tactics. -- When the OAS reconvenes on June 6, it will be a moment of decision for the hemisphere; we must be prepared to take additional measures if the crisis has not been resolved.

COMMENT: WE SUGGEST THAT, IF GARCIA MENTIONS THE OAS RESOLUTION ON PANAMA, THE PRESIDENT REITERATE THAT NORIEGA MUST GO AND THE BALL IS IN THE LATINOS' COURT. THIS IS A MAKE OR BREAK ISSUE FOR THE OAS AND WILL HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON OVERALL RELATIONS BETWEEN THE U.S. AND LATIN AMERICA. THE PRESIDENT MIGHT ALSO ASK GARCIA HOW PERU'S ARMED FORCES, PARTICULARLY THE ARMY, WHICH HAVE TRADITIONALLY CLOSE RELATIONS WITH THE PDF, MIGHT CONTRIBUTE TO NORIEGA'S DEPARTURE. - 5. ON NARCOTICS, WE SUGGEST THE PRESIDENT TELL GARCIA THE USG IS CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN A MAJOR REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY WHICH COULD HAVE MAJOR IMPACT ON LEVELS OF U.S. SUPPORT FOR PERU, NOT ONLY FOR NARCOTICS CONTROL ACTIVITIES PER SE, BUT ALSO FOR RELATED MILITARY AND DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE. IN THIS REGARD, HOWEVER, IT IS CRUCIAL THAT THERE BE NO FLAGGING OF PERU'S LAUDABLE ANTI-NARCOTICS EFFORTS IN BOTH INTERDICTION AND ERADICATION. IN FACT, THE PRESIDENT MIGHT ADD, DRAMATIC ANTI-NARCOTICS MOVES BY THE GOP WOULD BE USEFUL IN PERSUADING THE U.S. CONGRESS TO AUTHORIZE MORE FUNDING. - 6. FYI. USG ANTI-NARCOTICS PROGRAMS IN PERU HAVE AVERAGED ABOUT USDOLS TEN MILLION A YEAR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, NOT INCLUDING THE HELICOPTERS AND FIXED WING AIRCRAFT WE HAVE LOANED.
