On the recordMarch 3, 1998
The purpose of these two joint resolutions is to alter the course of our engagement in the drug war, principally as it relates to Mexico. Instead of certifying and saying, ``Here is a message of victory to the two peoples of the two Nations,'' it decertifies with a national security waiver and calls it like it is and refocuses our Governments and our people in a combined effort to win this battle and not lose it--to win it for the millions of children that are suffering, because we are losing it.
