On the recordMarch 13, 1997
Mr. Speaker, I think that everybody here understands that today in our history the United States has a supply of drugs that is cheaper, more potent and more available than any time in our history. One of the primary reasons why that is so is because the Government of Mexico has not been fully cooperating with the United States in the war on drugs. It is by no means the only reason why we have this problem. I think up front we need to say that President Zedillo has been cooperating, he personally has been, and some of the top people in his administration have been cooperating. They have been encouraging money laundering laws to be established, they have been doing things recently to vet the situation there for their law enforcement community to get rid of the corruption that is rampant. But the truth of the matter is that Mexico is not fully cooperating, which is what the certification laws require.
