On the recordSeptember 26, 1996
Colombian President Ernesto Samper has been commended worldwide for presenting a new antinarcotics strategy to the United Nations. Politicians all over the world are singing his praises. I am one politician that does not. Last week, 9 pounds of heroin were found on President Samper's private plane. He says, ``I know nothing.'' Reports say the drug lords financed his presidential campaign to the tune of $6 million. President Samper says, ``I know nothing.'' The truth is, President Samper is more forgetful than Sergeant Shultz, and it does not take Chief Inspector Clouseau to figure this out. When we can find heroin and cocaine as easy as Tylenol on the streets of America, the President of Colombia must be drafting the antinarcotics strategy for the world, and we are paying the piper. If he is Serpico, I am the Jolly Green Giant. I yield back the balance of all addiction in this country.
