DRUG CONTROL: Status of Counternarcotics Efforts in Mexico

Abstract

I am pleased to be here today to discuss our work on the counternarcotics efforts of the United States and Mexico. Our most recent report on Mexico was issued in June 1996. My statement today will highlight the preliminary findings from our ongoing work to update that report as requested by Senator Grassley and this Subcommittee. I would like to discuss three broad topics: (1) the nature of the drug threat from Mexico and results of efforts to address this threat, (2) the planning and coordination of U.S. counternarcotics assistance to the Mexican military, and (3) the need to establish performance measures to assess the effectiveness of U.S. and Mexican counternarcotics efforts. Our final report on these matters will be issued shortly.
