    . High-Ranking Colombian Drug Traffickers Plead Guilty to Cocaine Charges The United States Government strongly condemns the kidnapping and murder of Afro-Colombian leader Orlando Valencia.

The United States Government urges the Colombian Government to do its utmost to investigate this crime, arrest the perpetrators, and ensure that justice is served.

    QUOTE

      "...those who believe that supply control is inevitably doomed to failure, those who have made their reputation over the years, saying that we ought to forget about trying to protect our citizens and live with the consequences of substance abuse are wrong. Now, the empirical data is we can both control and reduce demand and we can control and reduce supply. The excuses for not trying are gone. The excuses for not following through are no longer pertinent."

    ONDCP Director John Walters
