Despite a recommended cut of $135 million to specific counternarcotics Pentagon programs, Sheridan said the Pentagon is unswerving in its determination to dismantle cocaine cartels. 1 Lee P. Brown, the Clinton administration's top antidrug policymaker, applauded the Pentagon's strategy. He told the panel that President Clinton is committed to "strengthening the ability of our partners to carry out effective counternarcotics programs by themselves. "We want in particular to assist countries that have the political will to fight the drug trade. Our specific programs with these countries are aimed at strengthening their judicial systems, law enforcement and penal institutions, and their control of money laundering and precursor and precursor chemicals." Both Sheridan and Brown agreed that in times of reduced budgets "it makes sense to reduce our relying on random air and sea patrols and to extend interdiction operations deeper into the source countries. "This strategy" Brown said, "makes better use of available intelligence and cooperation with host governments." But he added "it is important to remember that we have not dismantled our interdiction capability in the transit zones." Brown said the new strategy, announced in February, calls for a reduction, but not the abolition, of the tools needed to interdict illegal drugs in transit regions. Sheridan said the Pentagon will continue to work with U.S. domestic law enforcement agencies at the 2,000-mile border with Mexico. NNNN .
