Drug summit may revive 'net'
WASHINGTON — President Bush may use the four-nation drug summit to revive the idea of using U.S. military forces to cast a "radar net" over Colombia to track cocaine-carrying aircraft, a senior adviser said yesterday.
The Associated Press
Brent Scowcroft, Bush's national security adviser, said the idea was shelved temporarily because Colombian officials balked last year at news reports that the United States was considering a naval blockade of their ports.
Swoffcroft said that the plan probably would not win approval before tomorrow's summit but that the idea bad merit.
Another administration official, however, said the subject was not a significant agenda item.
Bush, after a pre-dawn flight from Washington tomorrow, will join the leaders of Colombia, Bolivia and Peru in the coastal resort of Cartagena for six hours of talks on the drug war.
The summit site, at a heavily guarded naval base isolated on a peninsula, was selected to provide a safe nation torn by drug-related violence.
zens in the drug capital of Medellin, Colombia, to protest Bush's visit. They were identified as David Kent, a teacher from Indianapolis, and James Donnelly, employed by a company that manufactures hydraulic equipment.
Underscoring the hazards, police reported yesterday that left guerrillas had kidnapped two U.S. citi-
To bolster security, two U.S. warships have been deployed in the Caribbean, along with a Colombian escort ship.
Acknowledging risks involved in the trip, Scrowcraft said, "It's an unusual situation because there are in Colombia these guerrilla bands, terrorist bands with access to funds to purchase . . . any kinds of arms, and so naturally there are unusual circumstances.
"All the agencies involved in presidential security are comfortable with the arrangements."
In preparation for the summit, Bush called in senior advisers in the drug war, including Attorney General Dick Thornburgh; drug policy director William Bennett; CIA Director William Webster; Drug Enforcement Administration Director John Lawn; Gen. Colin Powell, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Trade Representative Carla Hills and Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan.
Colombian authorities said about 5,000 security agents would be on hand to protect Bush at the summit. To bolster security, two U.S. warships have been deployed in the Caribbean, along with a Colombian escort ship.
Bush also signed a new United Nations compact aimed at helping curb international drug traffic and urged other nations to do the same.
The United States is the fifth of 76 nations to ratify the agreement, the U.N. Convention Against Illegal Traffic in Narcotic Drugs, which calls upon all nations to make illegal the production, cultivation and transportation of narcotics and other dangerous drugs.
It also calls for tighter controls on chemicals used in drug production and sets up guidelines for extraditing drug offenders, seizing drug-tainted assets and curbing money laundering.
Islands are drug gateways to U.S.
Shortages of enforcement money and personnel get much of the blame for the situation.
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Drug traffickers have turned U.S.-controlled Pacific islands into thriving gateways to the United States for heroin from Asia's Golden Triangle, with federal interdiction virtually non-existent, according to an unpublished government document and interviews with officials.
Heroin, marijuana and other drugs from Asia and southwest Pacific nations are even sent from the islands into the United States through the U.S. Postal Service, according to an internal report to Interior Secretary Manuel Lujan.
Only one Drug Enforcement Administration agent is responsible for the four Pacific jurisdictions
In American Samoa, for example, commercial fishing boats bring in marijuana and heroin from Australia and other Pacific nations for mailing to U.S. residents, the report says.
American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, Palau and Guam.
"There is a need for additional agents," the report says.
The Interior report, obtained this week under the Freedom of Information Act, identified island jurisdictions as major concerns with regard to the illegal fishing in the Maldives Islands in the Caribbean were cited along with the Pacific area.
American Samoa, Guam and the Virgin Islands are U.S. territories; the northern Marianas and Palau have compacts of free association with the United States that include Interior Department assistance.

"Nobody knows how much but from our perspective it's a serious problem," said Larry L. Morgan, director of legislative and public affairs for Interior's territorial and international affairs branch. He said there was no estimate on the amount of drugs smuggled through the islands.
one, based in Guam, said he believed a significant dent was made late last year in heroin traffic through Palau and Guam.
A spokesman for the drug enforcement agency, Ralph Lochridge, said the area was unlikely to get additional DEA personnel soon because of the border with South America and Mexico, had been deemed as higher priorities.
DEA officials concurred that the ties came area was ripe for smuggling although years earlier.
"If you only have so many bodies, it's a matter of priorities — you've got to get the most bang for your buck," said Lochridge, who is based in Los Angeles, the company that supervises Guam. "Obviously if we had more agents, we'd increase our staffing everywhere."
Money for drug enforcement in the four Pacific jurisdictions was cut by nearly $1 million in the drug law passed by Congress in 1988. The cuts, according to the Interior report, have hampered efforts by local governments to carry out anti-drug activities called for by Congress just two years earlier.
