DRUG AID AT HOME
To the Editor:
Re "Bush Should Start Over in Colombia," by Paul Wellstone (Op- Ed, Dec. 26):
Senator Wellstone is correct in declaring that "strong human rights
conditions" be maintained in Colombia as a requirement for its receiving
American drug-war aid.
But some American drug-related human rights also need more support. Drug
addicts are mentally and physically ill, but they do not always receive
treatment.
