Re "To Colombians, Drug War Is Toxic Enemy" (front page, May
1):
The Clinton administration is proposing a stepped-up program to
fumigate Colombian drug crops as part of a $1.6 billion emergency aid
package.
But even now critics say the spraying is hurting people's health and
their food crops. This means that a quarter of a century later we are
again financing the spraying of herbicides on people and their land in
the name of war.
