FOR THE RECORD

[Content not related to drug policy snipped for brevity]

Peruvian Prime Minister Luis Solari blamed a growing drug trafficking
problem in his country on the U.S. suspension of an aerial interception
program two years ago, and called for the program to resume soon. The United
States halted the program in April 2001 after the Peruvian air force
accidentally shot down a small aircraft and killed a U.S. missionary and her
daughter. The White House plans to resume the aerial interdiction program in
a month or two in Colombia, according to a top official, but no date has
been set for Peru.
