Clinton Certifies Mexico as Cooperative in Effort to Stem the Drug Trade; House Motion to Decertify Fails by Vote of 54–45

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  13 February 2009

Extract

Acting on a recommendation from Secretary of State Albright, President Clinton today sent to the Congress his annual list of those major illicit drug-producing and drug-transit countries that have been certified as either cooperating fully with the United States or taking adequate steps on their own in the fight against drugs. We can only successfully meet the transnational threat of drugs in cooperation and partnership with other nations, President Clinton said. Building on our efforts at home in reducing the demand for drugs, I want to work with our increasingly committed partners in the hemisphere and around the world to stem the supply.
