Identifies four steps which can encourage and strengthen anti-narcotics efforts in the region, viz. stronger Caribbean anti-narcotics agreements with the United States and international agencies and networks; the creation of drug enforcement units and more professional law enforcement institutions; suppression of money-laundering activities; and foreign aid and investment to bolster Caribbean economies. 3/7/00 M2LMGR A 45085 45085
