THE 1989 NEBRASKA STATE FAIR Sept. 1 -10/NebraskaSlate Fair Park/Um*#ln $7.9 billion war plan unveiled WASHINGTON - President George Bush, calling drugs “the gravest domestic threat facing our nation,” Tuesday night proposed a $7.9 billion war on narcotics empha sizing harsher penalties for users and more money for prisons, treatment programs and education. Bush w anted Latin American drug lords that “the rules have changed" and for the first time pledged U.S. military help to any government that requests it. “Drugs are sapping our strength as a nation,” the president said in his first nationally televised address from the Oval Office. He punctuated his address by displaying a plastic bag of crack cocaine seized across the street from the White House. To attack cocaine at its source, Bush proposed a four-fold increase in the amount of military and law en forcement aid for Colombia, Bolivia and Peru, to $261.2 million in 1990. He called it the downpayment on a $2 billion, five-year program for the Andean region, with allocations ear marked on the basis of progress in eradicating drugs. To help offset the cost of his pro gram, Bush proposed diverting $751 million from other areas, including juvenile justice, housing, immigra tion and economic development pro grams. “We can pay for this fight again , drugs without raising taxes or 2 to ihc budget deficit,” He^ i ng He singled out for praise Preside, Virgilio Barco of Colombia, vvhe drug barons have declared war on th government “We have a respond bility not to leave our brave friends n Colombia to fight alone,” Bush Said Bush held up the bag of cocaine and said it was as “innocent looking as candy.” But the president added “If we fight this war as a divided nation, then the war is lost. But if we face this evil as a nation united this will be nothing but a handful of use less chemicals.” Colombian coke labs ‘virtually paralyzed’ BOGOTA, Colombia - Washing ton Tuesday delivered five helicop ters to help the Colombian govern ment continue to fight the drug lords’ violent grip on the country. They have apparently succeeded in one respect. A police source said the government’s 2-wcck-old crack down on traffickers has virtually paralyzed the nation’s cocaine-pro ducing laboratories. A newspaper predicted rising prices and a shortage of the coveted drug in the United Slates. The United States delivered five UH-1H “Huey” transport helicop ters, modified versions of the combat choppers that gained prominence during the Vietnam war. They arrived in a huge C-5 trans port plane at Bogota’s El Dorado air port, the last of the big-ticket items in President Bush’s S65 million pack age to help the government fight its drug war. Also Tuesday, two gunmen killed an army colonel’s wife at a supermar ket. A man suspected of being the financial wizard for Colombia’s co caine cartel faced a deadline Wednesday for appealing hiscxtradi tion to the United States.
