U.S. Congressional hearing on aid to Peru

On the 12th a hearing was held in Congress in which the Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics Matters, Melvin Levitsky, spoke. His report highlighted the efforts and progress made by the government of Peru in this regard, with emphasis on the internal war situation in the country and its importance for U.S. anti-drug policy. The Congressional response was to establish a series of precise conditions for granting aid gradually, as conditions are met.
