I can present this as an example of the type of cooperation the Mexicans are always willing to afford on projects of such importance. Assistant Treasury Secretary Eugene T. Rossides. head of Operation Intercept. told a Senate committee yesterday that the same airborne sensors used to find enemy troops in Vietnam were being adapted to detect fields of marihuana and poppies. the base for heroin. Eventually the sensors might be used at border crossings to detect travelers with the narcotics. He said the United States was offering Mexico planes and the sensor devices to help it detect the fields as well as a chemical spray that makes marihuana very bitter when smoked. This equipment has already been carefully tested for agricultural purposes.
