They have detected 132 stashhouses. warehouses for storage of drugs. ranging in size from modest huts to plush haciendas. And they have charted 472 clandestine air strips. north and south of the U.S.-Mexican border. One might be tempted to suggest building a high wall between the U.S. and Mexico with the aim of solving the drug and immigration problems at one fell swoop. But this is hardly practical along a 2.000mile border and not particularly desirable either. But it is obvious to me that we must commit more resources to that trouble spotmore Customs agents. more border patrolmen. more immigration officers. And those agents must have stateoftheart technology with which to match wits with narcotics smugglers. One thing they need expeditiously is more detection aircraft and improved radar.
