Secretary Christopher should forcefully urge the Mexican Government to cooperate with United States requests for extraditions of Mexican narcotics traffickers and other criminals who have committed heinous acts of violence in the United States. It is a fact that to date. Mexico still has not extradited a single Mexican national convicted of drug trafficking in the United States. At the Banking Committees recent hearing. perhaps the most compelling. and disturbing testimony came from T. J. Bonner. a border patrol agent. Mr. Bonner testified about his first hand views of life on the firing lines in this war on drugs. He also provided a disturbing account of the January 1996 killing of Border Patrol Agent Jefferson Barr. Mr. Barr was shot and killed while intercepting a group of Mexican drug smugglers in Eagle Pass.
