COLOMBIA NEEDS U.S. AID

Blood is being shed in Colombia as a result of terrorist acts against its
innocent citizens. These criminal acts are not only directed against
Colombians but also against innocent members of the international community.

Colombians are not looking for military intervention by the United States
to fight their war. They need military hardware, economic and technological
assistance to rout the narco terrorists and return Colombia to peace and
prosperity.

As the most powerful nation in the world, the United States cannot be
indifferent to this most urgent cause by one of our friends.
