August 20, 1990: The
US House of Representatives Committee on Government Operations releases
a report on the results of Operation Snowcap, the Reagan-Bush administration
program aimed at stopping the flow of drugs into the United States at their
source. Snowcap's goal had been to eliminate coca crops, cocaine
processing laboratories, clandestine landing strips, and other trafficking
operations in the coca producing countries of South America. The
report found that less than one percent of the region's cocaine had been
destroyed by this campaign and that authorities in Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia
were deeply involved in narcotics trafficking.
