    Statement on Action Against International Drug Trafficking
    October 11, 1996

        I want to congratulate Attorney General Reno, Treasury Secretary
    Rubin, their crime fighting teams, and all law enforcement officers who
    worked to ensure the breakup of another notorious international drug
    ring through Operation Global S.E.A. Building on the success of this
    May's Operation Zorro II, the breakup of this drug network marks another
    milestone in our effort to cripple major international drug trafficking
    cartels.
        I want to commend the unprecedented cooperation between frontline
    law enforcement agencies on the Federal, State, and local levels that
    brought down this narcotic network. My administration will continue to
    work with determination to track down and convict those who would
    threaten our communities and our children.
