recapitalization and investment, including the procurement of

PART III--AIR FORCE CONVEYANCES

At the appropriate place, insert the following:
(a) Findings.--
(1) According to the Department of State, drug trafficking
organizations shipped approximately nine tones of cocaine to
the United States through the Dominican Republic in 2004, and
are increasingly using small, high-speed watercraft.
(2) Drug traffickers use the Caribbean corridor to smuggle
narcotics to the United States via Puerto Rico and the
Dominican Republic. This route is ideal for drug trafficking
because of its geographic expanse, numerous law enforcement
jurisdictions and fragmented investigative efforts.
(3) The tethered aerostat system in Lajas, Puerto Rico
contributes to deterring and detecting smugglers moving
illicit drugs into Puerto Rico. The aerostat's range and
operational capabilities allow it to provide surveillance
coverage of the eastern Caribbean corridor and the strategic
waterway between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic,
known a the Mona Passage.
(4) Including maritime radar on the Lajas aerostat will
expand its ability to detect suspicious vessels in the
eastern Caribbean corridor.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--Given the above findings, it is
the sense of the Senate that--

[[Page S10891]]

(1) Congress and the Department of Defense fully fund the
Counter-Drug Tethered Aerostat program.
(2) Department of Defense install maritime radar on the
Lajas, Puerto Rico aerostat.
