to counter the smuggling of cocaine into the United
States.
(2) According to the Drug Enforcement Agency,
an estimated 80 percent of the cocaine entering the
United States in the 1980s came through the Baha-
mas, whereas, according to the Office of National
Drug Control Policy, only an estimated 10 percent
comes through the Bahamas today.

700,000 pounds of marijuana have been seized in Op-

combined street value of approximately two trillion
dollars.
(4) The Army has provided military airlift to

Turks & Caicos to create an effective, reliable, and
