nd (g)
1. (C) I am writing again in support of the following two
1206 funding proposals that relate to El Salvador. The two
proposals for 1206 funding include:
2. (C) Four High Speed Interceptor Patrol Craft: Providing
four high speed Interceptor Patrol Craft (along with trailer
and vehicle to move them overland, repair parts and support,
and training and operations maintenance) will give the
Salvadoran Navy the capacity to interdict illicit trafficking
routes at sea, preventing the exploitation of these routes by
terrorists and human traffickers destined for the U.S.
3. (C) Equipping Counterterrorism (CT) Forces: Providing
specific equipment and training based on recent assessment of
current ESAF CT forces capabilities will enable the
Salvadoran CT forces to better combat terrorists. This will
contribute to the forward defense of the U.S. homeland by
interdicting terrorists before they reach U.S. territory.
4. (C) COMMENT: The Interceptor Patrol Craft will be
especially critical for countering illicit trafficking along
the coastline of El Salvador, an area that has recently seen
a dramatic rise in illicit activities and remains highly
vulnerable without increased resources and capabilities for
the Salvadoran Navy.
