  Recent U.S. cooperation with the Government of Mexico has led to a substantial disruption of illegal drug flow into the United States. Since taking office in December, Mexican President Felipe Calderon has deployed thousands of Federal troops in an aggressive crackdown on drug trafficking and related violence along the border. More than 25,000 Mexican troops have participated in operations in over a dozen states. The Merida Initiative, the Administration's plan to reduce drug trafficking and related violence is currently before the U.S. Congress. Listen to remarks from Director Walters and Acting DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart regarding this important effort.
