Good morning fellow Senator Cesar Salazar, corresponding panel delegates, honorable chair, I'll permit myself to start by thanking you all for being here, for assisting to today's debate, if not previously said today's topic is Drug Trafficking. Talking about Drug Trafficking in a worldwide matter, Mexico's name always comes up to stand tall. We have stood up from a corrupt system, from anonparticipant country, from the essence of a third world country to be the leading power and threat to the drug cartels and organized crime in Latin America, that's a lie, in the world. I am Senator Luis Motta and I'll mainly be representing the government today.

During our Mr.President's current candidacy we have seen a change in Mexico, we have taken the firsts steps into making ourcountry a a new one. I would like to mention and base this speech on our Mr.President’s last “Dialogue for Security” meeting he had with each respective party president, some mentioned:
* Beatriz Paredes, president of the National Executive Committee for the institutional Revolutionary Party. (PRI)
* Cesar Nava, president of the Executive Committee for the National Action Party. (PAN)
*Jesus Ortega, president of the National Executive Committee for the Part of the Democratic Revolution. (PRD)
* Among others from PV, Convergence, PT, and New Alliance Party, etc.
From the beginning of the Drug War, we have had 6 public meetings and 1 private with nongovernamental organizations, industries, religious organizations, the media, experts on the topic as well as neighboringcountries to truly agree that we all must joing forces against this common enemy.

In this meetings we have all agreed from enforcing our social tissue, improving our education system and opportunities, aswell as generating new jobs so that young civilians without job opportunities will not be recluted by drug cartels as a “professional career, to even more extensive ways such as having theSecretary of Communication and Transport oppress illegal repeaters, reform laws in all ways possible to support national security and make a strict punishment for whoever demands it.
We’ve achieved in making the government of the United States of America see the intensity of this problem, for both them, recieving 90% of the drugs trafficked through Mexico, and us, suffering the effect of the sale oftheir weapondry through american drug cartels, so to speak the black market, and the use of those weapons through our own drug cartels.

Prior to Calderon, Ex-President Fox amde a temporary sense of improved citizenship security, now, Calderon improves that sense citizenship and uses all the needs possible to make Mexico a secure country. In 2006, Calderon deployed thirty-six thousand troops towork with the federal police, these forces gather intelligence, coduct raids and interrogate suspects, re-estating that the military is a well-trained and highly disciplined form of way to attack the drug cartels.

Naming other successful security tactics the ruling government has promised and accomplished include:
* Extraditions- Mexico got its hand on eighty-three alleged criminals,including the head of the Gulf Cartel. Also naming another high powered drug civilian “The Barbie”. This marks an increase of sixty-three extraditions.
* Eradication and interdiction- Mexico intensified the efforts to eradicate marijuana, dismantle methamphetamine labs and intercept cocaine shipments. Since 2002 the government has dismantled 26 labs and intercepted more than 900 pounds of cocainein a month, count that amount times 24 months.
* Combination of federal security forces- Calderon made a constitutional reform that could contemporary merge the PFP and the AFI, one mantaining public order and the other gathering intelligence for the government and other nongovernamental organizations.
* Public Security Reforms- We proposed a package of public security reforms (StratFor)...
