While it’s not quite the title I’d have chosen, I’m looking forward to testifying in Congress again at 11:00 Eastern on Thursday, this time in a hearing of the House of Representatives’ Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere about the State Department’s counter-drug and law enforcement programs.

This is not a very polarizing issue—neither side has found a silver bullet solution to drug trafficking and organized crime in the region—so I’m hoping for some constructive exchanges with members from both parties.

My written testimony is here, on the hearing repository page. I finished it at 2:00 this morning—there’s never a lot of advance prep time to write these—but hopefully it doesn’t read like that.

The hearing will be on Youtube here.
