U.S., Burma To Survey Opium Yields
AP-Dow Jones News Service
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. and Burma have
agreed to undertake their third survey
of opium yields in Burma, the U.S.
State Department said Tuesday.
Spokesman Nicholas Burns said the
survey will provide a useful way to measure
opium production in Burma.
He said the agreement doesn' involve
any assistance to Burma and does nothing to
take away U.S. concern about the
'negligent' Burmese attitude towards narcotics
smuggling.
