Re.
Broman is not a drug enforcement official.  He is now a "consultant"
trying to put together business deals in Burma, through his company
Raintree Consulting.  As such he is dependent, as are all business 
people
in SLORC's Burma,on the good will of the generals.  Are his SLORC-
friendly
comments a coincidence?

Barry Broman is the former Rangoon station chief of the CIA and as such 
he was in charge of the CIA's anti-narcotics work in Rangoon, which 
often was at loggerheads with official US drug policy as expressed by 
the State Department. Rangoon was Broman's retirement posting after 
having spent years doing clandestine work in Cambodia.
