    SUMMARY
    ---------

    ¶1.  (SBU) Hostile crowds and random gunshots have not stopped
    eradication efforts in Mazamari and the Huallaga in August.
    Eradication continues despite having discovered improvised
    explosive devices in the fields, rigged to explode when a
    plant is uprooted.  As of August 31, CORAH has eradicated a
    total of 5,674 hectares, and the 8,000-hectare annual goal
    now looks within reach.  DIRANDRO is working out of the
    NAS-constructed police base in Palmapampa to destroy
    cocaine-base laboratories and seize precursor chemicals and
    coca leaf in the Apurimac and Ene Valleys.  The operation has
    driven down the price of coca leaf and increased the
    cost--and scarcity--of chemicals.  USAID and CORAH are
    developing a plan to educate farmers on the negative impact
    growing coca has on their families. The Constitutional
    Tribunal is expected to rule on the legality of the regional
    coca ordinances in September; meanwhile, the new coca law the
    GOP sent to Congress is stalled for the foreseeable future.
    The new chemical control law remains in limbo due to GOP
    gridlock.  NAS Aviation provided crucial support after an
    airliner crashed near Pucallpa Airport.  The Manifest Review
    Unit in Callao is now proving its worth in cocaine seizures
    and intelligence.  The final workshop on "Community Anti-Drug
    Coalitions" trained NGOs in a new approach to community
    intervention, evaluation, and sustainability.  Meetings with
    the Ministry of Education suggest a possible revival of a now
    dormant Culture-of-Lawfulness initiative.  (END SUMMARY)

    SECURITY INCIDENTS DURING ERADICATION IN SANTA LUCIA
    --------------------------------------------- --------

    ¶2.  (C) On August 1 during eradication operations at Santa
    Rosa de Mishollo, home territory of cocalero leader Nancy
    Obregon, DIRANDRO security forces accidentally wounded a
    17-year-old boy.  The boy was flown by helicopter for medical
    attention and later taken home.  In another incident on
    August 4, shots were fired into the CORAH/DIRANDRO camp.  No
    one was hurt.  The PNP Special Operations Group (GOES)
    arrested several people and seized some guns.  Between August
    27-31, a total of 9 improvised explosive devices (IED) were
    found in fields during eradication operations in the Santa
    Rosa area near Santa Lucia.  The IEDs were placed at the root
    of coca plants.  A CORAH worker was hit and hospitalized when
    he triggered an IED; his injures were not life threatening.
    The rest of the devices were located and disarmed.  Plans are
    under way to use trained explosive-sniffing dogs to clear the
    areas where CORAH plans to work. (See Ref A.)

    -------------------
    ERADICATION UPDATE
    -------------------

    ¶3.  (U) In the first eight months of 2005, CORAH eradicated
    5,674 hectares of coca.  Presently, CORAH is eradicating an
    averaging of 50 hectares a day in areas near Santa Lucia and
    Mazamari.  Operations included communities in the San Martin
    and Huanuco departments that had not complied with their
    alternative development agreements with USAID.  NAS and USAID
    are coordinating closely on increasing the number of brigades
    used for locating, measuring, and eradicating coca in
    alternative development areas.

    --------------------------------------------- ---
    POLICE: NEW RESOLVE, NEW TACTICS, NEW SUCCESSES
    --------------------------------------------- ---

    ¶4.  (SBU) In May 2005, approximately 200 new police graduated
    from the NAS-sponsored Basic Training Academies in Santa
    Lucia and Mazamari.  These new police were assigned to the
    Special Operations Unit to support eradication, cocaine
    laboratory destruction, and vehicle search operations.
    DIRANDRO's Special Operations Units confronted unruly mobs
    and pacified hostile areas in the Upper Huallaga Valley
    (Pizana, Polvora and Santa Rosa) to allow eradication to
    occur.  Up to 300 police have been deployed to protect
    eradication workers and helicopter operations.  As a result,
    the rate of coca eradication increased substantially and NAS
    helicopters operated without incidents.  The PNP also
    destroyed 88 cocaine-base laboratories in the Monzon and
    Upper Huallaga.  This is in stark contrast to past when
    eradication operations were suspended due to strong local
    resistance and an inadequate response by the PNP.
    ¶5.  (SBU) At NAS's suggestion, DIRANDRO is now using the
    price of an arroba (11.5 kg) of coca to trigger cocaine-base
    laboratory interdiction operations.  Interdiction drives down
    the price. The Police return to zones when arroba price rises
    again.  In early August, the price of an arroba of coca
    dropped from 120 to 60 Soles after the PNP began operations
    in the Apurimac and Ene River Valleys (VRAE).  On August 10,
    after a two-week lull in interdiction activities, an arroba
    rose to 90 Soles.  The next day, DIRANDRO started
    interdiction operations again, seizing approximately 200
    kilos of cocaine base.  DIRANDRO also destroyed 208
    cocaine-base laboratories and tons of precursor chemicals and
    coca leaves, causing a loss to the laboratory operators of
    the equivalent of US$1.4 million and the possible production
    of 3.9 tons of cocaine base.

    ¶6.  (SBU) With support from NAS, DIRANDRO formed a Mobile
    Road Interdiction Group, which is using a gamma-ray machine
    to inspect vehicles transiting through the Ayacucho area.  On
    August 1-8, this group arrested 4 traffickers and seized more
    than 150 kilos of chemicals, three vehicles, and a building.
    These seizures alone are valued at USD 137,000.  The
    activities of this group have forced drug traffickers to
    transport chemicals via mules on back roads and via rivers,
    causing the price of precursor chemicals to double.

    ------------------------------------------
    ICT CONDUCTING SURVEY ON COCA CULTIVATION
    ------------------------------------------

    ¶7.  (U) NAS has advised the Institute for Tropical Crops
    (ICT) and CADA that they must survey farmers who are
    receiving technical assistance in cacao management.  The
    survey will provide baseline information to ensure that the
    farmers are eliminating their coca.  The survey will take
    three months to complete.

    --------------------------------------------- -----
    ERADICATION: NEW PUBLIC RELATIONS MESSAGE PLANNED
    --------------------------------------------- -----

    ¶8.  (U) Discussions continue with USAID and CORAH about a
    plan to educate farmers on the negative consequences for
    their families of growing coca.  The theme of this plan is
    "Familia, Si" (Family, Yes).

    --------------------------------------------- ---
    WAITING FOR COURT RULING ON REGIONAL ORDINANCES
    --------------------------------------------- ---

    ¶9.  (U)  Peru's Constitutional Tribunal has been asked to
    rule on the constitutionality of ordinances promulgated by
    three regional governments (Cusco, Puno, and Huanuco) that
    would legalize coca (Refs B through F).

    ------------------------------------------
    PRECURSOR CHEMICAL CONTROL LAW LANGUISHES
    ------------------------------------------

    ¶10.  (SBU) Progress has stalled within the GOP to implement
    the much-touted chemical-control law.  The initial concept
    was to place the data collection function in the Ministry of
    Production (MinPro).  However, as the MinPro does not have an
    appropriate, networked data collection system, it would have
    to be built, a costly project.  A USG-funded NGO came up with
    a better option--to use the Peruvian tax collection agency
    (SUNAT) to collect and distribute the data, since it has the
    technical capability and an extensive network.  The challenge
    is bringing MinPro and SUNAT together.  MinPro wants to
    maintain control over the information system.

    NAS AVIATION AIDS VICTIMS OF PLANE CRASH IN PUCALLPA
    --------------------------------------------- --------

    ¶11.  (U) On the afternoon of August 23, a Boeing 737-200
    crashed during a storm about 4.4 miles short of the runway at
    the Pucallpa airport.  NAS flight crews, firemen, and medics
    from the NAS Main Operating Base (MOB) in Pucallpa were
    immediately mobilized to assist local authorities.  The
    aircraft (flight 204 of TANS airline, operated by the
    Peruvian Air Force) broke in two when it crashed. The NAS
    Forward Coordinator sent two helicopters to the crash site to
    help evacuate the survivors to local hospitals and transport
    the dead.  (NOTE: 45 people died and 53 were injured.  3
    Americans died, 7 survived.  No USG employees or contractors
    were aboard the flight.) The NAS helicopters, flown by US and
    PNP pilots and crews, operated at the crash site at night
    using night-vision equipment.  NAS also provided logistical
    support and a communications center for the Embassy response
    effort as well as for the NTSB investigators and Peruvian
    civil aviation authorities.  The following day, NAS personnel
    located the aircra
    ft voice recorder.

    ----------------------
    BEECH 1900 D AIRCRAFT
    ----------------------

    ¶12.  (U) NAS pilots completed flight training for the Beech
    1900 D aircraft on August 28.  On September 1, the aircraft
    will be flown to Air Wing (INL/A) in Florida for further crew
    training and preparation for entry into Peru on September 16.

    ------------------------------------------
    DRUG SEIZURES INCREASE AT PERU'S SEAPORTS
    ------------------------------------------

    ¶13.  (SBU) On August 24, the PNP seized almost 479 kg of
    cocaine from a container at a terminal in the Port of Callao
    through manifest/cargo review and analysis by the NAS/DEA
    Manifest Review Unit (MRU).  Seven people from Mexico and
    Peru were arrested.  Contact information for people in
    Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia was also seized.  The 479
    kg were being transported via a Chilean ship destined for
    Guanajuato, Mexico via the Mexican port of Manzanillo.  The
    95 cocaine packages, each package weighing 5.4 kg, were found
    in plastic barrels filled with frozen maracuya (passion
    fruit) pulp.  Based on this seizure, another container from
    the same company/shippers and with the same product is now
    detained at Callao.

    ¶14.  (C) This seizure illustrates the value of systemized
    analysis of cargo, and the importance of conducting joint
    police and customs information analysis and follow-on
    operations.  The Peruvian private business sector, including
    exporters, agents, and managers of container stations, know
    about the MRU and are now providing over 100 intelligence
    leads per month.  An MRU is now being planned for Paita
    (Peru's second leading port after Callao), in light of the
    success in Callao.  NAS is currently negotiating with
    SUNAT-Customs on next steps.

    --------------------------------------------- ------
    PREPARING TO LAUNCH COMMUNITY ANTI-DRUG COALITIONS
    --------------------------------------------- ------

    ¶15.  (U) On August 15-19, the U.S.-based Community Anti-Drug
    Coalitions of America (CADCA) conducted a two-day workshop
    followed by three days of technical assistance.  Six NGOs
    were selected to participate in this final training session,
    which focused on community interventions, evaluation, and
    sustainability.  The NGOs and CADCA discussed the cultural
    and social hurdles that must be overcome to have successful
    coalitions.  The technical assistance involved visits to the
    coalition districts to speak with community leaders and to
    understand the types of community resources available to the
    NGO coalition teams.  The coalitions will start on October 1,
    along with other demand reduction programs.

    ¶16.  (U) The coalition effort will include an evaluation team
    and a communications team.  The evaluation team will design
    instruments to measure regularly the effectiveness of
    individual activities and the overall impact of the
    coalitions' efforts.  All coalitions will be evaluated using
    the same criteria and the same instruments by this external
    team.  The communications team will work with the coalition
    teams to develop social marketing campaigns that have a
    consistent message.  Coalition communication activities will
    consist of street fairs, local radio broadcasts, posters,
    personal outreach, parades, etc., taking into account a
    functional illiteracy rate of 80 per cent.

    ¶17.  (U) While Peru is a developing country with a poverty
    rate of over 50 per cent, the public will to combat illegal
    drugs is already strong.  Many Lima communities have
    organized to fight crime, clean up neighborhoods, and take
    drug dealers off the streets.  All these efforts contribute
    directly to reducing drug consumption.  One goal of the
    coalitions will be to bring together and foster cooperation
    among these disparate groups.

    -------------------------------------
    CULTURE OF LAWFULNESS PLOUGHS AHEAD
    -------------------------------------

    ¶18.  (U) The Culture of Lawfulness (COL) program (started in
    2003) had some early successes in training teachers for a
    one-year COL course for first-year high school students. It
    became quickly apparent that the Ministry of Education could
    not provide much needed resources for the program.  So far,
    70 teachers have been trained to teach COL. One significant
    achievement was assisting the GOP in changing the national
    school curriculum to include COL (called Ethics, Values, and
    Citizenship by the GOP).  NAS Program officers met with the
    Vice-Minister of Education, Idel Vexler, to discuss the
    future of the program.  Vexler was supportive of the program,
    but said it needed to be more fully integrated into the
    curriculum to achieve sustainability.  NAS will meet with
    ministry officials in the coming months to determine how NAS
    can support further development of COL.
