Excess Defense Articles: Colombia

The State Department's April 2002 FY2003 Congressional Budget Justification for Foreign Operations reported that transfer of grant Excess Defense Articles to Colombia "continues our primary foreign policy objectives of fighting drugs and supporting the ongoing peace negotiations between the Government of Colombia and the insurgents. In addition, receipt of grant EDA will enable Colombian security forces to improve protection of human rights and create a climate of stability conducive to trade, investment, and economic development."1

The February 2005 request for 2006 states that "Transfer of grant EDA to Colombia supports our primary foreign policy objectives of fighting drugs and terrorism." [10]
