The State Department's April  2002 Congressional Budget Justification for Foreign Operations reported that Excess Defense Articles "boats and International Military Education and Training (IMET) will significantly boost the GDF Coast Guard’s ability to interdict narcotics trafficking, as well as promote civil affairs and improve crisis management."¹ Similar language has appeared in subsequent requests.

The March 1999 Congressional Presentation was concise, indicating that EDA for Guyana will be used "to promote inter-operability and modernization of equipment."²
