SUMMARY 
--------- 
1.  (SBU) On November 13, the GOP eradication team passed the 
8,000-hectare mark, its 2005 goal.  By the end of November, 
eradication totaled 8,512 hectares as operations in San Gaban 
continue.  They are scheduled to end on December 15.  The 
GOP's proposed 2006 Eradication Plan is awaiting final 
approval by senior government officials.  The Palmapampa 
police base in the Apurimac Valley, which has been operating 
since July, was formally inaugurated on November 16. 
Interdiction operations continue in the Apurimac, with 497 
cocaine-base labs destroyed to date. The Ambassador briefed 
PM Kuczynski and Peruvian Government Ministers on bilateral 
CN programs.  A SOUTHCOM team traveled to Peru to assess the 
GOP capabilities for using CNIES information to carry out 
counter-narcotics operations.  The Maritime and Ports Program 
is connecting GOP entities electronically to share 
information that is already leading to more seizures in the 
ports.  Canine training is also paying dividends with more 
opium seizures in the Peruvian postal system.  Demand 
Reduction programs are doing grassroots organizing to 
mobilize communities to create drug-free communities.  Two 
major evangelical groups will be carrying our anti-drug and 
Trafficking-in-Persons messages to their communities.  (END 
SUMMARY) 
 
--------------------------------------------- - 
CORAH REACHES 8,000-HECTARE GOAL IN SAN GABAN 
--------------------------------------------- - 
2.  (U) On November 13, the CORAH eradicators working in the 
area near San Gaban in Puno Department, passed the 
8,000-hectare mark, the goal established by DEVIDA for 2005. 
CORAH workers have eradicated 8,512 hectares for the year up 
to November 30.  Two DEVIDA officials, the CORAH Director, 
and the NAS Director visited the eradication base camp in 
Mazuko on November 15 to congratulate the personnel.  The 
goal is to eradicate all coca in San Gaban by December 15, 
when the eradication effort for 2005 will finish (Ref A). 
 
3.  (SBU) The DEVIDA Inter-Institutional Committee has sent 
the 2006 eradication plan forward to the Prime Minister's 
Office for formal approval.  The plan supports the 
consolidation of Alternative Development areas and programmed 
eradication to make the regions of San Martin and Ucayali 
coca-free by the end of 2006.  (Comment: DEVIDA is still 
hoping it can marshal the political will and the economic and 
social assistance needed from the GOP for eradication in the 
Monzon, but the politics of a presidential election year and 
a lack of resources makes it unlikely.  End Comment) 
 
---------------------------------- 
CN BRIEFINGS FOR PM AND MINISTERS 
---------------------------------- 
4. (U) On November 9, the Ambassador, NAS Director and others 
from Country Team briefed Prime Minister Kuczynski on 
U.S.-Peru Counter Narcotics Programs.  On November 21, 
Ambassador and team gave a similar briefing to Minister of 
Interior Pizarro, Minister of Economy Zavala, and Minister of 
Foreign Relations Maurtua. 
 
--------------------------------------- 
NEW DRUG DESTRUCTION FACILITIES COMING 
--------------------------------------- 
5.  (U) OFECOD, the GOP office in charge of storing and 
destroying seized drugs, inaugurated its new warehouse.  The 
OFECOD Director announced that a modern incinerator, meeting 
USEPA standards, is being purchased by NAS.  The burn carried 
out after the inauguration destroyed almost 16.5 metric tons 
of drugs.  It was the first burning since November 2004, when 
the facility was shut down due to complaints from neighbors 
about the pollution from the smokestack. 
 
-------------------------------------------- 
POLICE BASE IN PALMAPAMPA FORMALLY LAUNCHED 
-------------------------------------------- 
6.  (SBU) On November 16, NAS Director Keogh joined PNP 
Deputy Director General Vizcarra, Director of DIRANDRO Olivo 
and other Peruvian Government officials for the formal 
inauguration of a modern police base in Palmapampa (Ref B). 
The base was built in the heart of the Apurimac/Ene Valley 
(VRAE), which is one of the main source zones for coca 
cultivation and cocaine production in Peru.  In the past 4 
months, police operations from the new base have resulted in 
the destruction of over 400 cocaine-base laboratories, over 
150 metric tons of precursor chemicals, and over 800 metric 
tons of coca leaf.  The disruption has scared off buyers and 
reduced the price of leaf by half.  To address hostility by 
the local community, PNP personnel at Palmapampa plan to 
replicate the outreach programs offered at the Santa Lucia 
police base that have been successful. 
 
--------------------------------------------- 
POLICE INTERDICTION AND ERADICATION SECURITY 
--------------------------------------------- 
7.  (U) Since January 2005, DIRANDRO's Special Operations 
Group (GOES) has destroyed 497 cocaine-base laboratories. 
The on-going GOES operations in the Apurimac Valley have 
resulted in countrywide total seizures of 4.4 metric tons of 
cocaine base, 11.2 metric tons of cocaine HCl, 500 kg of 
opium latex, 560 metric tons of precursor chemicals 
destroyed, 64 metric tons of precursor chemicals seized, and 
92.5 hectares of opium eradicated. 
 
8.  (U) The DIRANDRO Road Interdiction Unit continues 
operations in the Ayacucho area and has expanded its 
operations into the San Francisco/Quimbiri area.  On November 
14, the Unit seized 17 kg of cocaine base and made one arrest. 
 
------------------ 
NEW FISCAL GENERAL 
------------------ 
9. (U) Dr Nelly Calderon stepped down as Fiscal General of 
the Nation at a ceremony on November 7 attended by NAS 
Director.   Dr Adeleida Bolivar has replaced her. 
 
--------------------------------------------- --- 
CNIES: SOUTHCOM TEAM ASSESSES GOP CAPABILITIES 
--------------------------------------------- -- 
10.  (U) A SOUTHCOM team visited Lima on November 15-17 to 
assess how best to use the limited GOP and USG resources to 
create a non-lethal Regional Aerial Interdiction Initiative 
(RAII) program for Peru.  It was agreed that the Coordinating 
Nations Information Exchange System (CNIES) and Participating 
Nation Network (PNN) would provide the communications 
capability.  One of the CNIES nodes will be located in the 
Peruvian Air Force (FAP) Headquarters in Lima.  The FAP will 
share and coordinate information as appropriate with the PNP, 
the Peruvian Army, and other CN agencies.  FAP ground-based 
radars would be integrated into JIATF-South for information 
sharing.  SOUTHCOM will be sending a team to assess the 
condition of the FAP radars. 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------- 
PERUVIAN PORTS SHARE INFORMATION, SEIZURES INCREASE 
--------------------------------------------- ------- 
11.  (SBU) NAS Maritime and Ports Program is supporting a 
first-ever electronic information exchange between Port of 
Callao's centralized Port Operations Center and the Manifest 
Review Unit (MRU).  The program will begin in early December. 
 The data will provide arrival and departure information for 
all international cargo from the principal ports in Peru as 
well as ship berthing locations, with up to 10 days lead 
time.  With this data, the MRU will be able to track cargo 
locations within the port/terminals and storage locations. 
In addition, NAS will electronically link the MRU in Callao 
with the DEA-sponsored Peruvian Coast Guard Port Program. 
Currently, DEA has linked 13 Peruvian Coast Guard units (10 
seaports and 3 river ports) in order to exchange information 
on suspect ships entering and leaving Peru.  The estimated 
time of completion is two months. 
 
12. (U) Key seizures - The PNP used K-9 dogs to find and 
seize over 14 kg of opium latex from October 15 to November 
30 at the Peruvian Postal Services (SERPOST) mail handling 
facilities.  One trafficker was shipping the opium in plastic 
bottles labeled "vegetable extract" or "natural vegetable 
medicine" to Mexico, Spain, and Argentina.  On November 30, a 
NAS/DEA operation in Paita (Peru's second largest port) 
resulted in the seizure 23 kg of cocaine HCL hidden in a 
container shipment of Peruvian ceramics bound for Canada. 
The US Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) advisor was 
present to advise the police during the search. 
 
13. (U) NAS sponsored the training of 7 Peruvian Customs 
counternarcotics canine handlers and program managers at the 
USCBP Canine Academy at Front Royal, Virginia.  The 
four-month training began on November 28.  This effort will 
double the number of trained handlers and canines. 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------------- 
DEMAND REDUCTION: RAISING AWARENESS AND MOBILIZING PEOPLE 
---------------------------------------- ----------------- 
14. (U) Besides funding six community anti-drug coalitions 
(CAC), NAS is also supporting four other Demand Reduction 
(DR) programs.  These DR programs focus mainly on schools, 
parent/teacher organizations, and youth groups.  The CACs 
continue to break new ground in overcoming years of community 
neglect and citizen distrust through grassroots organizing 
techniques and social marketing strategies. 
 
15.  (U) The NAS Programs Officer is working with two major 
evangelical church groups ("Agua Viva" and "Camino de Vida"), 
who claim hundreds of thousands of adherents.  Both groups 
are eager to learn more about the DR and Trafficking in 
Persons (TIP) programs in order to educate their 
congregations about these issues.  CAC teams and DR NGOs will 
be participating in interdenominational leadership training 
sponsored by the Camino de Vida church.
