Authors: K. Larry Storrs, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division 
Abstract: This report summarizes the drug certification requirements mandated by Congress, and indicates the types of U.S. assistance that could be suspended if Mexico were to be decertified. It also indicates the types of assistance that could be exempted from suspension, or be provided by the President anyway, using special authorities. It also indicates how the negative votes of U. S. representatives would affect multilateral development bank lending to Mexico.
