In the midst of preparing my federal income tax return, I happened to read a news story that made me wonder where my tax dollars are going. According to the report, while visiting Bogota, Colombia, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright met with the South American nation's leaders to "discuss a proposed $ 1.3-billion emergency aid package for Colombia," the country considered the source of 80% of the world's cocaine. I sure hope that our billion-dollar gift doesn't help Colombia become the source for 90% of the world's cocaine. George C. Potts, Tucson, Ariz. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
