agreement with the United States or a multilateral agreement which
achieves the
objectives of paragraph (2).
"(4) Information to be included in certification. If the
President makes a
certification with respect to a country pursuant to paragraph (1)(B),
the
President shall include in such certification --

interests placed
at risk if United States bilateral assistance to that country is terminated

shall
consider the following:

resulted in the
maximum reductions in illicit drug production which were determined
to be
achievable pursuant to section 489A(a)(2)(D)? In the case of a major
illicit
drug producing country, the President shall give foremost consideration,
in
determining whether to make the determination required by subsection
(b)(1)(A),
to whether the government of that country has taken actions which have
resulted
in such reductions.
"(2) Has that government taken the legal and law enforcement
measures to
enforce in its territory, to the maximum extent possible, the elimination
of
illicit cultivation and the suppression of illicit manufacturing of
and
trafficking in narcotic and psychotropic drugs and other controlled
substances,
as evidenced by seizures of such drugs and substances and of illicit
laboratories and the arrest and prosecution of violators involved in
the traffic
in such drugs and substances significantly affecting the United States?
"(3) Has that government taken the legal and law enforcement
steps necessary
to eliminate, to the maximum extent possible, the laundering in that
country of
drug-related profits or drug-related moneys, as evidenced by --
"(A) the enactment and enforcement by that government
of laws prohibiting
such conduct;
"(B) that government entering into, and cooperating under
the terms of,
mutual legal assistance agreements with the United States governing
(but not
limited to) money laundering; and
"(C) the degree to which that government otherwise cooperates
with United
States law enforcement authorities on anti-money laundering efforts?
"(4) Has that government taken the legal and law enforcement
steps necessary
to eliminate, to the maximum extent possible, bribery and other forms
of public
corruption which facilitate the illicit production, processing, or
shipment of
narcotic and psychotropic drugs and other controlled substances, or
which
discourage the investigation and prosecution of such acts, as evidenced
by the
enactment and enforcement of laws prohibiting such conduct?
"(5) Has that government, as a matter of government policy
or practice,
encouraged or facilitated the illicit production or distribution of
narcotic and
psychotropic drugs and other controlled substances?
"(6) Does any senior official of that government engage
in,
encourage, or facilitate the illicit production or distribution of
narcotic and
psychotropic drugs and other controlled substances?
"(7) Has that government investigated aggressively all
cases in which any
member of an agency of the United States Government engaged in drug
enforcement
activities has been the victim, since January 1, 1985, of acts or threats
of
violence, inflicted by or with the complicity of any law enforcement
or other
officer of such country or any political subdivision thereof, and energetically
sought to bring the perpetrators of such offense or offenses to justice?
"(8) Having been requested to do so by the United States Government,
does
that government fail to provide reasonable cooperation to lawful activities
of
United States drug enforcement agents, including the refusal of permission
to
such agents engaged in interdiction of aerial smuggling into the United
States
to pursue suspected aerial smugglers a reasonable distance into the
airspace of
the requested country?
"(9) Has that government made necessary changes in legal
codes in order to
enable law enforcement officials to move more effectively against narcotics
traffickers, such as new conspiracy laws and new asset seizure laws?
"(10) Has that government expeditiously processed United
States extradition
requests relating to narcotics trafficking?

to any known drug
traffickers, and has it expeditiously processed extradition requests
relating to
narcotics trafficking made by other countries?
