156. Letter From President Carter to Burmese President Ne Win1
Washington, June 15, 1977
Dear Mr. President:
I want to express my special thanks and admiration for the deep commitment you have made to deal with the narcotics problem.
Following his recent visit to your country, Dr. Peter Bourne has told me not only of your determination to deal with this problem, but also of the progress you have already made against both the cultivation and the trafficking of drugs.2
The entire world community joins in applauding your efforts.
Sincerely,
Jimmy
Carter
