Representative Giffords and the Commandant departs a morning Border Security Briefing at University of Arizona

Shipmates,

This morning I provided an overview of The Interdiction Committee's work for the Office of National Drug Control Policy at the University of Arizona at a meeting hosted by Representative Gabrielle Giffords. In attendance were our DHS partners who are crafting the Arizona Operations Plan for the border with Mexico and other federal, state, and local agencies. It was a wide ranging discussion on the challenges we face in securing our borders. The meeting will allow me to better carry out my duties as Chairman of the TIC and make recommendations to the Director, Office of National Drug Control Policy on interdiction guidance to federal agencies.
Thanks to Rep Giffords for hosting this event and her commitment to border security and the people of Arizona.

I attended a briefing this morning with Admiral Thad Allen and Congresswoman Giffords. I was very impressed with Admiral Allen. I was not sure exactly what a Coast Guard Commandant was going to bring to our table in our fight against the drug trade. His positive insights have given me a renewed commitment to our Stonegarden Operations in the southwest. Excellent brief Admiral. Deputy Chief Tom Alinen, Sierra Vista Police Department
