98in the same ball park about what it would cost. But that is ray ownopinion.I do think you are on the right track, and I wish possibly somewherem your realm you would try to coordinate more closely thesepotentials.I don't really care whether any law enforcement agencies in thiscountry or the world have asked you to do it.I would hope someone with your capabilities would do it, and thereis a tremendous need for it.Now, on the satellite capabilities, I have no doubt that within avery short period of time—and I agree with your time schedule thatwithin a year, we can view from the air, from satellite, the poppyfields.Of course, some one might get up on the floor of the House andsay that their poppyfield had been bugged, but I think we are goingto have to use those approaches, and go at it from that direction.Because here is a program that is already available to us, here is aprogram where we have spent millions of dollars trying to use thescience and technology research capabilities of these men. These arethe same men whom we are now putting out of jobs because some ofour programs are being phased out, and we could use their ability tohelp solve some of the drug problems in the country.I think you are on the right track. I commend you for your statementand I hope that possibly you can put some additional informationin the record as far as coordination is concerned.Thank you very much.Chairman Pepper. Mr. Keating ?Mr. Keating. No questions, Mr. Chairman.Chairman Pepper. Mr. Brasco, any questions ?Mr. Brasoo. Yes, I wanted to ask one question and make anobservation.I heard several times about an agreement being necessary, but itwould appear to me if we are talking about satellite surveillance Idon't know if we need any agreement to use that kind of technique,and I think it makes it more attractive because of that because youare apt to get an arrangement where you can perfect the equipmentbefore you get an agreement. But the one question I would like toask in connection with the sensors that you spoke about, which apparentlywould detect the drug, you mentioned that they were notof sufficient capability at this time to be possibly used in satellites.Could you use whatever equipment you have now, and are theyusing it, anyone, if you know, at points of entry in the United Statesjust to detect it, if someone has it, you know, in a bag or on theirperson, or somewhere in the vicinity of the airport or the seaport?Mr. Jaffe. First of all, there are really two different classes ofthings that we mean when we talk about surveillance from the air andsensing at a point of entry. The techniques for detecting opium fieldsfrom the air are generally available. They just haven't been applied inthis direction and haven't been adapted to this application.Mr. Brasco. How about the latter one that I was talking about ?Mr. Jaffe. On the latter one. the Bureau of Customs does have a programunderway in that area. I don't know of anything being used now.I don't think anything has progressed to the point where it is beingused now.
