FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AG MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1994 (202) 514-2007 TDD (202) 514-1888 STATEMENT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL JANET RENO Five brave, young Drug Enforcement agents -- all in their 30's -- are the latest casualty in our effort to eliminate the scourge of drugs. From Florida, California, Texas and Washington, D.C., they died in the distant Peruvian jungle while trying to save the lives of other young people in America's towns and cities. Our heartfelt sympathy goes to their families. We re- commit ourselves to the important work for which they gave their lives. (The fact that the five DEA agents did not survive became known late this afternoon.) ### 94-494
