mr. chester, you're off the hook. mr. foote, in 2008 mexico's congress passed a series of significant reforms to its criminal procedures. new laws to promote greater access to justice and strengthen measures to combat organized crime. measures that would make the mexican justice system look over that more like our own. these reformed were intended to be implemented by 2016. where does the limitation of these reformed stand and how has the united states assisted in this process, and how do you feel about whether they are really doing what they committed to do? >> thank you, senator. as you know, mexico committed and passed legislation to implement a new criminal justice system which is an accusatory of justice system, much like ourselves. at this point of the 32 mexican states, 24 have implemented this with federal level crimes and i believe nine have implemented it at the state level crimes. obviously this is a long-term process and some of the states in mexico will not meet next month's deadline. we remain committed and

mr. chester, can we just go to mexico. what is the level of cooperation that you are getting from the mexican government in interdicting fentnal coming into the united states? we know it's el chapo and his gang that's responsible for the traffic that comes up to lawrence, massachusetts, but pretty much for the whole country. what's your success level with the mex skn government getting them to understand the magnitude of the threats to the american people? >> i would tell you that i personally have been down there twice and have dealt with the mexican embassy here in the united states. i will tell you that they understand how seriously we take this issue in the united states. they understand that this is our top i will littlice drug priority and they understand that it is not just heroin but it is heroin and fentnol. i put fentnol on the table and i won't say it was first heard for them but they weren't really familiar with how serious the issue was in the united states by the time we had gone down later with the director

mr. chester's judge said, this man does not deserve a life sentence. and there is no way that i can legally keep from giving it to him. what have these laws done? they've imprisoned single mothers like alex johnson -- alice johnson after losing her job and filing for bankruptciy began to associate with people involved in drug dealing. she was arrested for her participation in transferring drugs as a go between. when ten of her coconspirators testified against her in exchange for reduced charges, she was sentenced for life in prison without parole for 25 years for that nonviolent drug crime. what have these laws done? well, they've imprisoned people like dicky jackson, a father who was so desperate to save his 2-year-old child who needed a bone marrow transplant, that after exhausting his options, including community fund-raisers began transporting meth in his truck. a career into his work he was arrested for selling a half pound of meth to an undercover officer. he was found guilty of possessing with intent to distribute and was given three life senten

mr. cotton: i would like to recognize corporal jason chester and sergeant jay dupuis of the jonesboro police department for this week's arkansans of the week for heroically saving the life of a 13-year-old boy trapped in a storm drain. last month, the 13-year-old was swept away during a flash flood in jonesboro. jacob was washed to the city's drainage system underneath the parking lot where he held on for several hours. initial search efforts by police, fire, e.m.s. and other volunteers to find jacob were unsuccessful, but corporal chester and sergeant dupuis wouldn't give up hope. they returned to the area where jacob was first swept away and searched again. sergeant dupuis leaned toward a storm drain and heard a faint cry for help. that's when the two officers jumped into action. they removed a heavy manhole cover and were able to pull jacob to safety. the entire state of arkansas is grateful to corporal chester, sergeant dupuis and all the first responders for their heroic efforts. we don't hear news stories with happy endings be often enough these days, especially when the circumstances
