After a careful review of the record __________ and the briefs of the parties, we agree with the judgment of the district court for essentially the reasons stated in its Memorandum and Order, dated March 21, 1994. As for appellant's claim that the government undercover agents sought to purchase five kilograms of cocaine solely in order to trigger the ten-year mandatory minimum term of imprisonment, it has been waived.
