MEMORANDUM TO JIM PINKERTON
FROM:
A/AID, Peter Schaefer
SUBJECT: A Costa Rica Meeting with Hernando de Soto
1. Issue: As we discussed on the 24th, the issue is; should
the President meet with Hernando? And, if so, should the
meeting take place in Costa Rica during the OAS conference in
October?
2. Purpose: No matter what the venue, the purpose of the
meeting is clear. Hernando's ideas have direct and immediate
relevance to the i) strategy and tactics of debt reform, ii) to
the overall strategies for LDC development, and in a larger
sense iii) to the process of democratization.
The substance of the meeting could be a continuation of
Hernado's recent meeting with Secretary Brady on debt reform.
Or he could prepare a broader agenda as you advise.
In essence the meeting with Secretary Brady made the point that
the sort of "top down" marco-economic reforms that the IMF,
World Bank, and Treasury promote are necessary but not
sufficient for reform (see today's Financial Times article).
In addition there must be a parallel process of "bottom up"
structural or institutional reform. Since de Soto's
techniques, analysis, and programs offer the West our first
true picture of the disenfranchised poor, we now have the
ability and tools to push this two-track process of reform
forward.
3. Background: Hernando's ideas as they are contained in The
Other Path are becoming integral to the most basic debate
within the West on the rationale for true economic
liberalization and real democratization (as opposed to simply
elections).
For your information, in the course of those discussions he has
met with or been supported by, amongst others, President
Reagan, Secretaries Schultz, Baker, Brady, Kemp, Cheney, VP
Quayle, Senators Bradly, Helms, Gramm, and others,
Representatives Hyde, Edwards, Gingrich and others.
-2-
Earlier in the year Alan Woods sent a copy of de Soto's book to
the President (Woods cover letter and GB reply attached). And
several weeks ago Mitch Daniels had lunch with the President
and Gov. Sununu in which de Soto was discussed again. Mitch
left two more copies with them. And Secretary Kemp also has
suggested a meeting with the President (note attached).
4. Discussion: There is considerable interest in Western
countries. But more important to deciding the issue of this
memo is that de Soto's ideas are spreading throughout the Third
World and especially Latin America. For example, outside of
this hemisphere;
-
The editor (Aggrey Klaaste) of the largest black newspaper
in South Africa ("The Sowetan") has said, in effect, the
road to Black liberation is not through political
revolution but through Black economic empowerment.
Hernando will travel there later this year as a guest of
nearly the entire Black and White anti-apartheid spectrum
- ILD-type think tanks are being formed in Africa and Asia.
-
In November de Soto will spend eight days in the USSR to
discuss his ideas as they relate to peristroika. He will
be the guest of Abel Aganbegyan (the "father" of
peristroika) and Pavel Bunich (the "czar" of peristroika).
The greatest impact is being felt in Latin America;
- In Peru both the conservative and the left-wing communist
candidates for President in '90 have publicly stated that
they would like Hernando as their vice president while the
current center-left president is now implementing much of
de Soto's program (though too late to save his regime).
-
Hernando received the '88 Labor Peace Prize in Peru which
is a big event.
- Perez de Cuellar (a Peruvian) in a letter to President
Reagan stated that in supporting de Soto they had found a
common ground.
Most relevant to the issue of whether Hernando should meet with
the President here or in Costa Rica are these main points;
- Hernando's ideas have spread throughout Latin America where
his book is the #1 bestseller in every Spanish speaking
country (it even made the Washington Post bestseller list).
-3-
-
There are ILD-type institutes being planned or started
throughout South and Central America (Chile, Argentina,
Bolivia, Venezuela, Columbia, Guatemala so far).
-
In '87 Hernando was #7 in the "man-of-the-year" balloting
by AP with only five politicians and the Catholic Cardinal
of Nicaragua ahead of him.
-
Hugo Banzer, the leading Bolivian vote-getter in the recent
Presidential elections (he now controls the finance
ministry), publicly ran on the "Sotismo" agenda and has
stated that he intends to implement de Soto reforms.
-
Freddie Christiani had requested a meeting with Hernando
before the election to incorporate his ideas into the
platform. This was not possible, but they are now
scheduled to meet the week before the Costa Rica trip.
- President Menem has asked to meet Hernando and he is
traveling to Argentina in September to meet the President
and his Minister of State for Governmental Reform.
-
The poll leader in the upcoming Brazilian election (Collor)
has stated that he will employ de Soto's ideas if elected.
- Hernando recently addressed the parliament of Honduras and
met the President at their request.
-
He recently met with the presidents of both Guatemala and
the Dominican Republic also at their request.
5. Recommendation: There is little doubt that there will be
controversy surrounding the President's trip to Costa Rica;
Contra policy, Nicaragua relations, US position on Noriega,
Cuba, etc, etc. Plus, the trip will come after the drug speech
which will create significant debate in Latin America no matter
how good the plan may be.
Having a meeting with a popular Latin American who stands for a
set of Latin-grown principles which reaffirm our basic values
and with which we are in agreement should, in itself, be
persuasive in deciding on a meeting.
But if we add to that that there could come out of that meeting
some specific, new ideas on reforms for debt relief (see
section two, para. three, above) that have demonstrated wide
appeal throughout Latin America (and which are not generally
addressed in debt plans today) then such a meeting may be good
in terms of both PR and substance.
And finally since de Soto will be going to the USSR, a positive
meeting with the President just three weeks before his
departure could be an occasion to add a bit of subtle support
to peristroika. End

THE ADMINISTRATOR
The Honorable Jack Kemp
Secretary
Department of Housing and Urban
Development
Washington, D.C. 20410
Dear Mr. Secretary:
I am enclosing a book titled, The Other Path, by Hernando
de Soto a Peruvian economist, which I believe you will find
provocative. In the meetings that I have had with Hernando, I
heard so many echoes of ideas that you have championed over the
years that I am pleased to have the chance to introduce you to
him, at least in print.
Hernando's book offers profound, new insights in the
causes of poverty in the developing countries and is especially
relevant to the confrontation with Marxism and "Liberation
Theology" in the LDCs.
The book documents a post-war process of urbanization in
which the poor of Latin America, who have never read Jefferson
or Adam Smith, run their affairs democratically and organize
their private, parallel economy in a free and unregulated
manner. It would seem that through de Soto's work we believers
in democratic capitalism have an answer to Marx which comes
from the developing countries themselves.
Moreover, these answers, when put in the right vocabulary,
are truly popular. This has been demonstrated by a series of
regulatory reforms in Peru many of which have been championed
by the extreme left as well as the conservative right.
Hernando de Soto's political analysis of the left in Latin
America is that they are very soft and what in fact they seek
is not communism but reform. Indeed, he believes few even
understand communism. This thesis rings of the "agrarian
reform" apologia of the 50s and 60s, but it seems to be
supported by what is happening in Peru. Both the leading
presidential candidates (communist and conservative) are strong
supporters of de Soto's ideas. Barrantes, the communist Mayor
of Lima, has facilitated the issuance of more titles to private
property than anyone in Peru's history, while the conservative,
Mario Vargas Llosa, wrote the introduction, to this book.
-2-
I hope you find this interesting and I would be delighted
to arrange a meeting for you with Hernando. He is really
documenting the process of Latin urbanization and if there is
anything that jumps out of his book, it is the idea that people
everywhere seem to want the same things and seem to organize
their lives in remarkably similar ways.
Sincerely,
Blankbod

Dear Alan:
Thank you for your thoughtful letter enclosing an
inscribed copy of Hernando de Soto's book, The
Other Path.
I appreciate your sharing this work on the causes
of poverty in developing countries, and your views
and comments regarding the debt crisis in Latin
America. It's always encouraging to receive
evidence that the tenets of democracy and the free
enterprise system are spreading around the world.
With my best wishes,
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. President:
I am enclosing a book titled, The Other Path, by
Hernando de Soto, a Peruvian economist, which I believe
you will find provocative. It is the number one best
seller in every country in Latin America where it has been
published save Brazil where Spanish is not so easily read.
I believe that de Soto offers profound new insights
into the causes of poverty in the developing countries.
In doing so he suggests new options for dealing with the
developing country reforms which are critical for solving
the debt crisis these countries face.
The book analyzes in great detail the underground
economy of Peru. To most everyone's surprise de Soto
shows that it is large and growing. The underground
economy of Peru accounts for 60% of the hours worked and
40% of the GNP. Peru's formal economy -- the one we deal
with -- is shrinking and generally unsuccessful.
The book is a gold mine of insights, yet perhaps the
most important one that we in the West should take away
from reading it is to realize that the poor of Latin
America, who have never read Jefferson or Adam Smith, run
their affairs democratically and organize their private,
parallel economy in a free and unregulated manner.
-2-
In a word, those of us who believe in democratic
capitalism have a new answer to Marx, an answer which
comes from the developing countries themselves. Moreover,
de Soto's answer, when put in the right vocabulary, is
truly popular. This has been demonstrated by a series of
regulatory reforms in Peru, many of which have been
championed by the extreme left as well as the conservative
in other countries.
right. Interestingly, these changes are now being adopted
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Dear Signora Pancorvo
I wish to convey on behalf of The United States our profound sorrow on
the tragic death of your husband Mario. As a young, dedicated and
skillful pilot of The peruvian National Police, he courageously accepted
his mission and the dangers of our mutual fight against the evils of
drug trafficking. As the National Police's most experienced pilot, Mario
displayed an ability and skill which will be greatly missed.
I want to assure you that Mario's death will not be in vain and that we
are commited more than ever to the fight against drugs, which threaten
both of our societies.
Once again, please accept my condolences and my prayers for you and your
two children.

much progress was made in 1988. Hugo's friendly cooperation and
dedication earned him the respect and admiration of both his Peruvian

cannot imagine what grief and pain it must bring you. I am told that he
bravely overcame heart disease at an early age and was a fine student

I am told also, Comandante, that you so ably and bravely command the
64th commandancia, which is in the heart of terrorist and drug

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and I hope that you

Dear Mrs. Bayless:
I am deeply saddened by the tragic death of your
husband, Clyde and the other members of his team
in Peru. I cannot imagine the pain and sense of
loss that you and Clyde's family must feel.
Clyde was a soldier and chose a profession that
required courage and commitment. He served his
country with honor and distinction in the most
dangerous and difficult of missions in Vietnam
and after retirement from the military signed up
for another war, the war against drugs and
terrorism in Peru with the State Department.
There too Clyde demonstrated bravery and his
commitment to a cause. I give you my word that
we are going to stay the course in this war and
do what it takes to win, so that men and women
like Clyde will not have died in vain.
Please accept my deepest sentiments and prayers
during this period of sadness for you and the
members of your entire family.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. McDonald:
It is with profound sadness and regret that I
learned of the tragic death of your son Billy
and the members of his mission in Peru on
May 20. I can only try to imagine the sense of
loss and grief that you must certainly feel at
this time.
I know that your family is very much involved
with aviation and that it was very much a part
of Billy's life, first as a United States Army
Helicopter Pilot and then as a civilian. Having
received the Medal of Valor, the Silver Star in
Vietnam and two air medals, your son was truly a
heroic and courageous man. His last mission in
Peru in the war against drugs was no less heroic
and valorous. You have much to be proud of in
raising a son like Billy and we, as Americans,
owe much to you for having done SO. His and
your great sacrifice is not in vain, I assure
you.
Once again, please accept our deepest sentiments
and prayers and our thoughts which are with you
and your family in this period of sadness.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Billy S. McDonald, Sr.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Eisler:
I wish to express my deepest sympathy and regret
over the tragic loss of your son, Dennis, while
on an important anti-narcotics mission in Peru.
My thoughts and prayers and those of my family
are with you in your hour of sorrow and grief.
Having been a pilot, I know the constant danger
and peril which Dennis faced and the bravery
that his profession demands. He served his
country with honor and distinction as a
helicopter pilot in Vietnam, helping to evacuate
his fellow Americans from that troubled land and
then again as a pilot for Air America in
Southeast Asia. Once again, he answered the
call of his country in a different war, the war
against drugs in South America.
You have my word that Dennis' death will not
have been in vain and that I am personally
committed to putting an end to this terrible
scourge of drugs on our society.
I know that I speak for millions of Americans
who, with me, are thankful for men like Dennis
and extend to you and your sons William and
Robert our deepest sentiments.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Paul R. Eisler

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Van Zandt:
In your time of sorrow and loss over the death
of your son, John, I want you to know that my
thoughts and prayers and those of my family are
with you. As parents, we can imagine the grief
that you must be suffering because of this
tragic accident.
John, who had served his country well in The
United States Army, was a volunteer, this time
as a civilian, in the war against drugs. A war
which he fought with courage and valor. I know
that I speak for millions of Americans who do
not feel that his sacrifice was in vain.
John was highly regarded in his profession and
liked and respected by his fellow man and the
members of this dangerous mission. You should
take pride in the fact that he chose to take a
stand for such a worthy and noble cause in these
times when many think only of themselves.
Once again, please accept my deepest sentiments
and condolences to you and your daughters, Mary,
Pat, and Linda and your son David.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Billy J. Van Zandt

Dear Mrs. Knapp:
I wish to extend to you and your children, Jon,
Gary and Michelle my deepest sympathy and
condolences and those of my wife, Barbara, for
the tragic loss of your husband and father, Jon.
We can only try to imagine the profound sense of
loss and grief that you must feel at this time
and our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Jon, was truly a man of courage and concern for
his fellow man, having served in the United
States Navy and then doing anti-drug work for
the Imperial Valley Sheriff's Department. As a
former pilot, I know all too well the dangers
and peril that he faced and yet he chose to go
to Peru for this very important mission against
drugs.
I assure you that his death will not have been
in vain. Thanks to men and women like Jon, who
believe in their mission the fight against drugs
goes on with even greater resolve. I am
personally committed to stamping out this
terrible scourge on our society.
Once again, please accept my heartfelt
sentiments and my regards to you and your entire
family.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Jon M. Knapp

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Finley:
I am deeply saddened by the loss of your son
Rick, and the other members of the team in Peru,
in the tragic air crash on May 20. I cannot
imagine the sense of pain and grief that you
must feel at this time.
Rick was a brave and committed young man who
dedicated his life to the dangerous and violent
world of drug enforcement, so that we might
fight this terrible scourge of drugs in our
society. His decision to go to Peru, was
perhaps the one which required the greatest
courage and committment of all; yet, I am told
that Rick did so without hesitation.
I know of Rick's outstanding record as a police
officer on the Little Rock Police Department and
of his awards and achievements in five years
as a DEA Special Agent. He was highly regarded
and was truly the type of fine individual and
son that we, as parents, can be proud of.
Without men such as Rick, our world would indeed
be a dark and threatening place.
Rick was respected and admired by his fellow
officers, and will truly be missed by them and
those who value a civilized and lawful society.
Please accept my deepest condolences and my
sentiments which I know are also those of
millions of Americans.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs. Drexal Finley

FROM:
WILLIAM T. PRYCE
DAVID A. PACELLI DAP
SUBJECT:
Possible Call to the President from Peruvian
President Garcia
Peruvian President Garcia told former Assistant Secretary of
State Abrams on May 18 that he was very pleased with his recent
telephone conversation with the President and may call the
President soon (Tab II). Garcia said he would raise two issues
in any call he may make, Peru's performance in the recent OAS
meeting and anti-narcotics cooperation.
Garcia does not want the President to believe recent press
reporting that Peru opposed the U.S. position in the OAS. In
point of fact, Peru was decidedly unhelpful at the Foreign
Ministers meeting last week. It presented a very weak resolution
as a counter to the Venezuelan resolution which we favored. In
his speech presenting the resolution--the only speech of the
session--Foreign Minister Larco Cox made numerous gratuitous
jibes at the United States and abstained on the amendment which
specifically named Noriega. He subsequently agreed to the
overall resolution, as did every OAS member.
Our suggested talking points for the President would mention our
disappointment at the Peruvian abstention, but concentrate on the
need for future positive OAS action.
On drug issues, our Ambassador believes Garcia does not grasp the
limited availability of funding for U.S. anti-narcotics programs
and that he will urge a greater U.S. effort. We expect Garcia
would also mention the plane crash on May 20 that killed 9 people
involved in the anti-narcotics effort, including 6 Americans.
We believe the President should make known the dimensions of our
anti-drug effort but tell Garcia that we are currently engaged in
a major review of our drug control policy which could have a
considerable impact on levels of U.S. support for Peru. The
President should also express condolences about the Peruvians
killed in the plane crash.
David Miller concurs.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
BRENT SCOWCROFT
SUBJECT:
Points to Be Made in Possible Telephone Call from
Peruvian President Garcia
Purpose
To prepare you for a possible phone call from Peruvian President
Garcia on OAS action regarding Panama and narcotics cooperation.
Background
Our Embassy in Lima reports that Garcia may phone you to attempt
to counter reports that Peru was unhelpful to us at the OAS
Foreign Ministers meeting last Wednesday. Despite his
protestations, Peru was in fact most unhelpful. There may be a
disconnect between Garcia and his Foreign Ministry on this.
Foreign Minister Larco Cox not only circulated a very weak
resolution countering the Venezuelan proposal we favored, but
also abstained on a key vote condemning Noriega. Once this
amendment was passed on a close vote, he did agree to the overall
resolution, as did every other OAS member.
We expect that Garcia will also urge greater U.S. funding for
anti-narcotics efforts, as well as express sympathy for the six
American drug enforcement officials killed in a plane crash on
May 20.
The points to be made at Tab A mention our disappointment at the
Peruvian abstention, but concentrate on the need for future
positive OAS action. On drug issues, you should explain that
although we already have a sizable effort in Peru, we are
conducting a review of our international drug control policy
which could include greater resources.
RECOMMENDATION
That you retilize approve the talking points to be made at Tab A in the event
Career calls.

It is crucial that Peru continue its efforts both in drug
interdiction and eradication; we will continue to study ways
in which we can give you better support.
I appreciated the chance to consult you before the OAS
meeting and I was satisfied with the resolution.
I was concerned, however, by the tone of your Foreign
Minister's speech. It was the only substantive address and

contained harsh criticism of my country.
I was also surprised by Foreign Minister Larco Cox's
abstention on the amendment to the resolution condemning
Noriega--especially since you were so clear in your comments
to me during our telephone conversation.
zeit We need to cooperate now on encouraging the OAS mission to
Panama to concentrate on securing Noriega's departure
This is the only viable solution; we must not/allow him to
engage in delaying tactics.
When the OAS reconvenes on June 6, it will be a moment of
decision for the hemisphere; we must be prepared to take
additional measures if the crisis has not been resolved.

THAT
NORIEGA MUST GO AND THE BALL IS IN
THE LATINOS' COURT. THIS IS A MAKE OR BREAK ISSUE
FOR THE OAS AND WILL HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON OVERALL

NORIEGA'S DEPARTURE.
5. ON NARCOTICS, WE SUGGEST THE PRESIDENT TELL GARCIA
THE USG IS CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN A MAJOR REVIEW OF
INTERNATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY WHICH COULD HAVE
MAJOR IMPACT ON LEVELS OF U.S. SUPPORT FOR PERU,
NOT ONLY FOR NARCOTICS CONTROL ACTIVITIES PER SE, BUT
ALSO FOR RELATED MILITARY AND DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE.
IN THIS REGARD, HOWEVER, IT IS CRUCIAL THAT THERE BE
NO FLAGGING OF PERU'S LAUDABLE ANTI-NARCOTICS EFFORTS

MEMORANDUM FOR BRENT SCOWCROFT
FROM:
DAVID A. PACELLI DAP
SUBJECT:
Draft White House Cable Summarizing the
President's Telephone Conversations with
Presidents Sanguinetti, Alfonsin, and Garcia
Attached at Tab I is a draft cable which summarizes the
President's telephone conversations on May 13, 1989 with
Uruguayan President Sanguinetti, Argentine President Alfonsin,
and Peruvian President Garcia. Per your instructions to the
Sitroom, the memoranda of conversations have been boiled down to
their essential points.
I have marked the cable for distribution to the U.S. Ambassadors
from the named countries, for our Ambassador to Paraguay, and for
the head of the U.S. delegation to the inauguration of Paraguayan
President Rodriguez (the President's daughter, Doro). You may
want to give the cable wider distribution.
I have seen the text of the President's interview aboard Air
Force One in draft form. I have alerted State to be on the
lookout for the final and they have agreed to send out a cable
since the President referred to it in all three conversations.
Bernie Aronson told me last night to expect a Roy-Scowcroft
memorandum recommending a call to Salinas. We agreed that Mexico
will be a tough nut to crack. Aronson believes we should keep
their feet to the fire. I do not believe the President gains
from tilting at windmills, but at this point a call could have
value if nothing else than from recognizing Salinas as an
important player in all this. He wouldn't welcome U.S. pressure,
but he might be miffed from a hemispheric consultation that
excludes him especially if it is seen as annointing Carlos
Andres Perez as the preeminent Latin American leader.

SUBJECT:
Possible Call to the President from Peruvian
President Garcia
Peruvian President Garcia told former Assistant Secretary of
State Abrams on May 18 that he was very pleased with his recent
telephone conversation with the President and may call the
President soon (Tab II). Garcia said he would raise two issues
in any call he may make, Peru's performance in the recent OAS
meeting and anti-narcotics cooperation.
Garcia does not want the President to believe recent press
reporting that Peru opposed the U.S. position in the OAS. In
point of fact, Peru was decidedly unhelpful at the Foreign
Ministers meeting last week. It presented a very weak resolution
as a counter to the Venezuelan resolution which we favored. In
his speech presenting the resolution--the only speech of the
session--Foreign Minister Larco Cox made numerous gratuitous
jibes at the United States and abstained on the amendment which
specifically named Noriega. He subsequently agreed to the
overall resolution, as did every OAS member.
Our suggested talking points for the President would mention our
disappointment at the Peruvian abstention, but concentrate on the
need for future positive OAS action.
On drug issues, our Ambassador believes Garcia does not grasp the
limited availability of funding for U.S. anti-narcotics programs
and that he will urge a greater U.S. effort. We expect Garcia
would also mention the plane crash on May 20 that killed 9 people
involved in the anti-narcotics effort, including 6 Americans.
We believe the President should make known the dimensions of our
anti-drug effort but tell Garcia that we are currently engaged in
a major review of our drug control policy which could have a
considerable impact on levels of U.S. support for Peru. The
President should also express condolences about the Peruvians
killed in the plane crash.
David Miller concurs.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
BRENT SCOWCROFT
SUBJECT:
Points to Be Made in Possible Telephone Call from
Peruvian President Garcia
Purpose
To prepare you for a possible phone call from Peruvian President
Garcia on OAS action regarding Panama and narcotics cooperation.
Background
Our Embassy in Lima reports that Garcia may phone you to attempt
to counter reports that Peru was unhelpful to us at the OAS
Foreign Ministers meeting last Wednesday. Despite his
protestations, Peru was in fact most unhelpful. There may be a
disconnect between Garcia and his Foreign Ministry on this.
Foreign Minister Larco Cox not only circulated a very weak
resolution countering the Venezuelan proposal we favored, but
also abstained on a key vote condemning Noriega. Once this
amendment was passed on a close vote, he did agree to the overall
resolution, as did every other OAS member.
We expect that Garcia will also urge greater U.S. funding for
anti-narcotics efforts, as well as express sympathy for the six
American drug enforcement officials killed in a plane crash on
May 20.
The points to be made at Tab A mention our disappointment at the
Peruvian abstention, but concentrate on the need for future
positive OAS action. On drug issues, you should explain that
although we already have a sizable effort in Peru, we are
conducting a review of our international drug control policy
which could include greater resources.
RECOMMENDATION
That you approve the points to be made at Tab A.

POINTS TO BE MADE FOR TELEPHONE CALL TO
PERUVIAN PRESIDENT GARCIA
--
Please accept my condolences for deaths of the Peruvians in
the plane crash on Saturday, including the director of the
narcotic eradication program; as you know, 6 Americans also
died.
--
I appreciate your support on anti-narcotics efforts; we know
that you have an insurgency problem that complicates law
enforcement efforts.
--
It is crucial that Peru continue its efforts both in drug
interdiction and eradication; we will continue to study ways
in which we can give you better support.
--
I appreciated the chance to consult you before the OAS
meeting and I was satisfied with the resolution.
-- I was concerned, however, by the tone of your Foreign
Minister's speech. It was the only substantive address and
contained harsh criticism of my country.
-- I was also surprised by Foreign Minister Larco Cox's
abstention on the amendment to the resolution condemning
Noriega--especially since you were so clear in your comments
to me during our telephone conversation.
-- We need to cooperate now on encouraging the OAS mission to
Panama to concentrate on securing Noriega's departure.
-- This is the only viable solution; we must not allow him to
engage in delaying tactics.
-- When the OAS reconvenes on June 6, it will be a moment of
decision for the hemisphere; we must be prepared to take
additional measures if the crisis has not been resolved.

4. COMMENT: WE SUGGEST THAT, IF GARCIA MENTIONS
THE OAS RESOLUTION ON PANAMA, THE PRESIDENT REITERATE
THAT
NORIEGA MUST GO AND THE BALL IS IN
THE LATINOS' COURT. THIS IS A MAKE OR BREAK ISSUE
FOR THE OAS AND WILL HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON OVERALL
RELATIONS BETWEEN THE U.S. AND LATIN AMERICA. THE
PRESIDENT MIGHT ALSO ASK GARCIA HOW PERU'S ARMED
FORCES, PARTICULARLY THE ARMY, WHICH HAVE TRADITIONALLY
CLOSE RELATIONS WITH THE PDF, MIGHT CONTRIBUTE TO
NORIEGA'S DEPARTURE.
-
5. ON NARCOTICS, WE SUGGEST THE PRESIDENT TELL GARCIA
THE USG IS CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN A MAJOR REVIEW OF
INTERNATIONAL DRUG CONTROL POLICY WHICH COULD HAVE
MAJOR IMPACT ON LEVELS OF U.S. SUPPORT FOR PERU,
NOT ONLY FOR NARCOTICS CONTROL ACTIVITIES PER SE, BUT
ALSO FOR RELATED MILITARY AND DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE.
IN THIS REGARD, HOWEVER, IT IS CRUCIAL THAT THERE BE
NO FLAGGING OF PERU'S LAUDABLE ANTI-NARCOTICS EFFORTS
IN BOTH INTERDICTION AND ERADICATION. IN FACT, THE
PRESIDENT MIGHT ADD, DRAMATIC ANTI-NARCOTICS MOVES BY
THE GOP WOULD BE USEFUL IN PERSUADING THE U.S. CONGRESS
TO AUTHORIZE MORE FUNDING.

6. FYI. USG ANTI-NARCOTICS PROGRAMS IN PERU HAVE
AVERAGED ABOUT USDOLS TEN MILLION A YEAR THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS, NOT INCLUDING THE HELICOPTERS AND
