MORE INVESTMENT PLANS -- San Jose, La Nacion, Spanish, 14 Feb 73,

La Nacion has learned that the controversial American busi-
nessman Robert L. Vesco is now planning to set UD in Costa Rica a
railroad freight station for cars of Central American dimensions.
Talks were begun more than a week ago between one of Vesco's closest
advisers and the Centra.1 American Transporters Union which has an
office in the country. At first, the Central American transporters
reacted vehemently against the project, due to the fact that it was
detrimental to ?their interests and to their project to set up a
railroad freight terminal, which has already been designed and for
which financial negotiations are already in process. With respect
to the installation of a station, the transporters are demanding
51 percent of the shares; otherwise, they are ready to fight any
other alternative that would be disadvantageous to them. Neverthe-
less, the talks continue, and we have been informed that this week
a spokesman for Vesco will probably propose a concrete offer on the
project to be discussed.
