4, ABRAMS THANKED DUARTE FOR RECEIVING THE GROUP ON
SUCH SHORT NOTICE, AND OBSERVED THAT THE VOTE IN
CONGRESS HAD OCCURRED AROUND 2:30 P.M. WASHINGTON
TIME MARCH 20TH, AND AT 4 P.M. PRESIDENT REAGAN
HAD CHAIRED AN NSC MEETING DURING WHICH THE PRESIDENT
HAD DECIDED TO SEND ABRAMS TO TEGUCIGALPA, SAN
AND COL. NORTH. THE PURPOSE OF THE TRIP WAS TO RE-
ASSURE OUR ALLIES IN THE REGION THAT r'E RENAIN CON-
FIDENT WE WILL WIN AID FOR THE NICARAGUAN RESISTANCE.
THE ADMINISTRATION HAD LOST BY ONLY 12 VOTES, MEANING
IT ONLY HAD TO Su,,,ITCH SIX NAY-SAYERS TO TURK THE
TIDE. ABRAMS TOLD DUARTE BOTH PRESIDENT REAGAN AND
THE ADMINISTRATION WERE CONFIDENT THEY COULD VAIN
CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL NEXT TIME ARCUND. ABRAMS
SAID THE VOTE WOULD OCCUR IN THE SENATE NEXT TUESDAY,
AND WOULD PROBABLY RETURN TO THE HCLSE DURING THE
FIRST WEEK AFTER THE EASTER RECESS. 'vIHATEVER LENGTH
OF TIME IS REQUIRED, THE PRESIDENT WILL FINALLY PRE-
VAIL,
SALVADOR, AND SAN JOSE iiITH GEN. GALVIN,
5, ABRAMS SAID THAT PRESIDENT REAGAN WANTED TO THANK
PRESIDENT DUARTE FOR THE LATTER'S HELP AND ENCOURAGE-
MENT DURING THE DEBATE IN CONGRESS. EL SALVADOR,
ABRAMS ADDED, IS A MODEL FOR THE TYPE OF DEMOCRATIC
CHANGE THE U.S. WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
AS LITTLE AS TWO YEARS AGO, HE NOTED, EL SALVADOR
WAS A HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECT; "NOW IT IS A
CONSENSUS ISSUE." VIRTUALLY EVERYONE IN THE
REGION AND IN WASHINGTON HAS ENDORSED PRESIDENT
DUARTE'S COURAGEOUS OFFER TO SIT DOWN WITH HIS OWN
INTERNAL ARMED OPPOSITION PROVIDED THE SANDINISTAS
DO THE SAME WITH THEIRS. ABRAMS SAID PRESIDENT

SUHJECT: VISIT BY PRESIDENTIAL DELEGATION HEADED BY
REAGAN HAD MADE A POINT OF ASKING TI-AT ABRAMS THANK
PRESIDENT DUARTE FOB EVERYTHING DUARTE HAS DONE .-
N01 JUST IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, BUT OVER PAST YEARS.
be ABRAMS WENT UN TO UESCRIBE BRIEFLY EVENTS IN
wASH1NGTON OF THE LAS1_SEVERAL WEEKS CULMINATING
IN-OUR CONCERN THAT UU_R-ALLIES IN THE REGION WOULD
BF NERVOUS ABOUT U.S. STEADFASTNESS FOLLOWING THE
NEGATIVE VOTE IN THE CONGRESS YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
ABRAMS SAID THE U.S. WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
PEOPLE IN THE REGION MOST DIRECTLY CONCERNED UNDER-
STAND THAT NEITHER PRESIDENT REAGAN NOR HIS GOVERN-
MENT ARE AMBIVALENT ABOUT THE OUTCOME; THE U.S. IS
DETERMINED TO SEE THAT THE NICARAGUAN RESISTANCE GETS
THE-AID IT NEEDS, HE SAID WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT
THE COSTA RICAN BORDER TALKS WITH NICARAGUA AND
ADDED THAT THE DELEGATION PLANNED TC FLY ON TO SAN
JOSE THIS AFTERNOON TO DISCUSS THE SITUATION WITH
PRESIDENT MONGE. HE NOTED THAT SOME U.S. CONGRESS-
MEN-HAVE BEEN BEWILDERED AND ANGERED BY PRESIDENT-
ELECT ARIAS' STATEMENTS AGAINST AID FOR THE
NICARAGUAN DEMOCRATIC RESISTANCE.
7. ABRAMS VOLUNTEERED THAT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF
PRESIDENT DUARTE WERE TO BE WILLING TO MEET WITH
MEMBERS OF UNO as REVELO, CALERO, RIVERA, AND CRUZ,
ALTHOUGH ABRAMS NOTED THAT CRUZ WAS PRESENTLY IN
EUROPE. DUARTE SAID HE WOULD BE PLEASED TO MEET
tPJIIH UNO, NOTING THAT HE HAS ALREADY RECEIVED
CALEB!), REVELO AND CRUZ SEVERAL TIMES, AND ALSO
PASTORA. ABRAMS NOTED THAT THE SECRETARY HAD TOLD
PASIORA WE WERE WILLING TO HELP HIS FORCES, PROVIDED
THAT THEIR OPERATIONS WERE CLEAN, FREE OF DRUGS, AND
COMMITTED TO THE RESIORAIION OF GENUINE DEMOCRACY
IN NICARAGUA, DUARTE SAID HE HAD, IN FACT, RECEIVED
A TELEX FROM UNO YESTERDAY ASKING FCR A MEETING
WITH HIM, AND HE HAD REPLIED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE;
IT WM1ODULD MEAN POSSIBLE NEGATIVE PUBLICITY FCR DUARTE,
BUT HE SAID "I DON'T MIND: I HAVE ND DOUBT THAT THEY
ARE t'JORKING FOR DEMOCRACY IN NICARAGUA."

8, PRESIDENT DUARTE EXPRESSED APPRECIATION TO PRESI-
DENT REAGAN FOR HAVING SENT THE DELEGATION TO SAN
SALVADOR. HE SAID HE AND HIS ADVISCRS HAD BEEN
PROFOUNDLY CONCERNED BY THE NEGATIVE OUTCOME OF THE
VOTE IN CONGRESS, BUT SAID HE ACCEPTED AT FULL FACE
VALUE ABRAMS' REASSURANCE THAT THE PRESIDENT IS
DETERMINED TO PRESS ON TOWARD ULTIMATE VICTORY --
APPROVAL OF FUNDING FOR THE ANTI-SANDINISTA FORCES
STRUGGLING TO RESTORE DEMOCRACY IN NICARAGUA. HE
SAID THAT WHILE HE WAS GRATEFUL FOR THE PRESIDENT'S
KIND WORDS ABOUT HIS OWN ROLE IN CENTRAL AMERICA,
"WHATEVER WE HAVE DONE HERE IS SMALL IN COMPARISON
WITH NHAT THE UNITED STATES HAS DONE. WE WILL NOT
FORGET THAT WHEN WE WERE STRUGGLING TO PRESERVE
THE POSSIBILITY OF OUR MAINTAINING CUR FREEDOM,
YOU (THE US) CAME ALONG AND GAVE US A HAND." RE-
FERRING TO MOD GENERAL VIDES, SEATED TO HIS LEFT,
DUARTE SAID "OUR ARMED FORCES HAVE FOLLOvED A
STRAIGHT LINE IN THE DEFENSE OF DEMCCRACY AND
UNDERSTAND THAT EL SALVADOR WILL ONLY RECEIVE U.S.
HELP IF THEY CONTINUE TO FOLLOW A STRAIGHT LINE."
DUARTE WENT ON TO ADD THAT HE HAD ALWAYS TOLD
AMERICAN VISITORS AND INTERLOCUTORS, INCLUDING THE
MANY CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS WITH WHOM HE FAS
SPOKEN IN RECENT WEEKS, THAT HE DID NOT VWISH TO BE
DRAWN INTO INTERNAL AMERICAN POLITICAL DEBATES --
BUT AT THE SAVE TIME HE HAD TOLD THEM THAT THEY
SHOULD BE IN NO DOUBT THAT HE REGARDED THE ANTI-
SANDINISTA FORCES AS A BARRIER TO MANAGUA'S SUPPORT
FOR SALVADORAN GUERRILLAS, AND THAT ANYTHING VWHICH
AIDED THE NICARAGUAN RESISTANCE CONTRIBUTED DIRECTLY
TO EL SALVADOR'S STRUGGLE TO DEFEAT A COMMUNIST-
SPONSORED INSURGENCY IN THIS COUNTRY,
9. DUARTE PROCEEDED TO BRIEFLY DESCRIBE HIS OVEN
PLANS FOR FURTHER ACTION TO PUT PRESSURE ON THE
SANDI14ISTAS, AND RESTORE TO THE CENTRAL AMERICAN
COUNTRIES A GREATER MEASURE OF CONTROL OVER THEIR
OWN AFFAIRS, PROGRESSIVELY PRUNING BACK THE IN-
FLUENCE OF THE MEXICANS, COLOMBIANS, BRAZILIANS,

DUARTE SAID HE INTENDS TO SUGGEST TC HIS CENTRAL
AMERICAN PRESIDENTIAL COLLEAGUES THAT THEY INVITE
THE FIVE NATIONAL ARCHBISHOPS TO THE FORTHCOMING
CENTRAL AMERICAN SUMMIT MEETING IN ESQUIPULAS.
DUARTE SAID HE EXPECTED THAT ORTEGA MOULD TURN THE
PROPOSAL DOvN, BECAUSE TO ACCEPT MOULD SIMPLY ADD
TO THE PRESSURE ON THE SANDINISTAS. HE ADDED THAT
THE POINT OF HIS PROPOSAL FOR A CENTRAL AMERICAN
PARLIAMENT WAS PRECISELY TO PROVIDE ANOTHER EX-
CLUSIVELY CENTRAL AMERICAN FORUM IN VUICH THE
SANDINISTAS WOULD BE REPEATEDLY REPLDIATED BY
CENTRAL AMERICANS THEMSELVES. AMBASSADOR CCRR
ASKED WHETHER PANAMA WOULD BE INCLUCED IN THE
ESQ'JIPULAS SUMMIT, NOTING THAT IF IT v:ERE, IT COULD
TIP THE INTERNAL REGIONAL BALANCE AGAINST THE
DEMOCRACIES, SINCE PANAMA HAS A NON-CENTRAL
AMERICAN AGENDA OF ITS OHN AND WOULC JOIN I%ITH
THE GUATEMALANS AND SANDINISTAS TO TAKE A POSITION
INIMICAL TO THAT OF COSTA RICA, EL SALVADOR At' !D
HONDURAS. FOREIGN MINISTER CASTILLC CLARAMCUNT
SAID PANAMA HAD NOT BEEN INVITED TO THE ESGUIPULAS
MEETING, BUT PRESIDENT DEL VALLE SAID HE WANTED
TO BE. DUARTE AND CASTILLO CLARAMCLNT BOTH AC-
KNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM WITH PANAMA, AND DUARTE
ADDED (WITH SOME EMPHASIS THAT HIS PRINCIPAL CURRENT
GOAL -- AND THE EXPLICIT PURPOSE FOR HIS FORTHCOM-
ING TRAVEL TO BRAZIL, URUGUAY AND ARGENTINA -- VAS
TO TRY TO MOUNT COUNTERVAILING PRESSURE AGAINST
THE MEXICANS, PANAMANIANS, AND COLONBIArS -- AND
TO RESTORE CONTROL OVER CENTRAL AMERICAN MATTERS

AS AN ASIDE THAT HE HAD ORIGINALLY CECIDED AGAINST
GOING TO PERU BECAUSE OF ALAN GARCIA'S EFFORTS TO
INJECT HIMSELF INTO THE CENTRAL AMERICAN PRCRLEN,
BUT GARCIA "VROTE ME SUCH A NICE LETTER THAT I FELT
I COULDN'T TURN HIM DOMJ'N."
10. ABRAMS CONCLUDED BY REPEATING HIS CONVICTION
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION WOULD ULTIMATELY PIN ITS
EFFORT TO PERSUADE CONGRESS TO FUND ASSISTANCE
TO THE ANTI-SANDINISTA ARMED OPPOSITION, HE SAID
"THE PRESIDENT IS ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED NOT TO
LEAVE THE SOVIET UNION DOMINANT IN CENTRAL AMERICA;
NE WILL NEVER ALLOV. THAT." AMBASSADOR NOTED THAT
THE U.S. ADMINISTRATION HAS NEARLY THREE YEARS LEFT
IN OFFICE, AND THUS HAS AMPLE OPPORTUNITY REMAINING
TO FORCE CHANGE INSIDE NICARAGUA. REFERRING TO
U.S. CONCERNS ABOUT BILATERAL DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN
COSTA RICA AND NICARAGUA ON THE FRONTIER ISSUE,
CASTILLO CLARAMOUNT SAID HE HAD RAISED THE PATTER
WITH COSTA RICAN PRESIDENT-ELECT ARIAS AND HIS
FOREIGN MINISTER-DESIGNATE MADRIGAL, WHO ACKNOv=LEDGED
FULLY THE DANGER IN ALLOWING THE CENTRAL AMERICANS
TO BE PICKED OFF ONE AT A TIME BY THE SANDINISTAS IN
BILATERAL DEALINGS; ARIAS SAID COSTA RICA WAS FULLY
COMMITTED TO THE PRINCIPLE OF MULTI-LATERALISM
AND WOULD NEVER ABANDON ITS DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL
AMERICAN PARTNERS FOR THE SAKE OF NARROW SOLUTIONS
ON BILATERAL ISSUES. DUARTE HAD EVINCED SKEPTICISM,
AND SAID HE HIMSELF HAD TOLD ARIAS "IT WOULC BE A
FATAL MISTAKE FOR US TO BE PICKED OFF ONE BY ONE
IN BILATERAL NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE SANDINISTAS." HE
SAID ARIAS HAD REASSURED HIM' AS WELL THAT HE (ARIAS)
WAS AS DEDICATED AS EVER TO THE PRINCIPLE CF DEMO-
CRATIC CENTRAL AMERICAN SOLIDARITY.
