1 11 ANNOUNCER: This is "Evening Edition." Now, from Washington,
here is Martin Agronsky.
MARTIN AGRONSKY: Good Evening.
It's a curious paradox in American diplomacy, since the Second
World War, that the United States has been less successful in improving
its relations with our Latin American neighbors than with almost any other
part of the world. The. "Good Neighbor Policy" has been proclaimed, and
often, but it hasn't really worked?very well.
Now two more major controversies are troubling the U.S.-Latin
American relationship. One is in Panama where at meetings of the U.N.
Security Council in Panama City, the Panamanians are demanding loudly
and angrily that the U.S. give up control of the Panama Canal and very
quickly. And on Capitol Hill hearings are underway to determine the role
played by ITT, an American corporation, in an alleged effort to undermine
political affairs in Chile.
Now in both cases the U.S. appears to be in for a rough time,
and tonight on "Evening Edition," a discussion of the relations between
the U.S. and her Latin neighbors with Democratic Congressman Dante Fascell
of Florida, who chairs the House Subcommittee on Inter-American Affairs;
Democratic-Congressman Michael Harrington of Massachusetts, who also sits
on this Committee, and Professor James Theberge of Gdorgetown University,
who specializes in Latin American Studies, and is with the Institute for
Strategic and International Studies.
But first, with the headline news, Bob i:ur.
Gentlemen, do you think the United States has followed a good
policy in our dealings with Latin America?
