Early Warning Signals (Pastor)
Panama
The Negotiators are planning to make a trip to Venezuela and Colombia
next week to discuss the status of the negotiations with the two Presidents,
Those visits, coupled with erroneous press reports of the testimony of
Ambassadors Bunker and Linowitz before the House Merchant Marine and
Fisheries Committee, may conceivably evoke a negative reaction in
Panama. Public opinion there might interpret the visits as an attempt
to pressure Panama to accept a Treaty permitting us some form of
perpetual rights on neutrality — not an inaccurate interpretation.
Cuba I
The Cuban community in Miami is likely to begin heating up with the
increase in press reports andrumors about U.S .-Cuban discussions.
Terrorism in any form should be met with an immediate and sharp
Presidential response. Otherwise, the terrorists will succeed in
frightening all those Cubans (and there are great numbers), who
believe there is a need for a new U.S . policy.
