It recounts reactions from U.S. officials and major newspapers, arguing that congressional and public opposition is forcing the Executive to adjust. The document weighs likely flashpoints in Panama, Argentina, Peru, and Nicaragua, linking domestic political calculations to human-rights campaigns, economic leverage, and Cold War alignment concerns.","WASHINGTON  \n13 October 1979  \nDear Sir:  \nNumber 1804  \n\"Secretary of State Vance had been intouch,\"U.S.officials confirmed,\"withofficials of other governments and hadexpressed his concern over some of theissues to be addressed at the summit(of non-aligned nations)and our concernover the form in which these issues weregoing to be presented.\"  \n…UPI  \n\"Many delegates abstained from openlyattacking the United States BUT NONE ROSETO DEFEND IT.…None had the courage tosupport ever so mildly the United States.\"...The New Republic.  \nHere is a list of the Latin American nations that believe that Castro'sTHE COMINGCuba is a non-aligned nation,that declined to accept Secretary of StateCHANGE INVance's plea to reject the Cuban campaign to direct the non-aligned move-POLICYment away from genuine independence into a pattern of collaboration withthe Soviet Union:Argentina,Bolivia,Peru,Nicaragua,Panama.  \n## A change in policy is coming.\n\nIf you are lending in Latin America or are making direct investments,youshould comprehend the change in climate of opinion that is building in Washington,whichmeans that the Executive is finally being forced to understand what congressional andpublic opinion had long been insisting upon in their familiar opposition to foreign-aidand concealed foreign aid through stockpile decisions and the like.  \nWhen the Philadelphia Inquirer reviews the anti-U.s.actions of the LatinAmerican nations at the Havana meeting and concludes that the Administration must makeclear that \"the U.S.is under no obligation,moral or otherwise,to alter its policies(to conform with the Castro \"consensus\")under the ILLUSIONARY hope of satisfying thosethird-world countries implacably hostile to it,\"  \nWhen the Washington Post,another liberal proponent traditionally ofindiscriminate foreign aid,gives up the ghost and asks that we stop making excusesfor the hostile countries when they show their true feelings and that we must no longerbase policy \"on assumptions of fundamental under-the-skin camaraderie\",  \nWhen editorial opinion in the United States thus joins the overwhelmingbody of public opinion,there is reason to forecast that what the New York Times spokeof critically as the realization at Havana that \"it is possible to condemn Washingtonwithout fear of real reprisal and to utter nonsense in full confidence that powerfulAmerica will indulge the weak\"is a fading concept.  \nWhat is coming is what Senator Tsongas defines as \"they must face theconsequences of their hypocrisy,\"and what Senator Moynihan,another 1iberal,insistsmust force this country to face up to the fact that the \"obscene acts\"of the membernations at Havana had made them \"servile apologists for every act of Soviet totalitar-ianism.\"  \nA weekly lette for barinesmen pmbisbd privadly imWasbingtom,D.C.  \nIn more practical terms,the debate on Panama and on Cuba in the Houseis revealing that a turnover of 15 votes in the next election will make confrontationon this issue certain.  \nThe task then is to guess where the first blow will fall:  \nPanama?  It is generally agreed that if the Canal Treaties had come upPANAMA?at this session of the Congress,the bills would have been defeated.
