Other deadlines also press. Come September, the presidential term of Eric Arturo Delvalle expires. Though he was forced from office by Noriega 14 months ago, the U.S. continues to recognize the exiled Delvalle as the legitimate President, and has used that handy fiction to withhold $86.5 million in fees collected by the Panama Canal Commission. Bush must decide what to do with those funds, which are legally owed to Panama.

In theory, Panama is governed by a constitutionally elected President, but President Eric Arturo Delvalle discovered otherwise last February when he tried to fire General Manuel Noriega and found himself ousted instead. Next month Chileans will have an opportunity to vote in a national plebiscite for or against a continuation of the 15-year-old authoritarian regime of General Augusto Pinochet. A no vote...
...Reagan Administration turned against him last February, when the swaggering strongman was indicted on drug-smuggling charges by two Florida grand juries. Since then Washington has tried and failed to force Noriega out with economic sanctions and to shift power to a civilian government headed by ousted President Eric Arturo Delvalle. Now, it seems, the State Department is focusing on a different man and a different strategy. The man: Lieut.
