Central American policy issues also made demands on the Administration. Significantly, a U.S. official met with the political leadership of El Salvador's leftist rebels last week. In Washington, the bipartisan commission charged with recommending long-range U.S. policy concerning the often neglected nations of Central America began its deliberations, taking testimony from two former Presidents and four retired Secretaries of State. And in the background loomed the U.S.-Soviet talks about Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF), due to pick up again in Geneva this week, and Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START), scheduled to resume next month...

In Washington, the measure has strong bipartisan support and is expected to pass both the Senate and the House in this session. One index of its acceptability: a leading sponsor is Arizona Democrat Bob Stump, who has never voted for a wilderness bill during his seven years in the House...
