When U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker and the other members of the OAS team drove to rebel headquarters, crowds that had booed a few days before now were silent. Caamaño suggested only a few changes in the proposals.

At OAS headquarters in Washington, U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker urgently advised Latin Americans to honor their pledge for a multination military force to help the U.S. keep order.
