Under the agreement, the loyalist and rebel sides accepted a provisional government headed by Dominican Diplomat Hector García-Godoy, who will serve until elections are held in six to nine months. Both sides received a general amnesty and in turn promised to put their troops under the command of the provisional President. The provisional government was also to "begin negotiations at once" with the OAS for the withdrawal of the 12,000-member peace-keeping force-mostly U.S.-still in the Dominican Republic...

The other junta members, more responsive to the sentiments of old-line army men who remember bloody clashes with the Apristas in the 19305, were not so sure.
