President José López Portillo of Mexico feels that tension in the region could be reduced through direct discussions between Washington and Havana. Said he last week: "I am absolutely certain that Cuba is willing to negotiate all the questions worrying the security of the U.S." Haig and Cuban Vice President Carlos Rafael Rodriguez met secretly last November in Mexico City, and Haig indicated in his Senate testimony last week that there have been other secret discussions.

From Ronald Reagan's first day on the job, photographs and clandestine reports have flowed across his desk every morning, convincing this President that a revolution in the Caribbean has been coaxed and fed by Moscow and Havana.

Earlier this month, President Dos Santos met with Cuban Foreign Minister Isidore Malmierca Peoli in the Angolan capital. They agreed that Cuban troops would be withdrawn from Angola "as soon as all signs of possible invasion" from South Africa have stopped. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State...
