That much was clear as the initial cease-fire deadline came and went last week without anyone proclaiming the plan a failure. During separate trips to / the U.S. last month, Ortega and Honduran President Jose Azcona Hoyo had warned that they would no longer feel bound by the accord if cease-fires, amnesties, cut-offs of foreign aid to rebels, and other goals were not achieved on schedule. Yet both men remained committed to the proposal, even as rebel violence continued in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala. The White House had planned to use the failed deadline to push...
Honduran President Jose Azcona Hoyo's visit to Washington last week received especially close scrutiny. Of the accord's five signatories, Azcona is most mindful of the Reagan Administration's reservations about the plan. Two weeks ago, Azcona hinted strongly that if the Sandinistas fail to comply with all the requirements of the peace plan by the Nov. 5 cease-fire, he would no longer feel bound to abide by the accord. Last week, however, he encouraged President Reagan to withhold further military aid to the contras at least until January, when the five Presidents will evaluate the plan...
...Bravo, Nicaragua's Roman Catholic Primate. "There's a new mood in Central America now," Arias told TIME. "I hope President Ortega will revise his position and accept dialogue."

Last week Honduran President Jose Azcona Hoyo told visiting Congressman Kemp that he thought the peace accord did not preclude continued U.S. aid to the contras. "Hondurans would really like a regional peace agreement, but they also want to maintain good relations with the U.S., and right now the two seem mutually exclusive," says a Western diplomat in Tegucigalpa. "So they are hanging on to the U.S. trapeze, too frightened to let go and try to catch the Central American trapeze...
...better part of the past year, hundreds of Sandinista troops have wandered in and out of Honduras, looking for the rebel forces known as contras. And for most of that time, the Honduran military has looked the other way. On Dec. 6, however, Honduran President Jose Azcona Hoyo shattered that arrangement by ordering his air force to strafe the Nicaraguan positions inside the country. Later that day, Azcona summoned U.S. Ambassador Everett Briggs and urgently appealed for U.S. logistical support. President Reagan responded promptly, authorizing an airlift. Last week U.S. troops flying twin- rotor Chinooks and Huey helicopters ferried hundreds...
