Peck's personalizing of the debate was a touching surprise in what many critics saw as an orchestrated compromise on the gay-ban issue conducted by committee chairman Sam Nunn.

General Raoul Cedras, leader of the armed forces, and his Prime Minister Marc Bazin have agreed to accept up to 400 international observers who are supposed to deter human rights violations and create a climate for free political activity.
