Alarm over the Acre proposal, first aired in January, has been so strong that President George Bush reportedly asked Japanese Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita to clarify whether his government had any plans to finance the highway.

But there was little cause for worry. When Noboru Takeshita became the first foreign leader to hold a face-to-face meeting with the new President, the 2 1/2-hour session was as mild as Washington's 60 degrees F February weather.
