The Reagan Administration, which halted $78.7 million in aid to Haiti after last November's bloodbath, acknowledged that the voting was not "fully free and open" but noted that the U.S. "is gratified that these elections took place in an atmosphere free of violence."

Kicking off the affair with what he called a "progress report," Chairman Roger Smith, 62, asserted that GM is rebuilding consumer confidence in its cars with competitive pricing, superior technology and eye-catching style.
