...called Contadora process, a four-year, Latin American effort to negotiate a Central American settlement that still sputters on without appreciable result. Both plans call for a region-wide cease-fire and an end to outside military assistance to all guerrilla groups, including the rebels in El Salvador and the contras.

Two days before De la Madrid arrived, President Jose Napoleon Duarte of El Salvador slipped unannounced into Santo Tomas, some 30 miles south of the capital, where Cerezo has a country retreat. The Duarte visit, which no doubt included discussion of the region's problems, was part of Cerezo's intricate diplomatic skein. Last month Cerezo met with President Daniel Ortega Saavedra in Nicaragua. The Sandinista leader reiterated his refusal to negotiate with the U.S.-backed...
