Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

PASS USTR FOR AGASH E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: OIIP, KPAO, ETRD, HO, USTR SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION ON ROBERT ZOELLICK'S VISIT TO CENTRAL AMERICA, OCTOBER 1, 2003 1. Editorial in Tegucigalpa-based liberal daily "La Tribuna" on 10/1 entitled "Softening". "This week, USTR Robert Zoellick is visiting Central America in an attempt to convince the regional governments of the need to make progress on CAFTA negotiations." "In addition, Zoellick will try to dissuade Guatemala and Costa Rica from taking part in the G-22, which includes other Latin American countries led by Brazil. This group proposed the total elimination of agricultural subsidies during the latest WTO meeting in Cancun, an issue that has been a nuisance for Washington." "During his trip to the region, Zoellick will meet with the Central American presidents, the Ministers of Economy, Congressmen, CAFTA negotiators, businessmen and civil society representatives, trying to soften the position of these sectors by stressing the benefits Central America will obtain through a free trade agreement with the U.S." Palmer
