2The Daily Tar HeelMonday, January 29, 1990 World and Nation Panamanians app u ayd Quayle visit From Associated Press reports PANAMA CITY, Panama Vice President Dan Quayle was cheered by churchgoers whose priest welcomed the U.S. military invasion, and the new government's leaders said American troops still are needed to help stabilize the country. While the cont inued presence of the U.S. troops has rankled other Latin nations, Panama's new president, Guill ermo Endara, said the occupying troops are needed until Panama can get its police force operational. Peruvian President Alan Garcia has refused to attend the Feb. 15 drug summit in Colombia with President Bush unless the U.S. invasion forces are out of Panama. But Endara said Sunday that other Latin leaders should "think of the Pana manian people and what they want." Quayle met with leaders of Panama's new government to discuss Bush's $1 billion economic recovery package and the withdrawal of occupying troops in what he said would be a matter of weeks. Endara had sought $2 billion in U.S. assistance. In a television interview, Quayle said the issue of the U.S. military invasion of Panama "is behind us" and that it is time to focus on the future of Panama. The Bush economic recovery pack age includes loan guarantees through the Export-Import Bank and a variety of U.S. emergency relief assistance to help Panama pay its foreign debt, re cover its economy and help businesses and other victims recover from the U.S. invasion and subsequent fighting. The focus of discussion shifted somewhat, however, as Endara said his country needs some U.S. troops to remain until the new national police force is operational. "At this moment, we have not the police. Our forces are not quite capable of protecting the life, property and public order as the Panamanian people want," Endara told reporters outside morning church services. "But we hope 'SMtyh' IRISHPUBLRESTAURANT Now featuring English & Irish Pub Style Dinners at $g5 & $5.95 MONDAY Irish Stew (made with, dark import beer) j.qS BBQ Chicken 5.95 TUESDAY Shepherd s Pie (authentic English recipe) -4-95 Country Style Steak 5.g5 WEDNESDAY BBQ Pork Chops 5.95 Chicken Pot Pie 4-95 THURSDAY Corned Beef &.

Endara said his government does not want to plan to build a new army, but will keep only a police force. Quayle repeated that he sees the withdrawal of invasion troops within weeks. A senior official traveling with Quayle said it would likely be within two weeks that the current 17,000 member force is reduced to the 13,000 pre-invasion level. U.S. officials have said they have no plans to cut back below the 13,000 troop level. At the packed Cristo Rey Church, the pro-American congregation cheered Quayle. One person held a sign read ing, "Gringos don't go home." Some in the well-dressed crowd wore T-shirts with the words "Operation Just Cause" the name Bush gave the operation. They enthusiastically applauded Quayle when he entered the Roman Catholic Church with Endara and his two vice presidents. People crowded into the aisles to shake his hand as he made his way to the front row. The Rev. Javier Villanueva, whose weekly anti-Noriega sermons were well known before the Dec. 20 invasion, told the congregation the Bush admini- i I - V; s 1 M 3 Dan Quayle stration recognized Panamanian suf fering and helped eliminate it by driv ing out Noriega. He said other Latin nations who deplored the invasion never did any thing to help Panama's situation. Quayle said outside the church serv ice that the reaction of the people was "very gratifying."

(above RiteAid) 942-0251 Budget director predicts critical views of Bush plan From Associated Press reports WASHINGTON On Sunday, President Bush prepared to send Congress a $1.23 trillion 1991 spend ing plan that his budget director said contains no general tax increase and which he predicted will be "criti cized unfairly" on Capitol Hill. With many details already known about the budget, which will be re leased Monday, Democratic lawmak ers are complaining that it fails to address the deficit seriously and that its defense cuts are too timid. White House Budget Director Richard Darman on Sunday blasted what he said was "an awful lot of hypocrisy" and "posturing" by law makers about the administration's plans. "We're about to start an annual ritual, which is regrettable," Darman said on NBC-TV's "Meet the Press." Budget director releases essay WASHINGTON There he goes again. Richard Darman has mounted his bully pulpit to deliver another hellfire and brimstone lecture against gamesmanship when some would argue that President Bush's budget director is the champion of all times in that arena. In a 15-page essay that will be in cluded in the president's budget when it is released Monday, Darman chas tises Congress for trivializing the historic changes occurring in East ern Europe, rails against "wonder- News in Brief land budgeting" gimmicks and chal- lenges lawmakers to get serious about attacking the problems facing the country. Even the existence of the essay, titled "The Director's Introduction to the Budget," is unusual. Normally, presidential aides go out of their way to make sure that the centerpiece of attention when the administration's budget is sent to Congress is the president's annual budget message. Ethnic warriors discuss truce MOSCOW Armenian and Azerbaijani fighters began withdraw ing from a key battlefront on Sunday, and the bitter enemies agreed to dis cuss extending the truce to other parts of the volatile region, activists re- -ported. The Armenian National Move ment agreed to conditions demanded by the Azerbaijani People's Front for peace talks that are to begin Wednesday in Riga, Latvia, accord ing the Latvian People's Front, which is sponsoring the talks. Both sides now say they will dis cuss troop withdrawals, refugees and other humanitarian concerns, but not the pivotal territorial dispute that triggered the hostilities, said Artis Erglis of the Latvian People's Front.
