Reagan to Visit Honduras Amid Refugee Tensions
President Reagan plans a Honduras trip where he may press President Roberto Suazo Cordova on Salvadoran refugee protection. U.N. staff report harassment by Honduran troops at refugee centers La Guarita and La Virtud, while camps La Colomancagua El Tesoro and San Antonio shelter about 7,000 refugees near active border operations. The situation risks a permanent border closure and a no man’s land outcome.
