Secretary Shultz names Langhorne Motley as Enders replacement. A State report alleges large Soviet bloc intervention to back Cuba modeled governments. The 1982 report notes Cuba funded a leftist party and provided weapons and training to Costa Rican leftist terrorists with multiple caches discovered.

Salvadoran Training Set At Old Honduran Base
The United States will reactivate a World War II base at Puerto Castilla in Honduras next month to train about 2,400 Salvadoran soldiers. About 100 U.S. personnel will join four battalions of Salvadoran infantry, as Washington seeks a cheaper alternative to U.S. or El Salvador training. The move deepens Honduras ties to U.S. efforts to curb Marxist guerrillas in Central America amid questions on wider involvement.
