The liquidity balance also showed a 4.5 billion deficit, the worst since late 1971.

Cuba opens to talks on halting hijackings with US
Cuba stated it would keep a constructive position toward a bilateral pact with the United States to stop airline hijackings. Havana's message, broadcast in Miami, cites Cubans who fled to the US as early hijackers and calls for any nation willing to exchange hijackers for refugees to engage in negotiations. The FAA and airline officials report probes into the hijacking aboard the DC-9 with three armed men. Passengers say they were not searched and a walkie talkie detector was used only selectively. An FAA fine potential exists if security procedures were ignored. Continued coverage promised.
