Too Much Tape Ambassador Attacks Aid Programs
Washington AP. Joseph S. Farland resigning as ambassador to Panama said U.S. aid to Latin America would work better with more regard for individual dignity and less bureaucratic planning. He cited red tape, poor aid administration, Washington control, and grandiose planning after three years in Panama. AID disputed his claims noting all projects had full ambassador approval. Farland, 49, a Clarksburg WV native, is a former FBI agent and Morgantown lawyer who may run for office but has no plans. He resigned Aug 2 amid Kennedy-era disagreements but insists he can serve without bureaucratic restraint. He criticized alliance programs as not a huge success and cited roadbuilding in Panama as an example of wasteful planning. He urged simpler roads costing about 5,000 dollars per mile with Panamanians doing most work instead of costly, survey-heavy highways.
