Washington AP reports resistance by some members to paying special assessments for the inter American peacekeeping force threatens a financial crisis in the OAS. Senators authorized 25 million of 55 million for Latin American military aid, with Mexico Venezuela Chile and Uruguay signaling objections to OAS quotas tied to the force. Brazil leads Latin troops in Santo Domingo. U.S. forces total about 14,000. The move hints at a precedent for a permanent OAS force to handle future emergencies in the Western Hemisphere.
