Immigration talks with Cuba end in failure over radio claim
U S Cuban negotiations in Mexico City collapsed as Cuba demanded clear channel radio frequencies for Cuban broadcasts. State Department officials said talks aimed to revive the 1984 immigration accord, which proposed returns of about 2,700 excludables and admission of political prisoners, but failed after Cuba’s insistence on major changes to U S broadcasting. The talks were prompted by Cuba’s suspension of the agreement in 1985 after Radio Marti began broadcasting to Cuba. Senator Edward Kennedy had urged renewed talks to facilitate a restart.

Ag Interests Attack Central America Aid Plan
Agriculture leaders condemn a $300 million aid package linking military help for Nicaraguan rebels to food aid funding shifts. They warn unspent Food for Peace and Africa relief funds could bolster Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Costa Rica instead of aiding hunger relief. Senator Melcher and Senator Harkin press Reagan to stop freezes on food aid as U.S. farm exports sag.
