Haig says talks on Mexican plan for El Salvador progress
Secretary Haig after two hour talks with Mexico's Leon Castaneda described the discussion as positive and said modifications were proposed to make the plan acceptable to the United States. He indicated a follow up meeting next week and did not rule out Cuba and Nicaragua talks. The Mexican plan seeks a negotiated El Salvador settlement, a US Nicaragua non aggression pact, and Cuba talks to ease tensions. Castaneda offered Mexico as mediator. Haig stressed stopping arms to insurgents and promised new evidence by Wednesday alleging Cuban and Nicaraguan direction of Salvadoran guerrillas.
