NCLosuREs: Agenda
Mr. Tom Travis, Chairman of the Miami Congressional Workshop, has
requested to be placed on the February 14th Commission meeting agenda
to report on the results of the Miami Congressional Workshop.-. The
following information is to background the Commission on the recent
event.
Background
Based upon a resolution passed by the City of Miami's International
Trade and Development Committee, the City Commission adopted
Resolution No. 84-1290 on November 8, 1984 allocating a sum not to
exceed $13,605 to the "Miami Congressional Workshop" to cover the
event's existing budget shortfall in the event the private sector
could not raise all of the required funds. The resolution further
stipulated that if the private sector contribution exceeded $13,605,
the City of Miami's contribution toward this event would be
proportionately reduced.
The "Miami Congressional Workshop" was patterned after the seven-year
old Harvard University's "Program for Newly -Elected Members of
Congress". The Harvard program pinpoints some of the major public
issues that new members of Congress will be facing in the areas of
taxes, the economy, the Middle East, the defense budget and arms
control.
The "Miami Congressional Workshop" was designed to:
1) Provide members of Congress with information that should enhance
their decision -making and directely benefit U.S. business and
commercial interests in Latin America and the Caribbean --
regions that are of vital importance to Florida.

2) Provide a forum for interaction among Miami's leading
businesspersons and educators and the ranking members of
Congress, as well as with national local and foreign experts on
Latin America that attend the event.
3) Expose and identify Miami as a major center of international
activity.
4) Provide an opportunity for Miami area businesses engaged in
international trade to promote their products and/or services,
legislation, and concerns, as well as to inform themselves of
major developments related to the Latin American and Caribbean
markets.
Workshop
The "Miami Congressional Workshop" sponsored by the Greater Miami
Chamber of Commerce, the University of Miami, Florida International
University and the International Center of Florida was held •at the
Key Biscayne Hotel and Villas from December 28 - 30, 1984. The two
and one-half day program provided newly -elected members of the United
States of the United States Congress with intense briefings and
comprehensive information on political, economic, business and
security issues facing the United States in Latin America and the
Caribbean.
Eleven members of Congress attended the workshop and speakers
included ranking members of Congress, national, local and foreign
experts on Latin America and also the President of Panama, the
Honorable Nicolas Ardito Barletta.
Press coverage was extensive and reactions from participants were
extremely positive. Fund-raising efforts are already underway for
next year's event.

MIAMI CONGRESSIONAL WORKSHOP
on
Political. Economic and Security
Issues in the westem Hemisphere
December 28, 1984
Dear Miami Congressional Workshop Participant:
Thomas G. Travis
Chairman
Welcome to Miami and the Miami Congressional Workshop. Our
committee is extremely pleased that you are attending our
workshop on the political, economic and security issues in the
Western Hemisphere. As representatives of our National
legislature you will have an impact on the important policy
issues facing the United States. We hope that the extensive
briefings and comprehensive information presented at our two
day event will enhance congressional, awareness and
understanding of the problems and opportunities that face U.S.
political and business interests in the region.
We believe, Miami, as the gateway to Latin American trade,
is the ideal location for this Workshop. For years, Miami has
been the home of American and multinational Latin American
operational headquarters. As participants at the Miami
Workshop you will have an opportunity to interact with busi-
nessmen, elected officials and educators drawn from institu-
tions located in Greater Miami.
The Miami area has reaped tremendous economic benefits from
our close Latin American commercial connection. Miami
International Airport is second only to John F. Kennedy Airport
in New York in terms of the movement of international cargo and
International passengers. • The city's reputation as an inter-
national banking center is established and growing, and no
American city rivals Miami for the cultural diversity of its
population. Workshop participants can tour Miami's Little
Havana and experience a Latin American environment without
leaving the U.S. for Bogota or Caracas.

Concurrent with the Workshop, a separate spouses program
will be presented. The purpose of this program is to fami-
liarize congressional spouses on "Life in Washington".
The Workshop coincides with the Orange Bowl festivities,
one of America's preeminent events. After the Workshop conclu-
des, you will have ample opportunity to relax at the deluxe Key
Biscayne Hotel and Villas -- the site of the Workshop.
Participants and their spouses are invited to attend the New
Year's Eve Orange Bowl Parade and the Orange Bowl Game, New
Year's Day.
On behalf of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, the
University of Miami, Florida International University, the
International Center of Florida and the corporate sponsors, we
wish to thank you again for your attendance at the Workshop.
Should you have any questions or requests please do not hesitae
to call upon me or our Workshop Committee Staff.

Eight may not'sound like many,

so might Miami's.
The Harvard program lasts a
week and encompasses virtually
every major domestic and Interna-
tional issue. By contrast, Miami's
program concentrates on a more -
narrow regional focus, but that's
its strength. It provides Insight
into how problems of thli region
affect the entire United States. At
least that's what several congress-
men who attended It said.
"These things hit us In our own
districts." observed Thomas J.
Manton, a Democrat who now
represents the Queens, N.Y., dis-
trict formerly held by Geraldine
Ferraro. "Refinancing of debt.

on. "You're not unique." he said of
South Florida. "There seems to be
a feeling here that It's your

ening In New York too. What
the seminarl has done for me Is
provide a rationale for understand-
ing wily it's happening, what's
happening in the countries they're
fleeing.".
Manton gained his new under-
standing through two day -long
seminars. Guest speakers included
Panamanian President Nicolas Ar--
dito Barletta, former CIA Director
William Colby, and Arturo Cruz. a
prominent opposition leader from
Nicaragua. Renowned academi-
cians from New York. Washing-
ton, and Miami also appeared.
Including Susan Purcell of the
Council on Foreign Relations, An-
6—
thony Maingot of Florida interna-
tional University. and Ambler
Moss, dean of the University of
Miami's Graduate School of inter-
national Studies. Miami's Rep.
Dante Fascell, chairman of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee.
and Rep. Bill Frenzel, a Minnesota
Republican steeped In tax and
trade policy. helped to round out
the program with congressional
expertise.
"The thing that's striking Is how
close South Florida is to Central
America." noted Rep. Joseph J.
DloGuardl. Republican of New
York.
iilS words underscore one key
benefit of these sessions: They
help to attune members of Con-
gress to Miaml,and South Florida,
to the region's special character,
needs, and potential.
"I'm very Impressed by Miaml."
said Rep. Richard Stallings. an
Idaho Democrat. "1 had no idea it
was moving In the direction It Is,
the Latin American connection. its
Industrial and financial capital."
It would be easy to dismiss this
two-day session as a Junket. but to
do so would be shortsighted. To be
sure. spending three ail -expenses -
paid days on Key Biscayne during
the Orange Bowl weekend Isn't
exactly hardship duty. But by all
accounts. these new congressmen
worked. They even skipped a
Sunday -night party on Fisher Is-
land to keep a spirited seminar
going.
"They listened. They took notes.
They participated." said Ambler
Moss. "We were extremely
pleased with the results, and so
was Dante Fascell."

funds to stage this year's work-

done like everything else in Mi-

Anything that educates members

president of Panama
seeks 'reconciliation'
with political foes
By GUY GUGLIOTTA
Herald Stuff Writer
Panamanian President Nicolas
Ardito Barletta said in Miami
Saturday that his 2 1-month-old
government seeks 'reconciliation
and compromise" to find a solu-
tion to the nation's economic crisis
and to streamline its public admin-
istration.
"I. have a commitment to at-
tempt to put aside differences and
to correct some of the mistakes of
the past." Ardito Barletta said.
"We are here (in the presidency)
to foster reconciliation and com-
promise in the direction of con-
structive change."

tion denounced as fraudulent by
the opposition and many outside
observers.
He had returned to Panama
early in 1984 to run as the
military -backed official candidate
after eight years in Washington as
a World Bank vice president.
Ardito Barletta. who was inau-
gurated Oct. 11. said his govern-
ment continues to maintain "close
consultation" with the Panamani-
an Defense Force and its com-
mander. Gen. Manuel Antonio
Noriega, but that the military has
"now retreated to a secondary
position."
His remarks on reconciliation
and compromise came after the
government's withdrawal of a
new tax package that provoked
widespread discontent and street
demonstrations in Panama.
Ardito Barletta acknowledged
serious political divisions within
the country but claimed that
Panama's major difficulties lie in
strengthening public service and
solving an economic crisis that has
left the country with a S3.5 billion
foreign debt and a 5.5 percent
budget deficit.
He said he hoped to close the
deficit to 4.2 per cent of govern-
ment expenditures in 1985 and 2.4
per cent in 1986.
To do this. he attempted early in
his administration to reduce gov-
ernment spending and raise taxes
through the proposed "Law 46"
which was withdrawn because of
the furor it provoked. '
Ardito Barletta said he had
decided to ask for solutions
"through a process of consulta-
tions." leading to a new package
to be developed by the Legislative
Assembly.
"This strategy has the advan-
tage of Introducing wider sectors
into an open dialogue on how best
to solve the problem." Ardito
Barlettactsaid. He added that he
expected the assembly to outline
the new measures over the next
few weeks.
Others briefing the congressmen
during the two-day workshop at
the Key Biscayne Hotel and Villas
are William Colby. former CIA
director. Arturo Cruz. a former
member and now a leading critic
of Nicaragua's Sandinista govern-
ment; Rep. Dante Fascell, D-Fla..

Senate Foreign Relations Commit-
tee; and Siegfried Marks. chief
economist for Esso later -America.
Patterned after a similar pro-
gram at Harvard University. the
Miami Congressional Workshop
was organized by local attorney
Tom Travis.

MIAMI TODAY
WEEK OF THURSDAY. JANUARY 3,.1985
Panama president asks U.S.
to help Latins economically
By MICHAEL HAYES
Panamanian President Nicolas
Ardito Barletta told freshmen U.S.
Congressmen in Miami this
weekend that the United States can
safeguard emerging democracies in
Latin America by helping spur the
region's ailing economies.
Mr. Ardito Barletta, a World
Bank via president until shortly
before becoming Panama's
president October 11. spoke at the
first Miami Congressional
Workshop to brief eight newly
elected members of the upcoming
99th Congress on Latin America.
President Ardito Barletta said
"it is of mutual interest to the
United States and the Latin
American countries to explore
further areas of cooperation —
because certainly the United States
could benefit by increasing trade in
the short run, and in the long run
by seeing the strengthening of
democratic governments
throughout Latin America."
More needs to be done, he said,
to reschedule Latin American
foreign debt on easier terms to
contain the current net outflow of
financial resources, but the most
critical point is a sustained world
economic recovery that would
ensure expansion of trade.
"If the U.S. economy were to
slow down over the next 18
months, it would have a very
negative impact on the Latin
American countries," he said.
Another keynote speaker at the
workshop was Arturo Cruz, a
former member of Nicaragua's
Sandinista regime and now one of
its most outspoken opponents.
Mr. Cruz. who was instrumental
in overthrowing the Anastasio
Somoza government and went on
join the five man. Sandinista -led
revolutiunary junta in Managua,
served briefly as Nicaraguan
ambassador to the U.S. in 1981
beture hreaktnR with the San-
dinistas. whom he saw as becoming
totalitarian and Marxist -oriented.
A broad -based alliance of political
parties, labor organizations and
business and professional groups
nominated him for the presidency
in last July's elections, but he
withdrew, claiming the elections
were a sham designed to preserve
the Sandinistas in power.
. In an interview, Mr. Cruz said
the guerrillas and he have the same
aim — to bring democracy to his
country — although they have
chosen to resort to armed conflict.
"Those who, like me, are in
favor of a peaceful political way
out have to recognize that the
opposition to the Sandinistas in
order to be successful in their
negotiations have to negotiate from
a position of strength," he added.
Therefore it is absurd to deprive the
Nicaraguan opposition of that
armed arm which gives it the
strength."
Mr. Cruz said he was contacting
Nicaraguan exiles in Miami during
his visit here and planned to return
to Managua this weekend "to
exchange impressions with some of
the leaders of the opposition"
there. He said he was gang solely
in a personal capacity and not
representing any political party or
group.
The workshop was sponsored by
the Greater Miami Chamber of
Commerce, University of Miami,
Florida International University
and the International Center with
support from the City of Miami
and Metro -Dade Commissions. the
City of Coral Gables. Florida
International Bankers Association
and several major local businesses.
Organizer Tom Travis, a partner
in the Miami law firm of Sandler
and Travis, said the workshop to
complement more generalized
briefings for freshmen
Congressmen held for the past 12
years at Harvard.
