Americas Stand Alone Statements" to the Foreign Ministry's
Director of Multilateral Affairs, Julio Garro, and Action
Officer for the OAS and Summit of the Americas, Romulo
Acurio, on 1024.


2. Garro said that he thought Peru would likely support the
"Joint Commercial/Labor Declaration," and thought it should
have no difficulty achieving consensus. With respect to the

Peru could support it, questioned whether Bolivia has been
consulted (Polcouns replied that this was being done),and
expressed doubts that Venezuela would join consensus on the
sections dealing with Nicaragua and Haiti.
