By Jay Mathews
Washington PoatStaff Writer
LOS. ANGELES, ,Sept, ?30-Jesse
L.. Jackson said today he plans to
meet with Latin American leaders
in.Panama in two weeks to consider
..ways to bring peace 'to Central
America.
Jackson told. TheWashington
Post before his arrival here that he
would attend the Oct. 11 inaugu-
ration of new Panamanian President
Nicolas Ardito-Barletta. While in
Panama, he said, he will meet with
representatives of the Contadora
group-Mexico, Venezuela, Colom-
bia and Panama-on their efforts to
find a political solution to fighting in
Nicaragua and El Salvador.
Jackson said that in his campaign-
ing for Democratic candidates he
plans to make much of alleged at-
tempts within the Reagan admin-
istration to slant ; CIA reports on
Latin America and its explanations
of the causes of bombings of U.S.
facilities in Beirut.
"The doctoring and altering of
government documents," he said,
referring to a former analyst's com-
plaint that his reports on political
stability in Mexico were changed by
higher-ups, "were somewhere be-
tween perjury and treason."
