FIRST MAJOR VENTURE IN LATIN AMERICAN POLICY, HAS TAKEN A NEW TACK
IN SEEKING A SOLUTION TO THE DELICATE PROBLEM OF UNITED STATES
INVESTMENTS ABROAD.
SPEAKING.THURSDAY AT THE OPENING OF A THREE-DAY CONFERENCE WITH 24
LATIN AMERICAN FOREIGN MINISTERS,'THE AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY CHIEF
PROPOSED THE FORMATION OF A "FACT-FINDING" BOARD OF IMPORTANT
HEMISPHERIC FIGURES TO HANDLE DISPUTES INVOLVING U.S. COMPANIES.
ONE DELEGATE PRESENT AT THE CLOSED-DOOR MEETING SAID THE BOARD
WOULD TRY TO RESOLVE DISPUTED NATIONALIZATION OR EXPROPRIATION MOVES
AGAINST U.S. COMPANIES AND THUS AVOID GOVERNMENT-TO-GOVERNMENT
CONFRONTATIONS.
"KISSINGER EXPLAINED THAT WHILE COUNTRIES HAVE THEIR OWN
RESPONSIBILITIES, THE U.S. ALSO HAS A POLICY OF PROTECTING
U.S.'COMPANIES ABROAD. SO THERE IS OFTEN A PROBLEM*" HE SAID.
ONE DELEGATE SAID KISSINGER HAD PRESENTED "SOME SOUND IDEAS, BUT
THEY MUST BE STUDIED." BUT OTHERS WERE UNHAPPY BECAUSE HE HAD
SEIZED THE INITIATIVE AT A CONFERENCE THEY EXPECTED TO DOMINATE.
"KISSINGER PRESENTED SOME THINGS THE FOREIGN MINISTERS WEREN'T
PREPARED FOR, SUCH AS THE FACT-FINDING BOARD IDEA, AND.THEY DON'T.
KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT," A DELEGATE SAID.

OPEN TO INTERIM SOLUTIONS OF ITS DISPUTE OVER THE 200-MILE
FISHING 'LIMIT ENFORCED BY ECUADOR, PERU AND CHILE. HE ALSO
