Although the President announced the cancellation of the exercise as needed to help the Coast Guard insure maritime safety in the Cuban refugee sealift. it is clear to me that foreign opposition played a role in the decision. These events justify the belief of many that President Carters response to the presence of a Russian combat brigade in the Western Hemisphere is itself far tougher on paper than it is in fact. I ask unanimous consent to have printed in the RECORD a translation of a Spanish language story which appeared in La Estrella de Panama on May 3. 1980. and related articles. and an article from the Pittsburgh Press of May 21. 1980.
