U.S. envoy begins tour
NZPA Washington Richard Stone, the newly, installed American special envoy for Central America, was leaving today on a 12day mission to the area with a mandate to promote peace, democracy and economic development. After receiving a warm send-off at his swearing-in from the American Secretary of State, Mr George Shultz, Mr Stone was due to arrive in El Salvador < the first stop on his 10-nation fact finding journey. The American State Department said that Mr Stone’s mission was to carry to the countries of the area “the full support of the United States for regional efforts to achieve peace.” Included in Mr Stone’s itinerary is a June 10 visit to Nicaragua, which the United States asserts is an obstacle to peace because of its alleged support for Salvadorean rebels. The planned visit to Managua will represent a rare high level diplomatic contact between the United States and the Sandinist Government, which recently has been engaged in a spreading armed struggle against American backed insurgents.
