right in each situation.What, asked another American, did the critics of the U.S. want it to do? Should it agree to disarmthose fight ing against a totali tarian takeover? Why was it considered militarization to provide a shieldlong enough to pursue a negotiation that would lead to the disarming of all sides? True, the U.S. hadmade some mistakes in the region in the past. But the Reagan Administration's rhetoric had beeninfinitely worse than its policies. It had strenuously opposed the death squads and had insisted onland reform and free elections. Negotiated settlements in both El .Salvador and Nicaragua werepossible. The U.S. did not want a Cuban or a Soviet solution, but nor was it seeking an Americansolution. What it wanted, and what Europe should support it in achieving, was a center solut ion, onethat reflected the aspirations of the people of Central America.

At the end of the last session, the Chairman thanked all those whose generous and effi cient effortshad contributed to the success and enjoyment of the conference. He especially mentioned theSwedish hosts, headed by Sten Gustafsson, supported by the professional conference staff; theauthorsof working papers and moderators of discussion sessions; the interpreters; the Secretaries-- General and the Bilderberg secretariat; and the hotel and security personnel.
