GOMEZ MARTINEZ ONCE MORE INSISTED TODAY ON &amp;quot;AN IMMEDIATE DIALOGUE &amp;quot;
BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND THE COCAINE TRAFFICKERS &amp;quot;TO END THE WAR I N
WHICH INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED. &amp;quot;
THE MAYOR REITERATED HIS POSITION WHEN HE COMMENTED ON THE ATTAC K
IN WHICH 20 PERSONS WERE KILLED AND APPROXIMATELY 100 WERE INJURED ,
WHICH WAS PERPETRATED YESTERDAY BY TERRORISTS ON THE DRUG CARTEL'S
PAYROLL NEAR ITAGUI MUNICIPALITY .
THE BLAST FROM THE EXPLOSION HIT A TRUCK FULL OF POLICEMEN, WHO HAD
EARLIER CARRIED OUT AN ANTI-MAFIA OPERATION IN A PEASANT VILLAGE, AS
WELL AS SEVERAL PUBLIC BUSES, HOUSES, AND BUSINESSES .
A POLICE EXPERT SAID THAT THE CAR BOMB (CONTAINING 300 KG O F
DYNAMITE) WAS ACTIVATED BY REMOTE CONTROL AS THE ELITE FORCE PATRO L
PASSED BY.
ACCORDING TO GOMEZ MARTINEZ, &amp;quot;THESE ACTIONS WILL ONLY CEASE WHE N
(PRESIDENT VIRGILIO BARCO VARGAS') GOVERNMENT PUTS ASIDE SO MUC H
PREJUDICE AND AGREES TO THE PEACE TALKS,&amp;quot; PROPOSED BY THE SUBVERSIVES .
&amp;quot;THE DIALOGUE WILL TAKE PLACE SONNER OR LATER, AND IT IS BETTER T O
START NOW,&amp;quot; INSISTED THE MAYOR OF MEDELLIN, A CITY WHERE THE WORLD' S
MOST POWERFUL CARTEL HAS ITS BASE OF OPERATIONS .
THE CHIEF OF THE CRIMINAL GANG, PABLO ESCOBAR GAVIRIA, ORDERED THE
ASSASSINATION OF MEDELLIN POLICEMEN IN RETALIATION FOR TH E
GOVERNMENT'S ACTION AGAINST THE DRUG TRAFFICKERS . TWENTY-EIGHT
POLICEMEN HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THIS CITY OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS .
ACCORDING TO SECURITY ORGANIZATIONS, YESTERDAY'S ATTACK &amp;quot;COULD B E
ESCOBAR GAVIRIA'S RESPONSE TO THE ARREST OF ADOLFO MESA MENESES,&amp;quot; HI S
RIGHT-HAND MAN.

VILLAREAL] [TEXT] THE CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES JOINT CHIEFS OF STAF F
[COLONEL RENE EMILIO PONCE] HAS CATEGORICALLY DENIED THAT THERE AR E
ANY RIFTS BETWEEN SALVADORAN ARMY OFFICERS AND U .S. MILITARY ADVISERS,
AS ASSERTED BY THE WASHINGTON POST. THE NEWSPAPER STATED THAT THE
ALLEGED RIFT BETWEEN THE MILITARY OFFICERS BEGAN ONCE IT WA S
DISCOVERED WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF SIX JESUIT PRIESTS, IN
WHICH ONE COLONEL, TWO LIEUTENANTS, AND SIX SOLDIERS ARE BEIN G
CHARGED.
COLONEL PONCE SAID THAT THE RELATIONS WITH U .S. ADVISERS -- ABOUT
52 IN THE COUNTRY -- ARE VERY CORDIAL.

    <Paragraph position="0"> [BEGIN RECORDING] [PONCE] OUR RELATIONS WITH THE NORTH AMERICAN S ARE NORMAL AS USUAL. THE U .S. ADVISERS HAVE HELPED US VERY MUCH IN THE PROFESSIONALIZATION OF THE ARMED FORCES, AND THEY CONTINUE WORKIN G WITH US.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> [REPORTER] WHERE DO YOU THINK THESE WIRE REPORTS STATING THERE ARE RIFTS BETWEEN SALVADORAN MILITARY OFFICERS AND U .S. ADVISERS HAVE ORGINIATED? [PONCE] I DO NOT KNOW; I CANNOT UNDERSTAND . THERE ARE ALWAYS THOSE WHO TRY TO BREAK THE STRATEGIC ALLIANCE BETWEEN THE SALVADORA N GOVERNMENT AND ARMED FORCES AND THE UNITED STATES . THIS IS A POOR D-2 COUNTRY THAT DEPENDS A GREAT DEAL ON U .S. ECONOMIC AND MILITARY AID. [REPORTER] FOLLOWING THE MURDER OF THE JESUITS, WHAT ARE RELATION S LIKE BETWEEN THE SALVADORAN MILITARY AND THE GRINGO ADVISERS ? [PONCE] AS USUAL, THESE RELATIONS ARE VERY CORDIAL, AND THE Y CONTINUE TO WORK WITH US . AS YOU CAN SEE, TWO ADVISERS ARE HERE WIT H ME NOW AT THE TABLE PRESIDING OVER THE EVENT . THE SAME HAS BEEN THE CASE WITH ALL THE UNITS IN THE COUNTRY 'S INTERIOR. I FAIL TO SEE ANY DIFFERENCE IN RELATIONS BEFORE AND AFTERWARD . [END RECORDING] THE MILITARY CHIEF REPEATED THE NEED TO MAINTAIN THE STATE O F EMERGENCY, NOT ONLY DUE TO THE GUERRILLA ATTACKS, BUT ALSO TO KEEP CONTROL OVER THE ORGANIZATION FRONTS JUST PRIOR TO AN EXPECTED WAVE O F PROTESTS ON THE LATEST GOVERNMENT ECONOMY MEASURES .</Paragraph>

WE MUST THINK WHAT THE REACTION OF THE PEOPL E OR THE FMLN [FARABUNDO MARTI NATIONAL LIBERATION FRONT] ORGANIZATION FRONTS WILL BE, AS THEY ALWAYS USE ANY EXCUSE TO DISRUPT DOMESTI C ORDER. IT WOULD BE GOOD TO LOOK INTO WHAT IS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN DOMESTIC ORDER IN THE COUNTRY . [END RECORDING ] THE HIGH-RANKING MILITARY OFFICER GAVE THESE STATEMENTS AT TH E CEREMONY TO TURN OVER COMMAND OF THE CAPTAIN GENERAL GERARDO BARRIO S MILITARY ACADEMY. THE NEW COMMANDER IS COLONEL RICARDO ALFONS O CASANOVA SANDOVAL, WHO REPLACES COLONEL GUILLERMO ALFREDO BENAVIDE S MORENO, REMOVED FROM HIS POST AFTER BEING ACCUSED OF ORDERING TH E</Paragraph>

THE FIRST OBSTACLES OF A SERIOUS CRISIS, THE FUTURE IMPLICATIONS AN D
REPERCUSSIONS OF WHICH WE STILL DO NOT KNOW. I THEREFORE WANTED TO
CONVEY A MESSAGE OF HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO EVERY CHILEAN, TO SHO W
THEM MY FEELINGS AT THIS TIME OF DEEP REFLECTION .
FROM THE VERY MOMENT I LEARNED ABOUT THIS TERRORIST ECONOMI C
AGGRESSION, I ORDERED THE CREATION OF FOUR MINISTERIAL COMMISSIONS TO
TACKLE THE PROBLEM . I ALSO SENT TWO MINISTERS TO THE UNITED STATES TO
MEET WITH U.S . GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS . Al'1 ER TIRING SESSIONS OF TALKS ,
THESE MINISTERS MANAGED TO OVERCOME A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THE GRAP E
PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM AFFECTING OTHER FRUITS REMAINS TO BE SOLVED.
THIS NEW ATTACK AGAINST THE CHILEAN NATION, AN ATTACK THAT DESTIN Y
HAS PLACED IN THE NATION'S PATH OF FREEDOM, PROGRESS, AND WELL-BEING ,
COMPELS US TO CLOSE RANKS BEHIND THE GOVERNMENT, UNIFIED AND READY T O
FIGHT -- WITH COURAGE AND HIGH SPIRIT -- THE PROBLEM THAT FACES US .
ON THIS OCCASION THE COUNTRY HAS SEEN HOW THE COUNTLESS THREATS T O
BOYCOTT THE NATIONAL ECONOMY HAVE WORKED . MOST OF THE TIME SUCH
THREATS HAVE BEEN PROMOTED BY CERTAIN POLITICIANS, LABOR LEADERS, O R
COMMUNIST LABOR UNIONS, BOTH AT HOME AND ABROAD . THEY ARE THE ONES WH O
