Talks with Cuba reach an impasse The Associated Press
NEW YORK—U.S. and Cuban negotiators met briefly yesterday, but Cuban negotiators didn't respond to a U.S. proposal to admit at least 20,000 legal Cuban immigrants each year. The two sides appeared far from an accord on halting the exodus of Cubans fleeing across the Straits of Florida on makeshift rafts and boats.
David Johnson, representative for the U.S. delegation, told reporters after 50 minutes of talks that the Cuban side hadn't responded to the U.S. offer made Monday. The United States previously had offered to admit a "ceiling" of 20,000 Cuban immigrants.
Cuban negotiators would not comment.
Refugees relocated to Panama
The Associated Press
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — The first Cuban refugees to be moved out of the overflowing tent city on this U.S. military base were put aboard planes yesterday for Panama. All 100 were volunteers.
"We approached the Cuban camp leaders and told them of our plans, and 100 came up immediately," said Marine Lt. Pete Mitchell, a representative for the joint military group running the Guantanamo refugee camp.
Cubans are being transferred to refugee camps in the jungles of Panama to make room at the naval base for more of their countrymen.
Many of the Cubans flown to Panama aboard two Air Force C-130s held hands and embraced as they waited to board. They said they were optimistic that conditions at the Panama refugee camp would be better than in Guantanamo and that it would be easier to stay in touch with their relatives
from Panama.
The Cubans going to Panama didn't make much of a dent in the numbers being held at this U.S. base, where Cuban boat people have been taken since mid-August, when the United States reversed its policy of automatically granting asylum to Cuban refugees.
More than 1,000 American troops are helping move refugees from Guantanamo to a jungle clearing seven miles west of Panama City, Panama.
Atroll call yesterday, 23,231 Cubans were being housed at Guantanamo, and 3,720 more were in route after being picked up from rafts and small boats in the Straits of Florida.
Make an impression
Four campsites are being built in Panama to accommodate up to 10,000 Cubans, Pentagon representative Dennis Boxx said. He said about $38 million would be required to shelter the Cubans in Panama.
Panama agreed to shelter the refugees for six months.
