Opposition rejects two Duarte proposals
The Associated Press
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — President Jose Napoleon Duarte's proposal to postpone the presidential election, as demanded by the Senate on Tuesday day by the opposition-controlled Legislature.
In a nationwide television address Sunday, Duarte proposed a cease-fire and direct negotiations with the insurgents today in Guatemala. He also called for postponement of the Mar. 19 election to Apr. 30 — a date the rebels have rejected as too early.
The unicameral Legislative Assembly is controlled by the rightist Republican Nationalist Alliance, or Arena. The rightists, who are favored to win the presidency from Duarte's Christian Democrats, adamantly have rejected any postponement of the vote.
Ricardo Alvarenga, president of the Assembly and an Arena leader, said at a news conference that the election date was set and must be fulfilled.
Rebel leader Salvador Samayoa said in an interview that Duarte's problem had problems
The FMLF originally had called for elections in September, but then said it would accept a vote in July.
and evident loopholes, but that his group, the Farabundo Marti Liberation Front, would resound positively.
The United States has hailed Duarte's proposal.
Durate's term expires June 1. The 63-year-old leader, who is suffering from terminal liver failure, is expected to die within the next year.
"In our judgment, this is potentially the most
significant opportunity ever for peace in El Salvador, particularly the commitment of the government of El Salvador to undertake a cessation of hostilities if the FMLF agrees within 48 hours," said State Department spokesman Charles Redman in Washington.
Duarte acknowledged Sunday that there would be constitutional problems with a delayed election but suggested that those problems could be resolved by an accord involving the three branches of government or by a plebiscite.

WASHINGTON — The economy will slow substantially in 1989 with rising inflation and higher interest rates likely to topple the country into a recession for a year, the nation's top business economists predicted yesterday.
The Associated Press

The new survey was taken before the latest report of credit-tightening by the Federal Reserve Board.
But by lopsided numbers, the economists were still predicting that the most likely date for the start of the next recession would be 1990.
