The state regulates and taxes and measures a large portion of the economy, but an increasing portion evades the state, and is perceived in terms of an embarassment, even a nuisance. The concept thus highlighted in many ways the rupture between the state and civil society. The distinguishing feature of the informal sector lies in its constant juxtaposition to the formal. It is used as a descriptive device. Thus many analysts focussed on the mix of activities that define the nonstate regulated occupations. Others seeking to escape the construct's explicit resemblance to modernization's bipolarities e.g. traditional versus modern treated it as a set of processes, e.g. "a process of income generation" but nonetheless characterized by its unregulation. Still others cited the restructuring of capital, or the unintended consequences of state policy. In spite of the diversity of studies on the informal sector, the troubling aspect remained their enduring similarity, manifest in their inability to transcend that construct. The use of the concept presupposes dualism, and the view that the informal sector was indeed an aberration of capitalist development. This proposed volume will seek to transcend current invocations of that construct. Contributions will draw upon studies that focus on the multidimensional character of capitalism. That is to say they will treat the informal sector as intrinsic to capitalism and not as an aberration or a deviation from the formalization of wage relations globally. Thus the focii will encompass market relations, the retaliations of working peoples against the state, as well as the countless configurations of capitalist production as it encounters specific communities of the world with their own peculiar societal configurations. Thus the papers will highlight the multilinear even erratic movement of capitalist development and offer new insights for the reconstruction and tracing of the zig-zags of the working of capital, and the varied responses and initiatives of working peoples. Through theoretical discourse as well as case studies, the papers in this volume will therefore seek to make manifest the inadequacies of the construct "informal sector". Papers should be 35 pages long including bibliography and all illustrations. Please include a brief biography. The deadline for submission of abstracts of at least one page in length is May 18th. You will be notified within two weeks whether your paper has been accepted and of the deadline for the final paper.

After oscillating between weak democratic regimes and dictatorships through most of the postwar period, nations in Latin America underwent a general shift toward the adoption of electoral democracy in the 1990s. These political changes were accompanied by the adoption of new development strategies that pursued growth through economic restructuring, an expansion of exports, and a shift away from import-substitution industrialization. Together, these new developments have reformulated the relationship between states, enterprises, and households, altering the social and institutional landscape of Latin America. We are, however, in the midst of these transformations: Their character, interrelationship, and future development are all subjects of intense controversy. To what extent has democratization brought greater effective freedom to citizens in Latin America? What are the limits and constraints of economic restructuring? What is the relationship between democratization and restructuring? What is the character of social transformations, and how will they impinge upon future institutional developments? Although our conference will focus on Latin America, these questions address broader fundamental changes currently affecting the world-economy, challenging us to identify regional developments as tied to global cycles and trends. To address these issues, the conference organizers are particularly interested in scheduling sessions that address the following principal themes: a. The Persistence of Authoritarianism or Deepening Democratization? In order to understand current political transformations in Latin America, we seek to analyze these developments in a historical perspective. What are the institutional changes that have accompanied processes of democratization? Have democracies changed the culture of institutions such as the military over the past decade? What is the current regional status of human rights? What are the persistent differences and similarities across the region? b. The Social Construction of Commodity Chains: States, Enterprises and Households. Current efforts at economic restructuring in Latin America have entailed new relations between states, enterprises and households. What is the nature of these new relations? How have these new relations altered the character of these three arenas? Has the emergence of a new entrepreneurial ethos accompanied economic restructuring? What has been the regional evolution of social stratification over the past decade? What can we learn from micro and macro approaches to this theme? c. New Regional and Conceptual Boundaries: Economic, Political and Cultural Flows. The past decade challenged existing boundaries in Latin America. What has been the evolution of migration? Have capital flows acquired a new character? To what extent have trade agreements resulted in the creation of new institutional arrangements between and within states? What will be the appearance of these boundaries as we approach the year 2000? d. Terrains of Confrontation: Social Movements and Categories of Identity. The relationship between social movements and current transformations in Latin America is not clear. What has been the role of social movements over the past decade in Latin America? Has the development of new categories of identity strengthened or weakened social movements? e. Regional Differences and Commonalties. What is the role that Latin America has played and will play in the world-economy? Has it been, is it now, will be an important locus of the world accumulation of capital, or has it been, is it now, will it be relatively marginalized? How do the trends addressed in this conference relate to concurrent developments elsewhere in the world-economy (e.g., Eastern or Southern Europe)? What theoretical approaches and concepts have proven most useful in analyzing these transformations? The conference will be held on April 20-22 1995 at the North-South Center (University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida). We will consider papers focused on particular countries, but we strongly encourage submissions that examine Latin America as a whole or in its relation to other regions of the world-economy.

The purpose of the letter is to express a number of user concerns about the future of Internet pricing. NSF recently announced that is awarding five key contracts to telephone companies to operate four Internet "Network Access Points" (NAPs), and an NSF funded very high speed backbone (vBNS). There have been a number of indications that the telephone companies operating the NAPs will seek permission from NSF to price NAPs services according to some measure of Internet usage. The vBNS is expected to act as a testbed for new Internet pricing and accounting schemes. The letter expresses the view that metered pricing of Internet usage should be avoided, and that NSF should ensure that the free flow of information through Internet listserves and file server sites is preserved and enhanced. jamie love, Taxpayer Assets Project (love@essential.org; but unable to answer mail until May 15).

You have indicated that NSF is awarding contracts for four NAPs, which will be operated by telephone companies (Pac Bell, S.F.; Ameritech, Chicago; Sprint, NY; and MFS, Washington, DC). We further understand that NSF has selected MCI to operate its new very high speed backbone (vBNS) facility. There is broad public interest in the outcome of the negotiations between NSF and the companies that will operate the NAPs and vBNS. We are writing to ask that NSF consider the following objectives in its negotiations with these five firms: PRICING. We are concerned about the future pricing systems for Internet access and usage. Many users pay fixed rates for Internet connections, often based upon the bandwidth of the connection, and do not pay for network usage, such as the transfer of data using email, ftp, Gopher or Mosaic. It has been widely reported on certain Internet discussion groups, such as com-priv, that the operators of the NAPs are contemplating a system of usage based pricing. We are very concerned about any movement toward usage based pricing on the Internet, and we are particularly concerned about the future of the Internet Listserves, which allow broad democratic discourse on a wide range of issues. We believe that the continued existence and enhancement of the Internet discussion groups and distribution lists is so important that any pricing scheme for the NAPs that would endanger or restrict their use should be rejected by the NSF. It is important for NSF to recognize that the Internet is more than a network for scientific researchers or commercial transactions. It represents the most important new effort to expand democracy into a wide range of human endeavors. The open communication and the free flow of information have make government and private organizations more accountable, and allowed citizens to organize and debate the widest range of matters. Federal policy should be directed at expanding public access to the Internet, and it should reject efforts to introduce pricing schemes for Internet usage that would mimic commercial telephone networks or expensive private network services such as MCI mail. To put this into perspective, NSF officials must consider how any pricing mechanisms will change the economics of hosting an Internet electronic mail discussion groups and distribution lists. Many of these discussion groups and lists are very large, such as Humanist, GIS-L, CNI-Copyright, PACS-L, CPSR-Announce or Com-Priv. It is not unusual for a popular Internet discussion group to have several thousand members, and send out more than 100,000 email messages per day. These discussion groups and distribution lists are the backbones of democratic discourse on the Internet, and it is doubtful that they would survive if metered pricing of electronic mail is introduced on the Internet. Usage based pricing would also introduce a wide range of problems regarding the use of ftp, gopher and mosaic servers, since it conceivable that the persons who provide "free" information on servers would be asked to pay the costs of "sending" data to persons who request data. This would vastly increase the costs of operating a server site, and would likely eliminate many sources of data now "published" for free. We are also concerned about the types of accounting mechanisms which may be developed or deployed to facilitate usage based pricing schemes., which raise a number of concerns about personal privacy. Few Internet users are anxious to see a new system of "surveillance" that will allow the government or private data vendors to monitor and track individual usage of Information obtained from Internet listserves or fileserves. ANTI-COMPETITIVE PRACTICES We are also concerned about the potential for anti- competitive behavior by the firms that operate the NAPs. Since 1991 there have been a number of criticisms of ANS pricing practices, and concerns about issues such as price discrimination or preferential treatment are likely to become more important as the firms operating the NAPs become competitors of firms that must connect to the NAPs. We are particularly concerned about the announcements by PAC-Bell and Ameritech that they will enter the retail market for Internet services, since both firms were selected by NSF to operate NAPs. It is essential that the contracts signed by NSF include the strongest possible measures to insure that the operators of the NAPs do not unfairly discriminate against unaffiliated companies. Recommendations: As the Internet moves from the realm of the research community to a more vital part of the nation's information infrastructure, the NSF must ensure that its decisions reflect the needs and values of a much larger community. 1. The NSF contracts with the NAPs operators will include clauses that determine how the NAP services will be priced. It is important that NSF disclose and receive comment on all pricing proposals before they become final. NSF should create an online discussion list to facilitate public dialog on the pricing proposals, and NSF should identify its criteria for selecting a particular pricing mechanism, addressing the issue of how the pricing system will impact the Internet's role in facilitating democratic debate. 2. NSF should create a consumer advisory board which would include a broad cross section of consumer interests, including independent network service providers (NSPs), publishers of Internet discussion groups and distribution lists, academic networks, librarians, citizen groups and individual users. This advisory board should review a number of policy questions related to the operation of the Internet, including questions such as the NAP pricing, NAP operator disclosure of financial, technical and operational data, systems of Internet accounting which are being tested on the vBNS and other topics. 3. NSF should solicit public comment, though an online discussion group, of the types of safeguards against anticompetitive behavior by the NAPs which should be addressed in the NSF/NAPs contracts, and on issues such as NAPs pricing and Internet accounting systems. --------------------------------------------------------------------- TAP-INFO is an Internet Distribution List provided by the Taxpayer Assets Project (TAP).

I plan to use Mickey Kaus or Lawrence Mead on the "right", Chris Jencks on the techno-center-left, and Wilson himself representing a social democratic take. Is there a marxist address to the issues raised? Is there a serious treatment of the persistence of poverty/relation to race thesis apart from the rather heated attacks on Wilson? FYI, I am aware of, and will probably use Massey's work. I look forward to your help.

Katz, Pinceton, 1993. Is useful, although not a necessarily left view. It is all over the map politically (ssrc sponsored), but has many useful historical articles digging into the roots of the underclass, and tries to center the debate in Katz's on history of the development of a distinction between the deserving and undeserving poor. That latter, of course, being those folks "society" deems unworthy of support. His own article traces some the origin and transformations of this distinction that is sometimes implicit, but often explicit in public discourse. The collection certainly provides a good deal of material that would be useful for "grounding" a discussion of the underclass in social history. tom hall thall@depauw.edu From wingalls@atc.boeing.com Fri May 13 16:16:59 1994 Received: from atc.boeing.com (atc.boeing.com [130.42.28.80]) by csf.Colorado.EDU (8.6.4/8.6.4/CNS-2.0) with SMTP id QAA07755 for ; Fri, 13 May 1994 16:16:57 -0600 Received: by atc.boeing.com (5.57) id AA01036; Fri, 13 May 94 15:18:46 -0700 From: Wayne Ingalls Received: by temptations.boeing.com (4.1/SMI-3.0DEV3) id AA03260; Fri, 13 May 94 15:16:52 PDT Date: Fri, 13 May 94 15:16:52 PDT Message-Id: <9405132216.AA03260@temptations.boeing.com> To: WSN@csf.colorado.edu Subject: Mission Earth Announcement Status: OR ----------------------------------------------------------------- MISSION EARTH is an Activity of the Society for Computer Simulation International which should be of interest to everyone concerned with our future on this earth.

Yes, they did, in the Late Republic very conspicuously, but not in ways familiar to us. Precapitalist ruling-exploiting classes maximized the means of violence rather than revenue. Meaning, that they maximized access to state office or accumulated warrior-retainers on the spot or both, depending on the polity's placement on the state-feudal continuum. Revenues were what the exploiter lived off, but precapitalist labor systems all involved direct-dependence forced labor one way or another, and as the means of violence directly guaranteed the exploitative relation, it was inevitable that much the same people owned or controlled sources of revenue and were the principal actors in politics. Divisions of labor and diversity of careers within the ruling- exploiting class were restricted: Exclusion from the contest for power meant loss of possessions and fortune in short order. Even in the Middle Ages, the embryonic bourgeoisie faced such considerations, seeking either entrenched power in their cities or the favor of monarchs to guarantee sizable amounts of wealth; and even the Medici went out of the banking business to become popes and grand dukes. The Roman Republic was a highly legalistic polity from beginning to end, with a small, pretty much hereditary, ruling-landowning class in solid control. Like all exploiting classes, the Roman periodically generated factional disputes between Deadwoods and Newbloods. Deadwoods are pedigreed people, whose grip on political power is hallowed by their appeal to Tradition and established precedent, which is of great importance to a conservative ruling class, as all non-revolutionary ruling classes were. Deadwoods do not, in history, represent the most efficient forms of exploitation or the most rapacious accumulators of property. Newbloods, in history, do represent the latter qualities, and must secure their wealth by political means as quickly as possible, in the meantime being liable to accusations and confiscations by their rivals for corruption. Where struggles for power get most intense, Deadwoods and Newbloods seek to mobilize dependent classes and armies drawn from dependent classes; but these are as likely to fear the Newbloods for their efficient exploitation as to back them for promised reforms. The Dead- woods can often get a modicum of popular support for the very reason they less efficient, seedier exploiters whose wealth is less garish, less corrupt and more Traditional in appearance. In the Second Century BC, the Gracchi followed this pattern, appealing to secondary landlords, the *equites*, to fill key posts in their land-redistri- bution scheme, but were foiled and assassinated by the Senatorial oligarchy. The First Century BC, or the last century of the Republic, saw progressively more violent struggle between Optimates and Populares, all of whom derived revenues from land, slaves, and usury. Calculations could become quite fiendishly complicated, with the necessity for redistribution of enormous amounts of wealth in the form of money to sustain the loyalties of a politician's urban *clientela*, which could become a club-wielding instant mob or a voting bloc; and in the later stages, to recruit legions and retain their support. Marius was the first to use personal wealth to recruit an army, open to *proletarii*, or uprooted landless peasants, for the first time, in 105 BC. Sulla, a conservative, controlling the loot of Asia Minor and Greece, overthrew the followers of the recently deceased Marius, establishing his dictatorship in the 80s. Restored constitutional government saw Julius Caesar, a Popularis, go heavily into debt to get elected consul in 59 BC, which gave him command of a field army on expiry of his term of office wherewith he recouped his pecuniary fortunes in conquering Gaul, true, but more import- antly, also, overwhelming prestige as a military hero and the fanatical loyalty of his troops. Civil war against Pompey now replaced elections (49-48); but the conservatives still had something lethal up their sleeves (44). In the wars which followed, even the highly civilianized lawyer Cicero had to bet his life, on the wrong side, seeing that monopoly of power by a sole dictator would amount to legalized confiscations on a permanent basis. He sneered at "fishponders," those Senators believing they could stare at the luxurious ornaments on their country estates in peace under a regime of what we would call "law and order." Such a thing could not exist in the Roman Empire, where property was ultimately confiscatable at the will of the emperor, who was always commander-in-chief of the army. Rarely, in pre-capitalist societies, can we see rational calculation operating so overtly, as it did in Classical Athens, later at Rome. Nor have texts so replete with accusations by one politician of cunning calcula- tions by another: Always, in politics in whatever shape or form, to appear to uphold Principle, True Doctrine, the Constitution and Laws; the appearance of calculation is, ideologically, poor taste. The entrepreneurial specialists of the capitalist class have a special place in history, since they alone, given the dominance of bourgeois ideology, are encouraged to maximize pecuniary gain within the confines of rules enforced by a predictable State apparatus.

STATEMENT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS, NELSON MANDELA, AT HIS INAUGURATION AS PRESIDENT OF THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA, UNION BUILDINGS, PRETORIA, MAY 10 1994 YOUR MAJESTIES YOUR HIGHNESSES DISTINGUISHED GUESTS COMRADES AND FRIENDS Today, all of us do, by our presence here, and by our celebrations in other parts of our country and the world, confer glory and hope to newborn liberty. Out of the experience of an extraordinary human disaster that lasted too long, must be born a society of which all humanity will be proud. Our daily deeds as ordinary South Africans must produce an actual South African reality that will reinforce humanity's belief in justice, strengthen its confidence in the nobility of the human soul and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all. All this we owe both to ourselves and to the peoples of the world who are so well represented here today. To my compatriots, I have no hesitation in saying that each one of us is as intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld. Each time one of us touches the soil of this land, we feel a sense of personal renewal. The national mood changes as the seasons change. We are moved by a sense of joy and exhilaration when the grass turns green and the flowers bloom. That spiritual and physical oneness we all share with this common homeland explains the depth of the pain we all carried in our hearts as we saw our country tear itself apart in a terrible conflict, and as we saw it spurned, outlawed and isolated by the peoples of the world, precisely because it has become the universal base of the pernicious ideology and practice of racism and racial oppression. We, the people of South Africa, feel fulfilled that humanity has taken us back into its bosom, that we, who were outlaws not so long ago, have today been given the rare privilege to be host to the nations of the world on our own soil. We thank all our distinguished international guests for having come to take possession with the people of our country of what is, after all, a common victory for justice, for peace, for human dignity. We trust that you will continue to stand by us as we tackle the challenges of building peace, prosperity, non-sexism, non-racialism and democracy. We deeply appreciate the role that the masses of our people and their political mass democratic, religious, women, youth, business, traditional and other leaders have played to bring about this conclusion. Not least among them is my Second Deputy President, the Honourable F.W. de Klerk. We would also like to pay tribute to our security forces, in all their ranks, for the distinguished role they have played in securing our first democratic elections and the transition to democracy, from blood-thirsty forces which still refuse to see the light. The time for the healing of the wounds has come. The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come. The time to build is upon us. We have, at last, achieved our political emancipation. We pledge ourselves to liberate all our people from the continuing bondage of poverty, deprivation, suffering, gender and other discrimination. We succeeded to take our last steps to freedom in conditions of relative peace. We commit ourselves to the construction of a complete, just and lasting peace. We have triumphed in the effort to implant hope in the breasts of the millions of our people. We enter into a covenant that we shall build the society in which all South Africans, both black and white, will be able to walk tall, without any fear in their hearts, assured of their inalienable right to human dignity - a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world. As a token of its commitment to the renewal of our country, the new Interim Government of National Unity will, as a matter of urgency, address the issue of amnesty for various categories of our people who are currently serving terms of imprisonment. We dedicate this day to all the heroes and heroines in this country and the rest of the world who sacrificed in many ways and surrendered their lives so that we could be free. Their dreams have become reality. Freedom is their reward. We are both humbled and elevated by the honour and privilege that you, the people of South Africa, have bestowed on us, as the first President of a united, democratic, non-racial and non-sexist government. We understand it still that there is no easy road to freedom We know it well that none of us acting alone can achieve success. We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world. Let there be justice for all. Let there be peace for all. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Let each know that for each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to fulfill themselves. Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world. Let freedom reign. The sun shall never set on so glorious a human achievement! God bless Africa! Thank you.

Riggs, Hawaii Re: Rationality or Power Your analysis of power and class relationships in Roman times is fascinating and I feel indebted to you for clarifying some important matters. However, I'd like to add a note on power and the development of capitalism--it was not just a matter of "rationality." As the contemporary literature on the "rational peasant" shows, many very traditional poor people act rationally within the context of choices open to them. The essence of the failure of traditional civilizations to develop capitalism and, more significantly, to industrialize, involves power relatiionships and the security of investment. Diaspora traders have acted rationally throughout history but they have never been able to exercise real political power except in minature city states. Your discussion shows that this was true in the Roman Republic and Empire, as it has been in all other traditional civilizations. Philip Curtin's "Cross-cultural trade in world history" provides ample documentation. Rulers of kingdoms and empires welcomed traders who could bring them luxury goods from faraway places, but always managed to control them well enough so that they could not join forces to create a bourgeois class or exercise real power. Unique conditions in Western Europe during medieval times based, essentially, I believe on the isolation of Europe from the rest of the "civilized world" provided the motivation for the emergence of trans-ethnic trading communities in the interstices of power between secular and churchly authorities, centered around the fortified burgs of the bishops on waterways which supported shipment of goods and local fairs which served the interests of feudal hinterlands. In these exceptional circumstances, well described by Henri Pirenne in his "Medieval Cities" it was possible for a self-goveernie burger communities to emerge and take advantage of the fragmentation of power and Church/State cleavage to gain power for themselves and their uniquely non-hierarchic form of political organization. No diaspora trading community had ever been able to do that over a large-scale domain before. It is well known that the power of the bourgeoisie in Europe paved the way for the emergence of the modern state and the industrial revolution. This was truly a unique development in world history, I believe, and it led to the emergence of nation states followed by imperialism and the conquest of the world by the beginning of this century, and the subsequent explosion of liberation movements with the emergence of the new states of the third world and now, as an inescapable sequel, the rise of ethnonational rebellions and terroristic reactions in many of these states where authoritarian regimes permit dominant minorities to marginalize and oppress other minorities, indulge in genocide and "ethnic cleansing" followed by vast refugee movements and global conflicts of a new kind--not so much inter-state wars as intra-state violence that quickly provokes multi-state interventions. Rational calculations have always been there, by rulers, ruled, and even slaves and serfs. The question is what opportunities they had to act with confidence in the future and the security of their savings/investments. Only when a state of affairs evolved in which power based on trade, investments and profits could prevail over power based on land, piracy, violence, and sacred authority did the conditions ripen for the emergence, first, of "capitalism" as dominant force, leading inevitably to "industrialism" as a sequel, and then to imperialism designed to support trade, markets, investments, raw materials--the familiar syndrome--but very badly explained by prevailing theories. What our conventional wisdom does not anticipate is that the revolutionary movements which brought independence to new states and the destruction of world empires (the latest being the Soviet and Yugoslav) has generated a new kind of violent resistance formed by ethnonational communities caught in traps like those we see in Ruanda and Burundi today--or in Bosnia now--perhaps Macedonia next. Given the terrors of authoritarian rule, especially by dominant minorities, is it not rational to see violent rebellion and terrorism as the only way out? And under such conditions, what rational actor would think that investments in highly vulnerable productive facilities is advantageous? Security must come first before capitalism or industrialism can flourish. Anyone with liquid capital would do much better to export than to invest it when terror and oppression prevails. In all traditional civilizations power has been exercised by non-commercial people--landowners, religious authorities, military men, pirates and specialists in the use of violence. It took a truly unique set of circumstances to enable self-governing trading communities to generate enough power to protect their commercial interests and, thereby, to safeguard investments and permit the origin in Europe of the modern world with all its terrors as well as its benefits. If any wsn members would like to pursue this line of analysis, I'd be glad to share with them some of my own writings on this subject. Just let me know. Thanks and all the best. Fred FRED W.

AID officials say the move was prompted by a policy change as much as fiscal considerations. They explained that the State Department has decided that it will no longer spend money to support corrupt or dictatorial governments just to buy friends. Michael O'Connor reports from El Salvador, the biggest foreign recipient in Latin America. Mike O'Conner: Until a couple years ago, you couldn't fly over this part of El Salvador without worrying about being shot down. On the farm land and mountains below were thousands of guerrillas with weapons. Half of those weapons came from the Soviet bloc. During the Cold War the Agency for International Development spent billions of dollars worldwide in places like this. Ostensibly, the money was to support democracy. However, USAID now concedes that a lot of the money went to support corrupt or repressive governments which took the United States side in the Cold War. The head of USAID, Brian Atwood, recently came to El Salvador to look at changes in that policy. In a village once held by the rebels, U.S. officials gave out farm land to people who had supported a Marxist led guerilla movement. Brian Atwood: How much land has been nationally transferred to date. Woman (in Spanish): (inaudible) over 200 acres. O'Connor: Atwood says that since the cold war is over, ideology is no longer paramount and bad governments will no longer be given money just to buy influence. Atwood: It was in many cases walking around money for our ambassadors so that we could have some influence over the government's policies. We were buying, in some cases, military bases so that we could keep our forces around the world or so that we could keep the Soviets from gaining access to those military bases. There was a lot of that going on. So we were forced to work with corrupt governments. In many cases, governments who didn't spend our money very well and where we had some really serious problems with waste, fraud and other things. O'Connor: As if to prove that point, USAID has announced that it will close 21 of its 71 foreign missions. Officials say that about half of these closings are in countries where the governments are too inept or too corrupt or too undemocratic for help. Atwood concedes that in the past, while some U.S. aid was helping some unworthy governments, it was also hurting innocent people, and he says that now there is a responsibility to make up for that. Atwood: We did meddle. We caused a lot of deaths. We supported groups like the Contras. We created a lot of the problems that these countries face now as they try to achieve some degree of economic growth. So, I don't feel we should walk away. But I also feel that you can justify to the American people, not on the basis of having to pay some sort of a sin tax -- not trying to sort of pay off because of our guilt -- but because we can demonstrate to the American people that achieving stability and economic growth in a place like El Salvador has a direct impact on the United States. O'Connor: This new approach with programs that help people may prove more beneficial than programs that support governments, but the consequences of the old policy are still felt in central america. People in the countries most affected by the policies of the cold war -- El Salvador and Nicaurga -- are considerably poorer than in 1980 when the U.S. began to spend billions of dollars to help them. For National Public Radio I'm Mike 0'connor in El Salvador.

To determine the address under which you are subscribed, send listserv@csf the two word request REVIEW WSN If your efforts to unsub have been frustrated, please write to podobnik@jhuvm.hcf.jhu.edu, rather than taking your problem to the list. It is helpful to forward a copy to Bruce Podobnik of mail from listserv that shows the source of your problem. Other recognized commands to listserv@csf are SUB WSN Firstname Lastname Unlike the unsub command, this one requires! more than two words. SET WSN CONCEAL YES A four word message to have listserv conceal your name from the review command. SET WSN CONCEAL NO The default is NO.
