Dominican Republic’s main opposition party, the Dominican Liberation Party, headed by Juan Bosch states that it has new evidence to substantiate claims that the May 6th general election was fraudulent. This follows a statement by the Head of the Electoral Board of the Dominican Republic announcing the suspension of the process of verifying the results and the condemnation of Jimmy Carter and his observer team. Following the Financial News, Philip Nunez highlights the urgency for the Caribbean leaders to agree on supporting the West Indies Shipping Company (WISCO), in light of a recent study showing that with proper economic support WISCO can become a viable operation. In the next segment, Grenada’s dismissed High Commissioner to London, Oswald Gibbs, attends his last official function and was locked out of his office. The report concludes with the Commonwealth Expert Group submitting a Joint Commonwealth Guyana Programme to manage one million acres of the country’s Amazonian rainforest.
