The efforts of the Caribbean and other beneficiaries of the 936 Programme to have it retained have been given a boost by President Clinton. US House of Representative and Senate officials are examining two versions of the proposed alterations to the programme which proposed cuts in the pool of loan funds available to the region. The Senate version is favoured by the Caribbean as it is less drastic. At the recent CARICOM Summit, Puerto Rico’s Secretary of State had assured CARICOM leaders that if the Senate version succeeds, he would double the money available for the region. Interview with Puerto Rico’s based journalist, Doreen Hemlock (06:13-10:01)4. Haiti’s Senate is expected to elect its new leader under the terms of the Aristide-Cedras agreement signed in New York.

Interview with correspondent, Michael Norton (10:02-12:22)5. Cuba’s President, Fidel Castro is expected to announce major changes to the island’s domestic, economic and foreign policy on Monday. Rumours of the significance of the address have been gaining momentum in Cuba. These have been fuel in part by the worsening economic conditions on the island and signs of a softer tone in Cuba’s overtures to the US to lift the trade embargo. One item that is certain about Monday’s address is that the present restrictions on holding hard currency would be relaxed.
