Last week, as reassurance to the U.S.'s southern neighbors, President Johnson flew to San Salvador for a minisummit with the presidents of five Central American republics: El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua and Guatemala. Before leaving Texas, he conferred with Bolivia's President Rene Barrientos Ortuno at the L.B.J. ranch and played host to ambassadors from 20 Latin countries at San Antonio's HemisFair, itself a symbol of inter-American solidarity.
