Minister Willis had been Instructed only week
before to continue to act under his oTlgihai III
structions with the sole qualification that he was
not authorized TO force. In his message
the President said:

which is consistent with American honor integrity
and morality.

Still up to December 90 when the Alameda left

acting under instructions from Secretary tres
