Back in 1986 and 87, during my stint in Southcom, we attempted to work with USAID on civic action projects in Honduras and a civic action symposium in Bolivia. The senior guy in AID in the embassy in Tegucigalpa that I spoke with was sympathetic but was hadicapped by a policy letter that prohibited him from cooperating with the US military. The AID guy in La Paz was less sypathetic but relented a bit when we suggested that Southcom might be able to get him some resources that AID could not get through its own capabilities.

Cheers
