         EMBASSY AND WOULD LK    R    T IN FURTHER STRAIN IN RTACTION
         RELATIONSHIP WITHL            I IN OPEN VENEZUELAN PRESS, THIS COULD
         MAKE SENSATIONAL READING DURING ELECTION YEAR,

               3,  IF COMMITTEE PERSISTS ON INTERVIEW WITH W*3, NOTWITH-
         STANDING HSCA AGREEMENT WITH RTACTION, AMBASSADOR SHOULD STATE
