United States: Washington Develops Cleanup Plan in Panama The United States is developing a plan to clean up abandoned chemical weapons left behind on San Jose Island off the coast of Panama, Francis Baker, charge d’affaires of the U.S. Embassy in Panama, said yesterday (see GSN, March 26). “We have offered to clean up certain chemical weapons that have been discovered and we are creating a plan which we will present to Panama to carry out our promise,” Baker said. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which oversees the Chemical Weapons Convention, has certified the discovery of four live chemical munitions — a 500-pound bomb and three 1,000-pound bombs, according to EFE News Service (see GSN, March 1). “We have made a commitment to Panama, to President Mireya Moscoso, that we are going to take care of this problem,” Baker said (EFE News Service, May 27).
