ECONOMICS IS FOCUS OF QUAYLE'S TRIP

Vice President Dan Quayle, leaving today to help usher in new presidents in Chile and Brazil, said his trip also will focus on economic development in Latin America where "we have not been as successful as we'd like."

On the trip, Quayle also will press President Bush's effort to win Latin acceptance for the U.S.-installed government of Panama.

Quayle's week-long trip also includes stops in Venezuela, Barbados, Paraguay and Argentina.

Now that Chile has become the last country in South America to hold democratic elections, Quayle said he will be listening to the economic needs of the debt- and inflation-plagued Latin and Caribbean leaders.
