tion, still had the support of the
military even if his popular
standing — including with the
Church, the middle class and the
business community — was on
the skids.
What finally turned the tide
was the defection of Defense
Minister Juon Ponce Enrile and
Lieut. Gen. Fidel Ramos. "It
was now clear that he was los-
ing the support of his own key
people in his inner circle. So, his
political base was rapidly
crumbling. The handwriting was
on the wall. He could no longer
sustain himself in power.
"The only remaining question
was whether the transition of
government would be peaceful
or violent. Fortunately, massive
bloodshed, and possibly even
civil war, were avoided. It was
a happy ending to the whole
drama.
During this period, Solarz did
not simply stand back, analyze
and watch the events unfold•n
the Philippines. He personally
got very much involved. He cer-
tainly played a role in trying to
influence the final outcome. To-
day, he looks back on his ac-
tivities with pride.
Probably, the most important
role he played was in chairing a
whole series of highly-publicized
Congressional hearings on the
situation in the Philippines. In
the past two years, there were
more than a dozen such events,
which, he said, "helped to focus
attention on the problems 'of the
Philippines and which served as
a source of pressure on the
Reagan Administration to move
its own policy toward a more
critical posture."
Solarz credited the Admin-
istration "for coming a long
way" from the time that Vice
President George Bush went to
Manila to praise Marcos for his
love of democracy, to last Oc-
tober, when Republican Senator
Paul Laxalt went to the Philip-
pines. to inform Marcos of
America's concern over his abil-
ity to govern in the face of the
continuing economic crisis.
But in addition to the hear-
ings,.Solarz also led the fight to
reshape the U.S. foreign aid pro-
gram toward the Philippines by
substantially cutting back
military assistance while in-
creasing economic aid by com-
parable amounts. Throughout
this period, the U.S. had to pro-
vide a total of $180 million of
assistance to the Philippines
every year in order to maintain
America's treaty obligations to
operate vital military bases
there. "This sent a signal to the
people in the Philippines Sand to
Marcos that in the absence of
fundamental political, military
and economic reforms, the Con-
gresi was not prepared to give
a blank check to the Admin-
istration and to the government
of the Philippines," Solarz said.
"I think that this was very
helpful both in conveying to the
