U.S. President Bill Clinton's appearance at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, where all was supposed to appear quiescent as the President hob-nobbed with Indonesian generals, signed billion-dollar export agreements and set a timetable for establishing a Pacific free trade umbrella. Prior to the conference, U.S. Ambassador Robert Barry had announced that APEC "is not the right forum for discussing human rights" a message that was not lost on Indonesian authorities, who "cleaned" Jakarta's streets of hundreds of government critics and labor activists.
