      Chavez Broadcasts His Program from Cuba

      Santa Clara, Cuba, Oct 14 (Prensa Latina) Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez led his regular "Alo Presidente" program Sunday at the monument erected to legendary guerrilla Ernesto Che Guevara, on the 40th anniversary of his death.

         "A promise is a promise," said Chavez at the presentation of his television program's 298 edition, accompanied by commander of the Revolution Ramiro Valdes, who was second chief of the "Ciro Redondo"

      Che Column in the last Cuban independence struggle.

         In his initial greeting, also accompanied by Vice President Carlos Lage Davila, Chavez termed "tide of Santa Clara" the thousands of people from this city that gathered to welcome him.

        Chavez presented the program informally, while talking with Valdes and Lage, and later laid a wreath to honor Che on behalf of the sons of Liberator Simon Bolivar.
