{"value"=>"<p> This series documents events that occurred in the last decade of the Duvalier dictatorship. These include reports about fighting between exiled rebels and the FAd'H in the southeast zone near the Haitian-Dominican border; arrangements for the security of Pope John Paul II's visit to Haiti in 1983; and the legislative elections, held in 1984, as part of Duvalier's effort to convince the international community that his government was moving toward democratic rule. There is also a \"Duvaliers\" folder which contains letters to and from the Duvaliers some of which, like the letter from a women sports' team thanking the President for selecting them to compete in a national game with the Dominican Republic, are seemingly unrelated to national security. Nevertheless, there are letters that have a political angle, such as those from different regional political organizations applauding Duvalier's order to arrest his political rival Sylvio Claude.</p>"}
