Vignes cited the tense atmos- phere created by the US Trade Reform Act as the reason for putting off the meeting. Last Friday, a special session of the OAS permanent council issued a resolution declaring that the trade act violated commitments the US had made to developing coun- tries and recommending further discussion at the next OAS General Assembly in April. Several Latin governments have expressed strong reservations about conducting the hemispheric dialogue in sporadic meetings of the foreign ministers. Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Perez has argued that any issue between Latin countries and the US should be discussed only in the OAS where, he says, "Agreements are more binding." -7- 3.5(c) TAP�STriirf Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 3.5(c) 3.5(c) Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 --1M7I-JG�,...MG I National Intelligence Bulletin 3.5(c) January 28, 1975 ARGENTINA The military's concern over the steadily expanding power of presidential ad- viser Jose Lopez Rega may soon bring the issue to a head. According to the US em- bassy, the three armed forces commanders met with the de- fense minister last week to protest Lopez Rega's exces- sive influence in the gov- ernment. We have no infor- mation that the military high command has issued any ultimatum, but the possibil- President Peron and her adviser Jose Lopez Rega ity of demands being made on President Peron is greater now than at any time since she assumed office last year. President Peron is resting at an Atlantic beach resort. Her absence from the capital has probably stim- ulated speculation that Lopez Rega, alone, is running the government--a conclusion that may not be too far off the mark. Her reliance on the controversial minister is increasing alarm in Peronist labor and opposition politi- cal circles. Prominent opposition leader Ricardo Balbin reportedly has taped a TV interview in which he denounces recent heavy-handed actions by the government and criticizes the concentration of power within the newly created presiden- tial secretariat headed by Lopez Rega. The embassy re- ports that Balbin's party has been in contact with armed forces leaders during the past few weeks and that they may have agreed to a joint stand against the President's key adviser. If Mrs. Peron does not make some gesture soon to curb Lopez Reges authority, she may well be headed for a confrontation with the power groups she needs most to guarantee support for her government. 3.5(c) 8 I.012-SECRET 3.5(c) Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 3.5(c) NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964 Approved for Release: 2018/10/01 CO2991964
