DCI CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFING
A LOOK AT LATIN AMERICA
I. Latin America's relationship with the US is in a
state of change.
A. Differences over a wide range of economic and
political problems continue to provoke fric-
tion between the US and Latin America.
B. Failures over the past year or so to get the
"new dialogue" on track have discouraged many
Latins.
C. The Latins are frustrated by US preoccupation
with other areas of the world and resentful
of the low priority they think Washington
grants them.
D. A number of countries are concerned over the
shape of US policy in the post-Vietnam era.
Some fear that the US will be less forthcoming
in its dealings with Latin America

B.
B. Despite the trend toward Latin exclusivity,
most Latin governments value the OAS as a
pan-American forum and are working to make it
a more responsive organization.
1. A special OAS session held in San Jose,
Costa Rica this summer granted members
"freedom of action" vis-a-vis Cuba, so
that the issue of OAS sanctions against
Havana has finally been resolved.
V. To round out the Latin America picture, Mr. Chair-
man, I would like just to touch on three individual
situations.

Argentina
13.
B. Argentina remains beset with internal problems --
especially a basic lack of confidence in the presi-
dency of Juan Peron's widow. We think it almost
certain that she will either voluntarily leave
office or become a figurehead President.
1. Jose Lopez Rega, her longtime confidant and
adviser, has left the country and many of
his cronies have been forced out of the gov-
ernment.
2. The economic situation is fast deteriorating,
and the terrorist problem persists in spite
of some government gains in urban areas.
3. Despite this state of extreme drift, the
military, labor, business, and opposition
party circles are reluctant to force the
issue.
