MEMORANDUM
T0: Deputy Chief, Paraguay Bureau
INFO: Chief ELAD, Prod Group
SUBJECT: Review/Update of Paraguay Bureau Publications
1. Since the last publications review of March 1981
the following changes have taken place:
2. ARGENTINA
a. Buenos Aires AMBITO FINANCIERO was tried for 3
months and found to be unproductive and dropped from coverage.
b. The weekly magazine VISION was found to be unprod~.
ctive and was dropped from coverage.
c. The weekly LA SEMANA was sampled for 3 months and
found to be marginally productive. LA SEMANA and a similar
weekly, SIETE DIAS, which only occasionally carry interviews
with political personalities are easily available from
local newsstands, and bureau receives advanced notice from
press services or other sources and can buy isssues of interest
on an ad hoc basis when items of interest are carried.
Accordingly, LA SEMANA was not put on regular coverage.
d. The weekly GENTS was added to bureau coverage. It
is available from local suppliers.
e. Three monthlies--the political journal A FONDO,
the Peronist monthly LINEA, and the mouthpiece of tightest
politicain Admiral Massera CAMBIO--were ordered for 1-year
subscriptions, though no regular issues and only one back
issue have yet been received.
f. The daily Buenos Aires COPdVICCION was received for
a few weeks from local suppliers, but they have since ceased
to import the paper. At this time, bureau has no plans to
seek direct subscription from the publisher, since Argentine
coverage is ample.
~~.` BOLIVIA: No changes.

4. BRAZIL
a. Due to delayed and sporadic reception o.f
magazine VEJA through local Paraguayan newsdealers, bureau
wrote directly to VEJA in July requesting Air Mail subscription.
So far noTissues have been received by mail, however.
b. At suggestion of ELAD Brazilian officer
Bureau has begun a 1-month sampling of Rio e
aneiro dailies ULTIMA HORA, :and TRIBUNA DA IMP.RENSA -.~1
and the weekly HORA DO POVO were placed on 1-month trial
subscriptions. U.S Consulate in Rio is helping to air mail them.
c. The U.S. Embassy in Brasilia has been unable to
procure three left-leaning papers suggested by Renier--
VOZ OPERARIA, VOZ DA UNIDADE and CORREIO SINDICAL. We plan
to ask the Rio Consulate's help.
a. The biweekly COSAS has become available from local
news distributors and has been added to regular coverage.
6. PARAGUAY
a. The biweekly SENDERO, published by the Catholic
National Episcopal Conference, was added to regular coverage
in September.
a. Lima LATINAMERICA UJEEK was dropped from coverage :i
due to unproductivity after a 3-month trial period.
b. After some trouble in arranging a suitable delivery
method--Lima Embassy has now agreed to package publications and
see that they are delivered to the Braniff. Airlines office--
receipt times of publications from Peru have .beP,n cut to 2
to h days. Peruvian publications now regularly received
are the dailies EXPRESO and EL;~COMERCIO and the weeklies
MARKA, CARETAS AND OIGA.
8. URUGUAY
a. After a 6-month period of exploitation, the
Montevideo dailies LA MANANA and EL DIA have been found
to be largely duplicative in their content, and bureau has
ordered that the LA MANANA subscription not be renewed when
it expires.
