Memorandum for: Director, FBIS
Through : Chief, Operations Group
Subject : Paraguay Bureau Monthly Report for July 1982
I. GENERAL
1. The new U.S. ambassador to Paraguay, Arthur H. Davis, and
Mrs. Davis arrived in Asuncion on 30 July. The acting bureau chief
accompanied other Embassy officers to the airport to meet him and on
the 31st attended a barbecue in his honor along with other agency and
section chiefs.
2. Flooding in Paraguay continues to be serious, but the
worst seems to be over. According to information available to the
Embassy, medical and food supplies are reaching the flood victims.
High water around Asuncion is expected to begin receding during the
first week of August.
II. OPERATIONS
A. Monitorial/Editorial
1. A contract was signed with the new Buenos Aires press
agency DIARIOSY NOTICIAS effective 1 July. During the Falklands
crisis this news agency consistently carried items which provided
apparent inside information from very high-level sources in the
Argentine Government and Military. This brings the number of press
agencies on regular coverage to five.
2. Considerable bureau efforts were directed toward covering
the new Argentine Government's activities during the first half of
the month. The new Argentine cabinet was sworn in on the 2nd, and
speeches were made thereafter by the new president, a military junta
member, the finance minister and the president of the central bank
which required extensive bureau efforts to process. The media
reaction reports begun in June concerning the loss of the Falklands
war and the government changes in Argentina continued through 5 July.

3. The bureau further reduced its extended hours during
the month, returning to normal on 11 July.
4. Bolivia did what it is most noted for during the month --
changed governments. The 11-month-old government of Celso Torrelio
Villa ended with his forced resignation on the 19th. While there
was no bloodshed, the reaction in Bolivia as reported in the media
monitored at the bureau indicates a striking lack of support in that
country for the new government.
5. Outages affecting the Buenos Aires press agency LATIN
are again causing concern at the bureau. LATIN had more than 55
hours of outages during the month. The bureau has expressed its
concern to the local LATIN office which has promised to try to
improve its service.
B. Communications
A substantial number of interruptions to the bureau's primary
circuit resulted in outages totalling 24 hours and 40 minutes during
the month. Commercial power outages and large voltage fluctuations
continue to cause problems with the sensitive equipment at the Mission's
Telecommunications Unit.
C. Lateral Services
On the 6th, the BBC requested processing of a 5 July Moscow
item reporting a new "Council of Monitors" being set up by Radio Moscow.
Reports on this and a subsequently monitored item on the same subject
were filed to Headquarters and BBC.
D. Technical
1. Preventive maintenance was completed on the Collins 651 S
receivers.
2. IBM office completed first preventive maintenance of the
bureau's electric typewriters.
3. Non-expendable equipment received: 1 EA FREDERICK Display
Unit, model 1251, S/N FE-5875, $900.00.
4. Non-expendable equipment transferred: 1 EA DELTA Remote
Controller, model RRC-1A, S/N 026, $2,110.00. Transferred to Panama
Bureau.
