MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 14, 1978 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT FROM: ZBIGNIEW BZEZINSKI flZ> ~ SUBJECT: U.. S. Economic Relations with the Developing World In your comments on the draft outline of the Caracas speech you referred us to .an article in the New York Times by Stephen Goodman of the Singer Company. Goodman's thesis, that financial transfe·rs to the developing world will sustain economic activity in the industrialized countries, will be. incorporated in the Caracas speech. A member of my s·taff has spoken to Goodman who referred to the decisions in the United States regarding the credit worthiness of the developing countries as a constraint on private transfers to the developing world. We will keep this issue under examination. Because .of your interest in the Goodman article you may also want to read the attached article from The Trib about the Singer Company and its reliance on sales to developing countries. ·. -· S...

The Organization and the member states have committed themselves to organize a series of events at Headquarters in Washington DC to celebrate and to reflect on the road thus travelled. The OAS has had over the seventy-year period several major accomplishments that have broken new ground and have had significant impact on the lives of the people of the Hemisphere. Similarly, like all international bodies, we have had difficult periods where member states have questioned our relevance and utility. I believe, wholeheartedly, that despite these challenges, the Organization has soldiered on and has managed to remain vibrant and relevant. Francis A.

  • Making Friends with Perón: Developmentalism and State Capitalism in U.S.-Argentine Relations, 1970–1975 David M
    Making Friends with Perón: Developmentalism and State Capitalism in U.S.-Argentine Relations, 1970–1975 David M. K. Sheinin In February 2011, Argentine authorities seized a cache of weapons from a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane that had landed in Buenos Aires. In a heated media exchange, political leaders in the United States and Argentina (including Argentine Foreign Min- ister Héctor Timerman and U.S. President Barack Obama) quickly transformed the seizure into a diplomatic incident of note, each side leveling accusations and alterna- tive versions of events at the other. The Argentine media reported that authorities had found a “secret” suitcase on board containing illicit drugs. American officials coun- tered that there were weapons but no drugs on board. What Argentine authorities had found was no secret, Washington claimed. The weapons were destined for a routine joint training operation between the Grupo de Operaciones Especiales de la Policía Federal (the Special Operations Unit of the Argen- tine Federal Police) and the U.S. Army Seventh Parachute Brigade. Without ever denying the training exercise nar- rative, Argentine authorities launched a series of attacks on past and present American military influence in Latin Juan Perón returned to Argentina on June 20, 1973, from almost 20 years of exile and assumed a brief America.

Duarte is the first popularly elected civilian president to take office in his country in more than 50 years. A moderate Christian Democrat, Duarte faces the difficult task of bringing both peace and justice to a nation ravaged by violence. The United States is interested in the Salvadoran situation not only because of the political, economic, and national security consequences for this country, but also because of our profound humanitarian concern about the widespread suffering caused by the prolonged conflict. Yet, despite the growing American media attention and political debate, El Salvador and its Central American neighbors remain virtually unknown peoples and places for even well-informed American voters and national leaders.
