The Executive Secretary of the Inter-American Development Commission (McClintock) to the Secretary of State
Attention: Mr. Laurence Duggan, Chief
Division of
American Republics
My Dear Mr. Duggan: This has reference to my letter to you of even date concerning the subject of establishing advisory sub-committees to the Inter-American Development Commission in the different Latin American countries and particularly having reference to the establishment of an advisory committee in Brazil.
The Commission proposes to establish a similar advisory committee in Argentina and will appreciate your making the same [Page 378] arrangements with our Ambassador in Buenos Aires as will be done with our Ambassador in Rio de Janeiro.
I am writing the Argentine Ambassador in Washington asking that he inform his Government to designate an appropriate official to meet with our representative in Buenos Aires for the purpose of choosing three business men members of the advisory committee, and I am informing Ambassador Espil that this matter is being handled by airmail through your Department.
Sincerely yours,
