The Ambassador in Argentina (Armour) to the Secretary of State
[Received 11:35 a.m.]
44. Reference Rio’s 33, January 4, 11 p.m.23 We agree fully with … estimate of Sanguinetti24 but have had no intimation that his appointment is under consideration. On the contrary our information is to effect that Argentine Government piqued over exclusion from Committee’s recent notification and Committee’s refusal to furnish it confidential information distributed to other Governments is holding appointment of successor Trachaval [Achával] in abeyance even though it realizes continued delay may result in Argentina’s place on the Committee being filled by another country.
