227. Editorial Note
On October 20, at the 464th meeting of the National Security Council, Allen Dulles in his review of significant world developments affecting U.S. security, raised the matter of Argentina. The memorandum of discussion reads as follows:
“Mr. Dulles next turned to the situation in Argentina where, he indicated, it looked as though Frondizi had out-maneuvered his opposition in the army. While Frondizi had had to make some compromises, these compromises did not appear to be significantly harmful to his position. The creation of a special committee to investigate Communist activities was a good development. The important thing was that he had managed to keep the same economic team which was directing the stabilization program.” (Eisenhower Library, Whitman File, NSC Records)
