ARGENTINA-OAS
Argentine Foreign Minister Alberto Vignes announced
yeterday that the inter-American foreign ministers'
meeting, scheduled for March in Buenos Aires, has been
postponed indefinitely. Vignes cited the tense atmos-
phere created by the US Trade Reform Act as the reason
for putting off the meeting.
Last Friday, a special session of the OAS permanent
council issued a resolution declaring that the trade act
violated commitments the US had made to developing coun-
tries and recommending further discussion at the next
OAS General Assembly in April. Several Latin governments
have expressed strong reservations about conducting the
hemispheric dialogue in sporadic meetings of the foreign
ministers.
Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Perez has argued
that any issue between Latin countries and the US should
be discussed only in the OAS where, he says, "Agreements
are more binding."

ARGENTINA
The military's concern
over the steadily expanding
power of presidential ad-
viser Jose Lopez Rega may
soon bring the issue to a
head.
According to the US em-
bassy, the three armed forces
commanders met with the de-
fense minister last week to
protest Lopez Rega's exces-
sive influence in the gov-
ernment. We have no infor-
mation that the military
high command has issued any
ultimatum, but the possibil- President Peron and her adviser Jose Lopez Rega
ity of demands being made on President Peron is greater
now than at any time since she assumed office last year.
President Peron is resting at an Atlantic beach
resort. Her absence from the capital has probably stim-
ulated speculation that Lopez Rega, alone, is running
the government--a conclusion that may not be too far off
the mark. Her reliance on the controversial minister is
increasing alarm in Peronist labor and opposition politi-
cal circles.
Prominent opposition leader Ricardo Balbin reportedly
has taped a TV interview in which he denounces recent
heavy-handed actions by the government and criticizes the
concentration of power within the newly created presiden-
tial secretariat headed by Lopez Rega. The embassy re-
ports that Balbin's party has been in contact with armed
forces leaders during the past few weeks and that they
may have agreed to a joint stand against the President's
key adviser.
If Mrs. Peron does not make some gesture soon to
curb Lopez Reges authority, she may well be headed for
a confrontation with the power groups she needs most to
guarantee support for her government. 3.5(c)
