--Argentina-US: Argentina has indefinitely postponed formal
ratification of the Tlateloco Treaty, which seeks to ban nuclear weapons
from Latin America. There is a possibility that it will reverse its
earlier decision and decide not to adhere to the accord. The change
of mind stems in part from growing hostility in Buenos Aires to US
pressure on human rights. It also reflects the fact that Argentina
has not received any assurances it will get heavy water technology
from the US. Contrary to the US position, the Argentines insist that
the US offered them heavy water technology last November in exchange
for their ratification of full-scope safeguards. President Videla
went against the advice of many of his advisers when he signed the
treaty earlier this year. He has been under strong pressure to withdraw
his support by those who believe that delay or refusal is the only way
to stand up to the US.
