TRANSLATOR'S SUMMARY OF COMMUNICATION
Language: Spanish
Date of Communication July 27, 1977
Addressed Patricia Derian
Name and address of writer
Mr. Hector Timerman
c/o Mike Obrian
U.S. Embassy
Argentina
LS No. 63625

Substance of writer's statement
Mr. Timerman thanks Patricia Derian for all that she has done for his father
since his arrest. In the last three months his father, the victim of false
accusations, has been tortured and has suffered greatly. Mr. Timerman would
like Mrs. Darien to speak with Ambassador Todman about requesting his father's
release. In August, Senator Abraham Ribicoff will visit Argentina. He has
been invited by the Argentine Government to demonstrate that country's lack
of anti-Semitism. The torture applied to Mr. Timerman's father has been largely
due to his Jewish identity, to force him to admit that subversion in Argentina
is financed by Jews. Mr. Timerman feels that only alth Ambassalor Tolman and
Senator Ribicoff's intervention is there any liklihood that his father will
be released.

Buenos Aires,27 de julio de 1977
Eh primer lugar quiero agradecerte todo lo que has hecho Dor
1. padre desde que est& presoaas personas que han venido de Estados Uhidos no
tenido mis qua elogios para tu persona.
Creo innecesario contarte todos los padecimientos y torturas por la que Ja�
;bo ha pasado en los dltimos tres meses.Etpero aue una vtz que todo esto ternd
puede ir personalmente a verte y estos episodios seen solo un tena pare tom
cafe.
Quisiera pedirte un ftvorteunque se que ya to has ocupado bastantety es que
7b1es con Todmen pare que el pida la libertad de mi padre.En la Argentina lo
Itien_espereAdo con muchos deseos de quedar bien y demostrar gm este es un pal
mocratico,por 10 tanto creo que una gestion de Todman va a ser fundamental.
Tambidn se que en el mes de Agosto vienen a. la Argentina legisladores ameri-
mosan� de ellos Abraham Ribicoff ns un gman luchador contra el antisemitisnt
no ha y que olvidarse que lo de mi padre es fundamentaImnte por au condicidn
Judi�. Ia nnyor parte de las torturas fueron pare que reconozca que los
Idios financian la subersidn en el pais.Oomo te dards cuenta que este legislad
to segdn los diarios de acd viene a controlar el antisemitismo intercede por
padre pare lograr su libertad es muy important� porque juetamente el gobiax
, argentin� lo invit par demostrmle que no exists antisemitismo en Aln ol pai
A mi modo de ver si estas personas interseden mi padre va a tener chances de
:lir en libertad de otra manera lo veo dificil.
Demas est& decirte que todas las ecusaciones que se hioieron contra mi padre

SUBJECT: LETTER FROM ARGENTINA

I.
("
\.13,\"
DATE: December 13, 1977
\\
The attached publication, LETTER FROM ARGENTINA, has recently
appeared. According to the editor, its chief source of financial
support "comes from U.S. firms who operate here-.1' (note the guest
'ffirff�fal by Alex Perry) The editor, Antonio Rodriguez Carmona,
is a well-known right-wing journalist with very close ties to the
army. His deputy, Martin Allica is employed in the Presidential
Press Secretariat and is also a strong right-wing fanatic. Some
sources identify him as a SIDE agent.
Of special interest in this issue are the articles on "Timerman
and Cgmpora: Two Crooks" (page 12); "The New York Times, Juan de
Onis and I" (page 16-17); "A Reply to Mr. Carter" (page 27); and
the open invitation for US journalists to visit Argentina - for free
issued on page 95.
The articles about Timerman. and Juan de Onis are particularly
vitriolic. For example, the article on de Onis referring to his
November 20 article on Jewish unrest states "we have to disapprove very
strongly of the lies disseminated by the feverish and easily upset
Juan de Onis ... somebody in Argentina, governed by the armed forces,
must put an end to 'subversive aggression' by Juan de Onis, a direct
accomplice of the guerrillas the government must be firm in the
face of this 'stab in the back' by.a foreigner who is.infringing
Argentine laws never mind how much of a journalist he is."
Editor Carmona is no less charitable with Timerman and bemoans
the fact that the international press is making him out to be a modern
day Dreyfus. Carmona says "Timerman was never popular (in Argentina)
and for very good reasons ... Timerman's offenses against the nation
are public knowledge, and Argentina, which once protected him as an
immigrant, now wants justice."
-
From all appearances LETTER FROM ARGENTINA is a back-door government
effort, as juvenile as others it has attempted, to improve its image
abroad and specifically with U.S. journalists.
