Economic Development Commission and the commission is then
labeled a faildreo

sees "grave political results" if the
International Bank for Reconstruction
and Development refuses to change its
attitude on certain Brazilian railway
Lafer said that the commission, which he
hopes will not be allowed to expire on the scheduled date of 31
March, is regarded by President Vargas and his administration
as well as by the public as the measure of US sincerity in helping
Brazil solve its economic problems.

agree with Lafer's evaluation of the commission's importance
for Brazil's economic development and the improvement of its
relations with the United States
