of power to avoid new outbreaks of hostilities and
prevent possible Soviet inroads. A key problem in
this regard is that Congress and much informed opinion
in the~U.S. has traditionally opposed arms sales to
Latin America as unnecessary, counterproductive, waste-
ful, and supportive of militarism.
In the post-Falklands environment, we believe
that U.S. unresponsiveness would reduce U.S, influence
and prestige in matters that many South Americans
who are not military will consider vital to their
national security. To influence procurement needs
and the related rethinking of security interests and
needs, we will need to make-full use in dealing with
Latin America of the more flexible arms transfer poli-
cies established by the Reagan Administration, and
build Congressional support for their use.
