� NO INDIA
O NETUNA. TO PER
INCREASING POLITICAL ACTIVITY BY SOME MILITARY LEADERS AND
THE CONTINUING SUCCESS OF THE ARMY-SUPPORTED COUNTERTERRORIST
CAMPAIGN ARE THE MAJOR REASONS FOR THIS.//
//THE MILITARY IS STILL SMARTING FROM THE UNPOPULARITY
THAT LED THE LANUSSE REGIME TO TURN POWER BACK TO CIVILIANS
IN 1973. A COUP IS OUT OF THE QUESTION, BUT THE ARMY
REPORTEDLY IS RE-EVALUATING ITS ROLE IN THE GOVERNMENT.//
//PRESIDENT PERON HAS GRADUALLY BECOME MORE ACCEPTABLE
TO MILITARY LEADERS, BUT THEY ARE GROWING INCREASINGLY
CRITICAL OF THE ROLE OF POWERFUL SOCIAL WELFARE MINISTER
LOPEZ REGA, WHO IS MRS. PERON'S PRIVATE SECRETARY AND MENTOR
IN ADDITION.//
//RECENT ACTIONS ATTRIBUTED TO LOPEZ REGA HAVE LED SOME
OFFICERS TO QUESTION HIS SANITY. THESE CRITICS CONTEND THAT
MRS. PERON CAN GET ALONG WITHOUT HIM, PROVIDING SHE HAS THE
ACTIVE SUPPORT OF THE MILITARY AND LABOR.//

//THE TERRORISTS ARE ON THE DEFENSIVE. THEIR
ASSASSINATIONS OF ARMY OFFICERS HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED
THEIR POPULAR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGED MAXIMUM EFFORTS BY
SECURITY FORCES.//
//REPORTEDLY, THE TERRORISTS NOW BELIEVE THAT DURING
THE NEXT FEW MONTHS THEY WILL HAVE TO CONCENTRATE ON
REVITALIZING THEIR ORGANIZATION AND INFILTRATING THE LABOR
MOVEMENT. THEY ARE STILL CAPABLE OF ISOLATED ACTS, SUCH
AS THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE FEDERAL POLICE CHIEF
