0 5 ARGENTINA: Support of Bolivian Junta
3.3(b)(1)
insist that their own national security
interests were directly threatened because a left-leaning
Bolivia might have become a safehaven for Argentine ter-
tbutit is consistent with Argentine apprehensions of
rorists. There is no evidence to support such a claim
3.5(c)
// creeping Communist penetration of the Western hemisphere.

3.5(c)
Argentine leaders appear determined to prop up the military
9v regime in Bolivia, even at the risk of jeopardizing recent improve-
ments in relations with the US. 3.5(c)
President Videla has for the first time publicly
expressed sympathy for the new ruling group led by General
Garcia Meza and implied that Argentina would .rovide food
/ aid and financial credits.
3.3(b)(6)
The Argentines
3.5(c)
Argentina's recognition of the new regime on 28 July
was followed by the postponement of a visit to Buenos
Aires by a high-ranking US official--a visit eagerly
sought by the military government as a continuation of
high-level bilateral meetings begun last January to pro-
/mote better understanding and cooperation. 3.5(c)
Although President Videla may send a personal emis-
sary to Washington to discuss the Bolivian problem, there
is little reason to expect the Argentines to show flexi-
1 in the Argentine government hierarchy, those officers who
bility. Though there may be minor differences of opinion
filicount believe strongly that in Bolivia at present there
Vis no civilian alternative to a rightwing military junta.
