Federal Police and Army intelligence have recommended to the Casa Rosada that

grants, the government prohibited its, representatives in "iron curtain" countries
to issue immigration visas without prior clearance from Buenos Aires. Clearance
of these applicants will be given only after a careful screening by Osinde's
office and the Army assistants of Colonel Enrique P. Gonzalez, head of the
Immigration Departent.

who were sponsored by the IRO and had been accepted by the Argentine government
as prospective immigrants, have been held up due to Osinde's lack of confidence
in MO screening methods.
