nuclear materials••••Regardless of Washington's present atti
tudes, Latin American governments are not likely to be cowed into
accepting policies inimical to their interests. The position of
Argentina, for �xample, was clearly expressed in a recent
statement made by Admiral Carlos Castro Madero and quoted by the
British journal NEW SCIENTIST:
"Argentina pursues an open
nuclear policy of integration between Latin American countries
with the object of creating a local nuclear technology in the
region and reducing dependence on developed countries."
Argentina's open policy has led to technical cooperation
agreements with other Latin nations such as Brazil, Bolivia,
Peru, and Venezuela as well as with Libya and India.
How timely was Mr. Armstrong's latest co-worker letter warning of the
proliferation of nuclear weapons around the world.
