The Ambassador in Argentina (Weddell) to the Secretary of State
[Received 12:30 p.m.]
128. Supplementing my 127, August 17, 6 p.m., at yesterday’s meeting it was felt by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Brazilian Ambassador and myself, that as this seemed a critical moment in the negotiations each of us should suggest to our governments that pressure be now brought on the Bolivian Government to accept unreservedly the Argentine formula, the Minister for Foreign Affairs to give corresponding instructions to his own diplomatic representative in La Paz. I postponed advising you of above until I received oral confirmation from Brazilian Ambassador that he was sending a similar message to his Government.
