The Chargé in Bolivia (Muccio) to the Secretary of State
[Received 6:05 p.m.]
60. Delegation’s despatch No. 95, dated December 4th.15 Prisoners formula not to be submitted to Junta de Notables. President and Cabinet have considered matter, but President reported fearful of political repercussions if payment exceeding strict expenses is made and is therefore biding for time hoping amount may be reduced. Chilean Minister, under instructions of his Government, called on Foreign Minister expressing hope that Bolivia will accept formula. I personally believe Bolivia will accept and have been confidentially informed that requisite funds have already been set aside.
Bolivian delegation has been authorized to accept security formula. Repeated to Buenos Aires.
