- In compliance with the President’s request for suggestions, the Argentine Minister for Foreign Affairs was authorized to propose [Page 91] on behalf of the group that the first meeting should be on Monday July 1st. (No objection was offered to this suggestion although the Foreign Ministers of Chile and Peru are leaving on Wednesday and the Brazilian delegation has not as yet been appointed.)
