The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Argentina (Weddell)
75. For Braden. Your 146, June 7, 3 p.m. The Department concurs in your opinion that no attempt should be made to keep secret the terms of any agreement accepted by the two parties, even if the agreement is to be subject to congressional ratification. Furthermore, experience indicates that it would not be possible to keep the terms of such an agreement secret for any length of time.
For your information, the Department’s view of the importance of a direct settlement at this time is being kept before the Argentine and Paraguayan diplomatic representatives here.
