The Ambassador in Argentina (Armour) to the Secretary of State
[Received 12:11 p.m.]
1965. Embassy’s report No. 1204,30 Argentine Aviation Notes, July 17, page 16. As there are reports that the Argentine Government is completing negotiations for the purchase of the 5 airplanes of the Air France (apparently 3 for the Army and 2 for civilian aviation) for approximately 3,000,000 pesos inquiries in the matter were recently made at the Central Bank which in strict confidence has now suggested that the matter be taken up with the Foreign Office. A memorandum was today sent to the Foreign Office inquiring whether in the event of such an operation the purchase price would be blocked.
