Service Representation in Central & Southern America

1 Apr 1950

SECRET 5. From the purely military point of view, we are prepared to agree to the withdrawal of the Military Attache at Rio de Janeiro. This post was, however, re-established in 1948 at the request of the Foreign Secretary, on political grounds. The Foreign Secretary has, however, now signified that he has no objection in principle to the withdrawal of the post, or to the other proposed changes. 6. We are therefore making the necessary arrangements for those to be implemented. Recommendation 7. We therefore recommend that the Chiefs of Staff take note of the measures we have taken to improve intelligence on Central and South America.
