Abstract
Description
Discusses efforts to get Acts of Chapultepec ratified by Argentine Congress; most members of Congress favored ratification, but according to Perón, Senator [Diego Luis] Molinari would make difficulties; he was Chairman of Senate Foreign Relations Committee and it was to his committee bill was sent after being introduced; although Molinari professed friendship for U.S., his actions proved otherwise; Perón suggested Messersmith invite Molinari, [Atilia] Bramuglia, the Foreign Minister, and himself to dinner and he would bring up matter of ratification; Messersmith told Molinari that he seemed to be bearing whole responsibility for delay, and that he was prejudicing his career in the Senate; within a few days the appropriate adherence of Argentina to the Acts of Chapultepec became a fact.
