DECLASSIFIED E. O. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and S(D) or (E) THE SECRETARY OF STATE Dept. of State letter, Aug. 9, 1973 NLI-MC , NARS Date 4-16-25 WASHINGTON By CONFIDENTIAL February 18, 1948 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT: In a recent personal letter to me from James Bruce, our Ambassador to Argentina, he said: "As reported to the Department, the Argentine has agreed to sell their cereals at market prices and Peron signified several times the intention of taking an interest in the plan. "Since dictating the above I have been with President Peron informally. He said that the Argentine would sell grains under the Marshall plan at whatever price the U.S. thought fair, and that he was tired of reading press reports that the Argentine was an obstructionist. He said that he would make a public statement to this effect in the very near future.' I have informed Secretary Harriman and Secretary Anderson of this matter. SERVICE* G. C. Marshall CONFIDENTIAL
