DECLASSIFIED
SECRET
E. O. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and 5(D) or (E)
Depr. of State letter, Aug. 9, 1973
-7-
By NLT-
,
NARS Date 12-2-75
These requests are presently being considered by
the State Department for the purpose of determining
whether the licensing of the arms for export to Venezuela
would be consistent with the Department's arms policy.
3) Measures to stimulate cultural relations between
the two countries, including a Cultural Agreement.
Cultural interchange with Venezuela is active and
mutually beneficial. Any suggestions of President Gallegos'
for stimulating them would, of course, be welcomed.
Some two months ago the Venezuelans suggested a Cultural
Agreement in general terms. The United States has never
concluded a Cultural Agreement with a Latin American country
but is now negotiating one with Mexico, which is designed
to regulate all forms of cultural interchange. An agree-
ment with Venezuela might be of benefit, and no objection is
seen to discussing the project. However, the Department
might prefer to delay such discussion until it has gained
more experience from the negotiations now in progress with
Mexico.
D.
ADDITIONAL TOPICS WHICH STATE DEPARTMENT HOPES MAY BE
MENTIONED
When President Gallegos recently indicated his country's
three principal needs (food, steel and machinery), Ambassador
Donnelly mentioned three interests of the United States,
which might possibly be mentioned in conversations with Pres-
ident Truman. These are:
1)
The advisability of negotiating a General Consular
Agreement. Such an agreement would be convenient to the
consular officers of both nations. Our Embassy in Caracas
is taking the initiative in this negotiation and President
Gallegos has recently agreed to support it, as a result of
Ambassador Donnelly's suggestion.
2 and 3) Early ratification by the Venezuelan Congress
of the IRO Constitution and the Rio Treaty.
The United States is desirous that one more nation
should complete its adherence to the Constitution of the
International Refugee Organization at an early date in
order to bring the number of members to 15, as required to
activate the IRO. Venezuela, which is the best prospect,
signed the IRO Constitution ad referendum on June 4, and
has placed the measure before Congress for ratification.
