The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Brazil (Caffery)
129. The Foreign Bondholders Protective Council today informed the Department that it had sent a cable on Tuesday, July 11, to Aranha stating that Council was prepared, provided the arrangement was satisfactory to the Brazilian Government, to send Dr. Dana Munro29 to Rio to negotiate a debt settlement. If the Brazilian Government’s reply is obtained in time, Dr. Munro could leave by plane from Miami on July 23, arriving Rio July 27. Dr. Munro can stay until September 9 if necessary, but must leave not later than that date in order to arrive in Princeton in time to organize his college work for the fall semester.
In view of the Council’s willingness to send Dr. Munro and of the limitations on his time, it is hoped that the Council may receive a favorable response from Aranha as soon as possible.
