REPUBLIC RESPONSE

REF: A. STATE 126870


B. STATE 111637

Classified By: Ambassador Hans Hertell, for Reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).

(C) The Ambassador on July 8 delivered Ref A demarche to
Foreign Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso. Morales Troncoso
said President Fernandez had asked the Foreign Minister to
support Brazil's position (i.e., in favor of the G-4
framework resolution). However, in view of the Ambassador's
demarche, Morales Troncos said he would take it upon himself
to support postponing discussion of the G-4 plan for UN
Security Council expansion, to allow for discussion of a
comprehensive approach to UN reform along the lines of Ref A
talking points. The Ambassador has scheduled a longer
meeting with the Foreign Minister on July 14 to present our
more detailed proposals for UN reform (Ref B).
