This was the doctrine that Adolf A. Berle, chief of Kennedy's Latin American task force, spread on his recent South American swing. Specifically, Berle sought to line up support for a collective diplomatic and commercial quarantine of Cuba by all members of the Organization of American States. In Brazil Berle ran into a personal affront from President Janio Quadros (see below), who is aggressively determined to show how neutral he intends Brazil to be in international affairs.
