...close of his July hearings on U.S. intervention in the Dominican Republic, Senator J. William Fulbright, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, announced that no formal report would be issued.

All three groups have been smuggling arms out of Santo Domingo to stash them in other cities and in the hills...

The opposite point of view was taken by Duke University's Arthur Larson, who felt that devastating blows had been dealt the rule of law not only by the India-Pakistan war but also by the U.S. intervention in the Dominican Republic and the bombing of North Viet Nam.
