Kissinger conferred for nearly an hour with Military Junta President General Francisco Morales Bermudez, gave a luncheon at the U.S. embassy, and attended a dinner in his honor at the Palacio Torre Tagle in Lima. His basic message: the U.S. does not object to Peru's pro-Third World policies and invites Lima to consult regularly with Washington "to discuss issues of common concern."
