...JORNAL DO BRASIL: Senhora Luce can be certain that the U.S. Senate debate did not in the least affect the Brazilian concept and appreciation of her personally.

"A presidential conference," he said, "might be opportune to launch the Operation in due course, after full discussion and preparation." Their final agreement: Brazil and the U.S. will sound out the other 19 republics in the hemisphere, and, if acceptable, set up a working group in Washington by late September to draw up an outline development program; any meeting of Presidents would follow later. With that settled, Dulles and Kubitschek took time out to pose for pictures...
