Rocky and his task force of 21 experts landed running. He hosted a breakfast for Argentine businessmen, met with local farm officials, and consulted with Foreign Minister Juan Martin and Economics Minister Jose Maria Dagnino Pastore.

While the members of his task force, armed with tape recorders, fanned out to talk with local counterparts in fields as diverse as exports and hospitals, the Governor huddled in secret with antigovernment students.
