Scope and content

Unsigned telegram (SC 3202A), dated May 31, 1967, which addresses the post-presidential transition period in Brazil and its possible consequences for US interests. The author mentions conversations with Arthur da Costa e Silva, ambassadors, ministers, commanders, among others, highlighting the optimistic but apprehensive climate regarding the new president. The author expresses concern regarding Costa e Silva's more independent political stance towards the US and concludes by reinforcing the need for closer relations between the US and the Brazilian Armed Forces, as the parties have common interests.
