I remember, young officer [...] the best intelligence officers that we had, had been trained in schools in Argentina [...] if we were able to enjoy the presence of the Minister of Defense, to include youth in Argentine schools, to train them. I think it would be extremely important and he responded favorably.
Now we will form two committees, one on the side of Argentina and one on the side of the Ministry of Defence of Haiti, in order to make proposals and exchanges in view of the signing of an agreement..."
