Castillo, Kenan Fuentealba, and Otto Boye. alt ol me Chilean delegation, Koraclo Bueldo of Argentina, and others, spoke during the long discussion on the TCC. All the speeches were cither an elaboration or rejection of the position taken In the Caldera resolution. The Chileans appeared concerned with the need to be more "poaitlvr" about the TCC and not merely condemnatory. Fuentealba strongly attacked the Caldera resolution on this basis. Sueldo said the position assumed by tbe Com Ha Ion on TCC should not be influenced by th* possibility of disturbing the Europeans. Boyeore precise statement should be issued or none at all. He contended that the draft resolution did not distinguish between TCC aggression againstand dictatorships. He added that the TCCpolitical solution" of the Marxists and that the Christian Democratic Parties should respond with their own solution. Caldera defended his position noting the draft text referred to the defense of the denocratlc system thereby excluding dictatorships.- Caldara successfully countered the Fuentealba and Doye positions by quotinguentealba speech to the Chilean Congress in Uarch which referred to Ihe TCC aa notolitical solution.
