Nixon Latin American Policy Hit As Neglect
Washington analysts label Nixon administration Latin American policy the politics of neglect while supporters call it realism. U.S. aid to Latin America has fallen to a decade low, military assistance slashed 75 percent, and missions reduced about half from two years ago. State Department Latin America declarations have dried up as Rogers visits other regions. Critics say the policy ignores widening wealth gaps and fails to address underdevelopment and illiteracy. Rockefeller’s 83 recommendations largely sit ignored, while Kennedy expert Schlesinger questions the rise in priority for hemispheric issues.
