The United States fails by one vote to oust Fidel Castro from the OAS at Punta del Este. A watered-down resolution would isolate Cuba, suspend it from the Inter-American Defense Board, and push for a hemisphere wide arms embargo while asserting the regime is incompatible with the inter-American system. The plan seeks minimal measures with OAS Council approval in Washington, and reaffirms the Alliance for Progress.
