PRESIDENT FRANCISCO MORALES BERMUDEZ C.

General Francisco Morales Bermúdez Cerrutti was born on October 4, 1921 in Lima. He is the son of an Army colonel and grandson of Colonel Remigio Morales Bermúdez, who was a hero in the War of the Pacific and President of Perú from 1890 to 1894. Entering the Military School of Chorrillos in 1939, Morales Bermúdez graduated first in his class in February 1943 and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant of Engineering. During his military career he has studied at the Argentinian War College (1957-58) and at the Peruvian Center of High Military Studies. He has also taught at superior War College. He has had an outstanding military career, having received numerous awards for meritorious service.

In March 1968 General Morales Bermúdez, an expert in economics, accepted the Cabinet post of Minister of Economy and Finance in the Belaúnde government, only to resign two months later due to policy differences. After the Revolution of October 3, 1968 Morales Bermúdez returned to head the Ministry of Economy and Finance (March, 1969) and served in that capacity through 1969. On January 1974 he assumed the post of Army Chief of Staff leaving in February 1975 to become Prime Minister and Minister of War, and next in line for the presidency. On August 29, 1975 Morales Bermúdez succeeded to the presidency in a bloodless coup replacing Juan Velasco Alvarado. President Morales Bermúdez is married to Rosa Pedraglio de Morales Bermúdez and is the father of four sons and a daughter.

PRIME MINISTER JORGE FERNANDEZ MALDONADO

General Jorge Fernández Maldonado Solari was born on May 29, 1922 in Ilo, Moquegua. After graduating from secondary school (Colegio de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe in Lima) in 1938, Fernández Maldonado entered the Army Military School of Chorrillos in 1940, graduating and receiving his commission as a Second Lieutenant of Infantry in 1943. His military career has involved further training at the Infantry School, the Superior War School and the Intelligence School. He also received training at the U.S. Army School of the Americas in 1958 and served as army attaché in Argentina (1960-61). A significant part of his military career has been spent in intelligence work. He was promoted to Division General, Perú's highest current rank, in January, 1973.

General Fernández Maldonado first came to public attention on October 3, 1968, when as a Colonel, he read the proclamation announcing the "golpe de estado" and the formation of the military government. In March 1969 he assumed the post of Minister of Development and, in April 1969, received the new portfolio of Minister of Energy and Mines as a result of an administrative reorganization. On September 1, 1975 he was appointed Army Chief of Staff. He took office as Prime Minister and Minister of War on February 1, 1976.

Fernández Maldonado is married to Estela Castro Faucheux de Fernández Maldonado and is the father of two daughters and two sons

FOREIGN MINISTER MIGUEL ANGEL DE LA FLOR V.

General Miguel Angel De la Flor Valle, Foreign Minister of Perú, was born in Ferreñafe-Lambayeque on March 11, 1924. He received his early schooling at the Colegio Nacional "San José" de Chiclayo and then entered the Army on April 1, 1942. After graduating from the Military School of Chorrillos, he received further training at the Infantry School, the Superior War School, and the Superior War School of France (1959-1960). Several times decorated, he returned to teach at each of these Peruvian military schools. He was promoted to Division General, Perú's highest current military rank, in January, 1975.

In addition to his earlier military and government assignments, Foreign Minister De la Flor has served as President of the Peruvian Telephone Company, and, during the same interval in 1971, headed the Training Command of the Army. On January 1, 1972 he became Foreign Minister. Since that date he has traveled to India, Japan, Yugoslavia, France and the United States, among other countries, and was host to the Conference of the Non-Aligned Countries in August, 1975. He has also served as Chief of the Peruvian delegation to UN and OAS General Assemblies.

General De la Flor is married to María Luisa Illich Remotti de De la Flor and has two sons and two daughters.

MINISTER OF ECONOMY AND FINANCE LUIS BARUA

Dr. Luis Barúa Castañeda became the first civilian cabinet Minister in Perú's military government when he assumed the post of Minister of Economy and Finance on September 3, 1975. Dr. Barúa's previous position was that of Director of COFIDE(Corporación Financiera de Desarrollo)which he occupied from January,1973 until September, 1975. In his late forties, Dr. Barúa has had a long and outstanding career in banking and as an economist. His earlier posts have included Director of Macro Economics on INP (Instituto Nacional de Planificación), Director of the Banco de la Nación, President of the Banco Popular del Perú, and Director of Economic Studies in the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

Dr. Barúa received his doctorate in Economics from the University of San Marcos and has done post-graduate studies in the United States. He is married to Hortensia Maldonado Larrabure de Barúa and is the father of three sons and one daughter.

POLITICAL SITUATION

The Peruvian Armed Forces seized power on October 3, 1968 and have instituted a Social and economic program designed to transform Peruvian social. Their reforms affect nearly every facet of Peruvian economic and cultural life, but most dramatic so far have been the changes in the land tenure system and in the fields of industry, mining, foreign and domestic commerce, fisheries, education, the courts, telecommunications and foreign policy.

The government has expropriated private estates and redistributed the land to the workers in the form of state-guided cooperative or collective farms. The target date for completion of this program is July, 1976. Total area affected will be roughly 25 million acres, over one-half of all Peruvian agricultural land.

Industrial reforms include expansion of state participation in ownership and management, especially of basic industries, closer government regulation of private enterprise, and varying applications of the concept of collective private ownership over capital, mixed government-private ownership, and worker participation in profits and management. The state now plays a predominant role in the mining sector through regulation and direct participation in both exploitation and marketing.

-13-

Perú's international commerce is govern-
ment-controlled and the state is the prin-
cipal domestic agricultural buyer and dis-
tributor through a chain of publicly-owned
or affiliated stores. State entities su-
pervise the bulk of Peruvian agricultural
exports. The fishmeal industry, a main-
stay of the Peruvian economy, was expropri-
ated, consolidated and turned over to a
public company in 1973, and government
controlled enterprises are expanding their
share of the food fishing sector as well.
The government owns a controlling interest
of all television companies and both tele-
communications, and energy generation are
now reserved to the state.

According to the revolutionary program out-
lined in the "Plan Inca", the "Revolution
of the Armed Forces will transform economic,
social, political and cultural structures
in order to achieve a new society". This
Revolution defines itself as "nationalist,
independent and humanist". Government
leaders declare that the Revolution rejects
both capitalism and communism, seeking
instead a "social democracy of full partici-
pation".

General Juan Velasco Alvarado led the Octo-
ber, 1968, coup and served as President of
Perú until August 29, 1975 when his heir-
apparent, General Francisco Morales Bermúdez
Cerrutti, replaced him in a bloodless coup.

-14-

The Senate and the Chamber of Deputies were dissolved at the time of the Revolu-
tion. Executive and Legislative power reside in the Junta and the Cabinet (16 military officers and one civilian). Leg-
islation is in the form of "decree laws".
The administration is highly centralized and principal officials of the 24 Peruvian departments (provinces) as well as mu-
nicipal officials are named by the govern-
ment. All the present justices of the Supreme Court were selected by the Cabi-
net, and a Cabinet-appointed National Coun-
cil of Justice was established to fill judicial vacancies and to supervise the judiciary.

In foreign policy, Perú considers itself a "Third World" leader and has cordial rela-
tions with both communist and free-market
economy countries. The Soviet Union, Cuba
and other communist countries, as well as
many western nations, including the United
States, provide economic and technical as-
sistance through bilateral agreements.

The Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces has announced that it intends to remain in power until it has completed its program of basic changes. Representative government is thus in a state of suspension. Nevertheless, political parties continue to maintain offices and hold occasional rallies and conventions.

-15-

In June, 1971, the government established the Social Mobilization System (SINAMOS) to stimulate popular participation in a number of social and economic decision-making areas, and its influence has been widely felt among farm workers, poor urban dwellers and organized labor.

Newspaper activity is governed by the Press Law enacted in July, 1974, under which the independent dailies were expropriated. The government publishes EL PERUANO, the official gazette, and LA CRONICA. Government-appointed directors run the other newspapers pending their final turnover to economic and social organizations as provided for in the new press statute. EL COMERCIO ("The newspaper of the Campesino organizations") is Lima's largest daily. In addition to the "sectorized" press, periodicals expounding diverse political viewpoints were permitted to publish again following the August 29 presidential change. Vigorous debate, led by these periodicals is taking place.

Both democratic and communist trade unions continue to operate. In 1973 the government created a new labor confederation, the Confederation of Workers of the Peruvian Revolution (CTRP).

-18-

The CTRP, the communist-dominated CGTP (General Confederation of Peruvian Workers), and the Christian Democratic CNT (National Workers Confederation) generally support Government policies, while the CTP (Confederation of Workers of Perú) influenced by the opposition APRA party, follows an independent but non-obstructionist line. Relative union strength is extremely difficult to measure. The CTP is strongest in northern Perú and in some cooperatives, and the CTRP is centered in Lima and environs. The CGTP is strong in heavy industry and mining. CGTP unions have engaged in far more strike activity than other nationally-affiliated unions. Perhaps a third of all organized labor is not affiliated to any of the recognized confederations. Some of the most important unions, including the teachers and miners, form part of a far left labor coalition. Strikes of these unions have precipitated occasional confrontations with the military government.

Student organizations are highly politicized, even at the public high school level, but they are severely fractionalized. Hence, they lack widespread mass support and student views do not often command the attention of the authorities.

-19-

The first major action of the Military Gov-
ernment in 1968 was to nationalize the In-
ternational Petroleum Company, principally
owned by United States investors. There
after, the government expropriated or
nationalized other major U.S. holdings,in-
cluding large sugar plantations and refin-
eries, fishmeal producers, another oil re-
fining facility and the Cerro de Pasco
Corporation, the largest U.S.-owned mining
company in Perú. On February 19, 1974,
Perú and the United States signed an agree-
ment (Greene Agreement) providing appropri-
ate compensation, thereby removing an im-
portant impediment to the traditionally
friendly relations between the two coun-
tries. Abrupt expropriation of Marcona
Mining Corporation holdings by the Velasco
regime in July, 1974, necessitated negoti-
ations (now in progress) between the USG
and the Morales Bermúdez government.

Another area of disagreement between the
two governments concerned freedom of the
seas and fishing rights. (Perú claims sov-
ereignty over waters within 200 miles of
its coast.) Recent U.S. Congressional con-
sideration of a 200-mile fishing zone and
anticipated progress at the Law of the Sea
Conference may eliminate potential friction
over this issue.

-20-

The earthquake of May 31, 1970, with its toll of nearly 70,000 persons dead or missing, more than 100,000 injured and approximately 500,000 homeless, evoked an immediate and massive response from the United States. Governmental and private contributions for earthquake relief were valued at $25 million. These contributions, together with Mrs. Nixon's visit to the disaster area in June, 1970, reaffirmed the traditional friendly U.S.-Peruvian ties. The United States continues to assist in reconstruction efforts.

U.S.-Peruvian relations have been strained at times over the last seven years, due primarily to expropriation/compensation questions. Relations have improved since the 1974 Greene Agreement and the 1975 interim Marcona settlement.

-21-

ECONOMY

Since the Spanish conquest, Perú has been world famous for its rich and varied mineral resources. Lead, copper, zinc, and iron ore constitute the principal metals of commercial importance and are frequently mined in lodes also containing silver, bismuth, cadmium, tin, and gold. Other minerals of significance are antimony, tungsten, manganese, selenium, tellurium, and mercury. Among the numerous non-metallic minerals produced, petroleum is the most valuable. Others include coal, salt, limestone, marble, and gypsum. The mining sector accounts for about 40 percent of Perú's total exports.

The agricultural sector is sharply divided between two productive systems - commercial agriculture, largely export-oriented, and consumption agriculture, oriented to local markets and subsistence production. Nearly half the population works in agriculture. The long-standing low growth of agriculture continues to be one of the major issues affecting Perú's development efforts. This essentially reflects the insufficient land base and the fact that a large part of food production takes place under subsistence conditions and with low technology. Per capita agricultural output has not kept pace with population growth, and imports of foodstuffs have increased substantially in recent years.

-22-

From insignificance in 1950 the fish,fish-
meal and marine products industries moved
to the forefront of the national economy.
The principal component of the fishing in-
dustries is fishmeal production. The fish-
meal industry is recovering slowly after a
sharp drop in production in 1972, which re-
sulted from a decline in catches of ancho-
vies because of a shift in ocean currents
a subsequent decrease in fish reproduction
rates. Fishmeal exports in 1974 and 1975
were still well below 1970 and 1971 levels.

In recent years the manufacturing sector
has been one of the most rapidly growing
sectors of the Peruvian economy. However,
further progress in industrialization will
mainly depend upon Perú's ability to com-
pete in the Andean market.

-23-

TRADE

Foreign trade is of fundamental importance to the country, and the diversity of Perú's exports makes the national economy less susceptible than that of many other Latin American countries to price fluctuations for individual commodities.

In 1974 five export commodities (fishmeal, sugar, copper, silver and zinc) accounted for approximately two-thirds of Perú's export earnings. Other exports include cotton, coffee, wool, lead, iron ore, petroleum products, and other minor exports. Available data on export volumes indicated little growth in recent years. From 1972 to 1975 export earnings grew from $943 million to $1,505 million, principally due to higher export prices. Increasing requirements for imports of food, petroleum products, raw materials, and capital goods, and consistently higher prices for imports pushed import expenditures from $812 million in 1972 to $2,491 million in 1975. Up to 1975 the deteriorating balance of trade was covered by net capital inflow. In 1975, however, Perú's reserve position declined by $543 million and resulted in a year-end net reserve position of only $150 million.

-24-

The Peruvian economy registered generally poor performance in 1975 as its balance of payments deteriorated, inflation accelerated, and the rate of economic growth declined. The balance of payments deficit is perhaps the most serious of Perú's economic problems. Little relief can be expected until new copper mines are brought into production in late 1976. Further relief would be provided if Perú becomes self-sufficient in petroleum products by 1978, as is hoped, when oil from the eastern jungle reaches the coast. On September 26, 1975 the trade-rate Peruvian sol was devalued by 16.3 percent. This devaluation was undertaken to prevent decay in export earnings resulting from increasing internal costs.

The pace of inflation accelerated in 1974 and 1975 and has become a major concern to economic policymakers, with annual rates of inflation in excess of 20 percent and substantially higher than historical rates. In January, 1975 the government instituted an austerity program to prevent further economic decline. This program increased taxes and reduced subsidies in order to reduce deficit financing. Prices of a broad array of foodstuffs and petroleum products were increased and stiff limits were set on wage increases.

U.S. INVESTMENT IN PERU

In the early 1970's following the military government's expropriation of several major U.S. owned enterprises and its declaration of intent to nationalize basic industry, the nature of US and other foreign investment in Perú underwent fundamental changes. In February, 1974, an agreement was reached between Perú and the United States by which the military government agrees to compensate owners of properties which it had confiscated from U.S. firms in the 1968-73 period. On December 11, 1975, a provisional agreement concerning the recently expropriated Marcona mining complex was reached between the U.S. and Peruvian Governments. The provisional agreement allows iron ore shipments to resume as talks continue regarding compensation to be paid to Marcona Mining. The Government of Perú is to make an audit of the company's financial position as a step toward reaching a final compensation figure.

New U.S. investment is concentrated in the fields of mining and petroleum, but new "Peruvian-model" management and development contracts (with the government retaining title and a large share of the product) have replaced the former system of mineral and petroleum concessions. The two principal US investments in recent years involve a new copper project, Cuajone, owned by Southern Perú Copper Corporation and Occidental Petroleum's finds of commercial quantities of oil in the Peruvian jungle. Under its contract with the state, Occidental will share its oil equally with PetroPerú, the state petroleum company.

-26-

U.S. ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE

The Agency for International Development (AID) has focused most of its resources on projects in agriculture and education. In agriculture, AID grant assistance, which in prior years helped establish research and extension capabilities, is now concentrated on developing a more systematic approach to problem solving and decisionmaking to help the Government of Perú deal with the rapidly increasing demands on agriculture. A $10 million loan authorized in FY-1974 for rural enterprise development is directed at increasing employment and income opportunities by assisting rural enterprises with an integrated program of credit and technical assistance. In FY-1975 a $7million loan was authorized to strengthen agricultural cooperative federations through the financing of investment, planning, and capital requirements. An $11 million loan was authorized in December, 1975 for improved water and land use in one region of the sierra.

In education, AID is supporting Perú's education reform which emphasizes providing educational opportunities for all Peruvians in order to permit their greater participation in society, as well as providing useful training for the economic needs of the nation. Assistance is directed at education planning and research with emphasis on determining manpower needs, training of administrators, development and testing of non-formal education programs and development and testing of alternative methods of bilingual education for non-Spanish (i.e. Indian) speaking Peruvians.
