President Lyndon B. Johnson “is committed to the Alliance for Progress” and Cooperation With Latin America

The Alliance for Progress, initiated by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, aimed to establish economic cooperation between North and South America. The aid was intended to counter the perceived emerging communist threat from Cuba to U.S. interests and dominance in the region. Because of the program, economic assistance to Latin America tripled almost immediately. Chile was an intended showcase of the program and California agreed to enter into a technical cooperation agreement with that nation, focusing its energies in the areas of agriculture, education, water resources, and highway transportation. The program officially began in December 1963, just as LBJ was taking office, and as expressed here, he had every intention of maintaining the Alliance for Progress.

Typed Letter Signed, on green White House letterhead, Washington, December 10, 1963, to California Governor Pat Brown. “I want to thank you for your warm remarks during the California-Chile signing ceremony today. My Administration is firmly committed to the Alliance for Progress. As I said in my statement…we deeply appreciate your State’s great support, and you will have mine – in this major new program under the alliance.”
