5 On December 3, 1963, the representative of Venezuela, supported by the representative of Costa Rica, introduced a motion before the Council of the Organization requesting a Meeting of Consultation of Foreign Ministers under the Rio Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance, basing the request upon the discovery of Cuban arms hidden along the coast of Venezuela and other acts of aggression in connection with the elections held on December 1. The Council approved the resolution and, acting provisionally as Organ of Consultation, authorized the chairman to appoint the proposed Committee of Investigation. The resolution made no reference to the earlier resolution of October 3 calling for a Meeting of Consultation to determine what measures should be taken to meet the problem presented by the new de facto governments.
