# Heraldo Grafico poster, September 1964 (Spanish poster distributed in San Salvador)

A blue-and-white Spanish-language wall newspaper of the U.S. Embassy in El Salvador, with a September 1964 calendar. Photographs report an Organization of American States meeting on sanctions against Cuba, a new rural health unit in Perquin, and a self-help housing programme, each linked to the Alliance for Progress. The tell is card-stacking: only favourable programme news is selected, and the embassy's name and the Alliance emblem lend each item the programme's standing.

Accompanied by senior officials of his Government, the President of the Republic, Colonel Julio Adalberto Rivera, went to a farm of the coffee grower Diaz Salinas, in the "Canton Galeano", where he launched the peasants' "self-help" programme: "Operation Dominica."
