The Committee for Inter-American Cooperation was formed in New York City in 1940 (under the name of Temporary Committee for Pan American Cooperation). The Committee was sponsored by the Joint Boycott Council and the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies. Its purpose was to foster closer cultural, political and economic relations between the US and Latin America and counter the effects of fascist propaganda and infiltration in the Americas. The Committee was dissolved in 1941.[1]
