In a note dated October 11, 1974, the Commission reqeusted the Government of Uruguay to provide the appropriate information. A copy of that request was transmitted to the Uruguayan Mission to the OAS on October 17, 1974.
During its thirty-fourth session (October 1974) the Commission decided to postpone examination of the case, in view of the fact that the 180-day period provided for under Article 51 of the Regulations for the government concerned to provide the corresponding information had still not elapsed.
In a note of May 23, 1975, mentioned earlier, the Government of Uruguay requested an extension of 90 days for provision of the information requested.
The Commission considered this request during its thirty-fifth session (May 1975) and decided to grant a 30-day extension to the Government of Uruguay for transmittal of the information requested. This decision was brought to the attention of that Government on June 12, 1975.
