Career
[edit]President of the National Council of Government
[edit]Harrison was elected to the ruling nine-member National Council of Government in 1959.[1] A member of the ruralista faction of the National Party loyal to Benito Nardone, he proposed a more ambitious Ministry of Economy that would take greater responsibility for economic planning – an idea that would not come to fruition.[2][3] From 1 March 1962 he served a one year term as President of the National Council, as the National Council officials rotated the chairmanship among themselves during their periods in office.[1][4]

[edit]Harrison died of a heart attack on 20 August 1963 in Montevideo, a few months after completing his presidential term.[1]
