'Dirty Tricks' in Chile
According to apparently well-founded
reports, Central Intelligence Agency
Director Willr dr"'btbp*'itil privately
.told a Congressional committee that the
Nixon Administration authorized more
than $8 million for clandestine disrup-
tion of the Allende regime in Chile be-
tween 1974 and 1973. These operations,
designed to "destabilize" that country
and make it impossible for Allende to
govern, are said to- have been approved
by a panel headed by Henry_ Kissinger.
These reports indicate that the busi-
ness of "dirty tricks" was conducted
throughout a period when U. S. officials
were solemnly denying to Congress and
the- country charges of hostile opera
tions against the Chilean government.
A full-scale Congressionalreexami-
nation of. the story is urgently. needed.
