MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Deputy Director for Intelligence
SUBJECT : Chile Seminar
I am happy to re ort that the Chile Seminar held at
I I on July 1-2 was an unqualified
success. The in orma atmosphere I I as well as
the selection of participants helped immeasurably in this
regard.
The outline developed by I I provided the
vehicle for the formal sessions, although the discussions
were wideranging. This was particularly true during the
breaks when conversations on Chile continued. Our dis-
tinguished guest, I and
now Deputy Chief, Division, DDO), was asked to review
the milieu under which the military undertook the ouster
of President Allende last September. His participation
throughout the seminar was outstanding.
A few other participants, although not intimately
familiar with Chile, did join in the discussions so that
everyone participated. I made it a point to go around
the table as we progressed down the agenda. I was grate-
ful for the participation of two OER analysts who brought
experience, good sense and a degree of articulateness,
which is so necessary to understand economic problems.
Notwithstanding the formal discussions, the real
value to the participants in this seminar was the friend-
ship they evolved with their counterparts in the Agency.
We all developed an appreciation for each other's ideas
and the value of an interchange of this nature. At the
end of the session several persons underscored their
gratitude for having been invited. told a
colleague that it would be a good idea to meet again in
a year's time to review Chile again. I heartily recommend
that more of these seminars be held.
