JOHN WILLIS: This is Panorama, and our first guest
this afternoon is a familiar face to television viewers of Metromedia
and readers of his syndicated column across the country, Jack
Anderson.
Jack, welcome back.
Well you're up to your neck in it again. Now it's
the ITT thing.
JACK ANDERSON: Yes, it's back to haunt us. Not to
haunt us,-but to haunt somebody.
WILLIS: Well, the ITT involvement, and I'm sure all
our viewers know the background of the story. There is the
charge that they were involved in trying to first of all defeat
Salvador Allende in Chile in his bid for the presidency and
losing that. Then their next move, reportedly, was to try to
disrupt the economy of the state. Their motivations, true and
simple, were to try and preserve their holdings in Chile.
Well, they lost all three. The -- their holdings were
expropriated, correct?
ANDERSON: Yes, their holdings were expropriated and,
of course, you can't blame them for trying to protect their
holdings. But I think they went a little far when they enlisted
the Central Intelligence Agency on their side.
WILLIS: Okay, now, our government isn't suppose to
be working for ITT. Our government works for citizens in foreign
countries by trying to help them when they have a problem.
Could this apply?
ANDERSON: Hell -- -- well hardly. I think that if you
got in trouble in some country that you could hardly count on
the CIA to try to depose the leader of that country.
