in-
telligence representatives from Bolivia,
Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Chile, and
Argentina decided at a meeting in San-
tiago curly in June to set up a com-
puterized intelligence data bunk�known
as operation "Condor"�and to establish
an international communications
network. In a separate agreement.
Uruguayan intelligence agreed
to operate covertly in Paris with its
Argentine and Chilean counterparts
against the Revolutionary Coordinating
Junta and other leftist Latin American
subversive groups.
these security services are
already coordinating operations against
targets in Argentina. In May armed men
ransacked the offices or the Argentine
Catholic Commission on Immigration
and stole records containing information
on thousands of refugees and immigrants.
Argentine police did not investigate the
crime and dismissed it us a simple
robbery. Two days later, 24 Uruguayan
and Chilean refugees, many of whom
were the subjects of .mmission flies,
were kidnaped and tortured for several
hours. Some of the refugees later said
their interrogators were security officers
From Chile and Uruguay. Presumably, a
Chilean-Uruguayan operation could not
have been undertaken without the
cooperation of the Argentine security
forces.
There are also several reports that
Chilean subversive leader Edgardo Enri-
quee, who was arrested by Argentine
security forces on April 10, was subse-
quently turned over to the Chileans and is
now dead. Meanwhile, the Brazilian press
reports that Argentina has handed over to
Chilean authorities a Brazilian political
exile wanted by Santiago.

Until recently, however,
there was no evidence that this coopera-
tion was extensive or very effective.
