C. Situation:
� The situation remains relatively unchanged. President
Frei is still unwilling or unable to pave the way for a mili-
tary cabinet. Apparently he harbors the hope that he can work
out a political solution to the present dilemma. The PDC junta
today, however, may force Frei to reconsider the feasibility of
a political solution.
At the same time the military remains reluctant to move
against Allende despite their knowledge that the USG is con-
sidering cutting military aid to Chile and that no guarantees
exist ensuring the positions of top military leaders.
