B. /Accomplishments:-1
By the beginning of next week Santiago Station will have
"fal"Se flag" staffers actively engaged in contacting Chilean
military leaders. 40 Committee approval to suspend U.S. mili-
tary aid to Chile until after the election might make our key
targets more receptive to coup proposals.
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.
