The 'department's statement
was the first public comment
on letters and memorandums
attributed to the International
say and opinion" and said he
was "not going to get into a
dissection" of the communica-
tions between Washington and
Santiago during that period.
Copies of the letters and
memorandums, which were said
to be from the internal files
of I.T.T.; were made available
to the news media yesterday
by Jack Anderson, the syndi-
cated columnist, after he had
based two columns upon them.

ported from Chile, has proved
a political windfall for Dr. Al-
lende, with the Government
press and television contend-
ing that the documents con-
firmed left-wing charges of

poration that purported to show

cooperation of the United
