THE REPORTED PLAN TO ESTABLISH A CHILEAN GOVERNMENT -IN-EXILE
IN CARACAS, VENEZUELA, WHICH WOULD BE HEADED BY FORMER INTER iIOR
MINISTER CARLOS BRIONES SEEMS A NON-STARTER. CHILEAN EXILE AND
OPPOSITION ELEMENTS HAVE KICKED AROUND SUCH PROPOSALS BEFORE WITHOUT
TANGIBLE RESULT. THE LATEST DISCUSSIONS APPARENTLY INVOLVE THE MORE
MODERATE OPPOSITION GROUPS. VIOLENCE-PRONE EXTREMISTS REPORTEDLY
ARE AGAINST THE IDEA AND WOULD BE UNLIKELY TO AGREE TO SUBORDINATE
VENEZUELAN AGREEMENT TO HOST SUCH A SET-UP, MOREOVER, IS DOUET-
FUL. ALTHOUGH THE VENEZUELAN GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN CRITICAL OF THE
CHILEAN GOVERNMENT'S POLICY ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND HAS GRANTED
ASYLUM TO FORMER OFFICIALS OF THE ALLENDE REGIME, IT IS EXTREMELY
UNLIKELY THAT PRESIDENT PEREZ WOULD LEND HIS SUPPORT TO A GOVERPN-
MENT-IN-EXILE OR EVEN PERMIT ITS "OFFICIALS" TO OPERATE OPENLY IN
THE COUNTRY. E-2 INPDET-H 25X1A9a
