policy* toward Chile wwrill be the concept underlying Option C of
agency paper submitted November 3, 1970 by the Department of State for
the consideration of the National Security Council as outlined in the guide--
lines set forth below.
The President has decided that (1) the public posture of the United States
will. be correct but cool, to avoid giving the Allende government a basis
on which to rally domestic and international support for consolidation of
the regime; but that (2) the United States will seek to maximize pressures
on the Allende government to prevent its consolidation and limit its ability
to implement policies contrary to U. S. and hemisphere interests.
Specifically, the President has directed that within the context of a publicly
cpol and correct posture toward Chile:
.. vigorous efforts be undertaken to assure that other govexnrezlts
in Latin America understand fully that the U. S. opposes consolida-
tion of a communist state in. Chile hostile to the interests of the
United States and other hemisphere nations-, and to the extent
possible encourage them to adopt a similar posture.
close consultation be established with key governments in Latin
America, particularly Brazil and Argentina, to coordinate efforts
to oppose Chilean moves which may be contrary to our mutual
interests; in pursuit of this objective, efforts should be increased
