3. PURPOSE OF EXERCISE IS TO PREVENT ALLENDE ASSUMPTION
OF POWER. PARLIAMENTARY LEGERDEMAIN HAS BEEN DISCARDED.
MILITARY SOLUTION IS OBJECTIVE.
4. FIRST AND FUNDAMENTAL TASK IS TO INDUCE FREI TO TAKE
ACTION WHICH WILL PRODUCE DESIRED RESULT. AFTER TEES WE GET
FUZZY SINCE WE HAVE NO CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE WISH
FREI TO DO OTHER THAN LEAD MILITARY COUP HIMSELF, SOMETHING
WE CAN HARDLY EXPECT OF THIS TOO-GENTLE SOUL. WE CAN WIST-
FULLY ASPIRE TO HAVE HIM ACT IN MANNER WHICH WILL NOT ONLY
EXACERBATE CLIMATE FOR COUP BUT WHICH WILL ACTUALLY
PRECIPITATE IT.

PARAGRAPH, OUTLINE WHAT ACTIONS YOU BELIEVE SHOULD BE TAKEN
TO ACHIEVE OBJECTIVES.
6. QUESTIONS ON PARA FIVE ABOVE. A) CAN FREI SUCCESSFULLY
INSPIRE RESIGNATION OF HIS CABINET WITHOUT A SUITABLE PRETEXT?
DOES PRETEXT NOW EXIST? IF NOT CAN WE CREATE ONE? WHAT
SHOULD IT BE AND WHAT CAN WE DO TO BRING IT ABOUT? B) DOES
FREI HAVE CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY TO APPOINT ACTING PRESI-
DENT? WOULD NOT ACTING PRESIDENT BE EITHER MINISTER OF
INTERIOR OR PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE? IN EVENT MINISTER OF
THE INTERIOR FREI CLEARLY SHOULD APPOINT. PROJECTED COUP
LEADER AS MINISTER OF INTERIOR SO THAT HE CAN TAKE OVER,

LEAVE THE COUNTRY IMMEDIATELY WITHOUT PERMISSION OF
CONGRESS AND STILL BE ACTING WITHIN CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITS?
MIGHT IT BE PREFERABLE TO HAVE HIM REMAIN IN SECLUDED RE-
TREAT WITHIN CHILE?
7. OUR PREOCCUPATION WITH HAVING FREI ACT CONSTITU-
TIONALLY IS NOT BASED ON DELICATE SENSE OF LEGALITY BUT ON
TWO REALITIES: A) IT MIGHT BE EASIER TO INDUCE FREI TO TAKE
NECESSARY ACTION IF HIS ACTS CAN ALL BE CLOTHED ENTIRELY IN
CONSTITUTIONAL TERMS -- FROM HIS SELECTING MILITARY CABINET,
TO RESIGNATION, ETC. AND PERMITTING ONLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL
ACT TO BE MILITARY'S REFUSAL TO ALLOW ALLENDE ASSUME
