[s.] First, let me say that as soon as we learned the’ tragic news, the President of the Republic, accompanied by the Foreign Minister and the Minister of the Interior, visited the United States Ambassador to express the grief ‘and sorrow of the government and people of Chile. The President has sent a cablegram to Mrs. KENNEDY and to the new President of the United States, expressing his condolences. Also, the Foreign Minister has sent a similar cablegram to the Secretary of State. National mourning has been decreed for three days. The President has already made a statement which in a few moments will be given to the press and which I shall send to you. Likewise, the Foreign Minister will make a statement. As far as instructions, while they are being prepared, it seems necessary and indispensable that you proceed to express to the United States ‘Government the condolences of our government and our people, in the fol- lowing manner: Real consternation reigns here, because President KENNEDY was loved and admired by the people of Chile, who knew that he always understood our problems.

"President KENNEDY gave the world a new concept of peace, of justice, of liberty and of democracy. His idealistic and constructive concepts were, in the field of action, becoming realities which have come to signify for the people the hope of a more just and more free tomorrow, "His tragic death is not only mourned by the sister republic of the United States of America. [t is the whole world, which in these hours feels the sorrow of an irreparable loss. Chile shares, fully, this grief because she found in him profound comprehension of her problems and a spirit always determined to help us. "Santiago, 22 November 1963," Please make the suggestions you feel advisable as you announced above, iWoi Because cf the present situation in Washington and the prevalent atmosphere in Congress in respect to the foreign aid program, particularly in respect to the Alliance for Progress, to which I have referred at length in previous cablegrams and notes, I think that the tragic death of President KENNEDY should not pass without very explicit reference to said program, of which he was the creator and the most ardent defender, even to the point that there were times when the maintenance of the Alliance in American circles was entrusted almost exe clusively to the personal battle that he maintained on all oppesing fronts. For this reason, I am suggesting, knowing that it would be very well received in circles of the Administration of the United States, that in President ALESSANDRI’s statement a very special ref- erence be made to the President as author and struggling defender of the Alliance, pcinting out the urgent necese- sity for the United States and all the Latin American

This is my suggestion, “{s.] At this moment, we are seeing whether or not the President 's statement has already been released to the press, in order to be able to make an addition. ' The statement has already been released ta’ the press as we have transcribed it to you. However, we will make use of any further declaration to take your suggestion into account, [w.] The declaration that will be reproduced by all the news- papers of the [xG] since probably later declarations will be confused under the deluge of itportant reactions from many sources. I ask, finally, if it would still not be possible to send the newspapers an additional paragraph to the statement already sent, having in mind that if the President's statement has just been sent, it could mot be actually published yet but would be in the morning news- papers tomorrow. The same Step should be taken in ref- erence to the texts sent to the wire services. [s.] Unfortunately, the statement previously mentioned has already been transmitted by radio; therefore, it is impossible to make any changes. ‘ MS 974 CN | TI o=
