~3- D. The three documents Hendrix mentioned to mé at our last mecting as being incriminating from the point of view of documenting ITT funds of political activities in Chile have not been destroyed. ITT's chief lawyer in N.Y. has told Hendrix that while away ona trip recently, at least four young lawyers in his office read these documents. He tried to transfer one of the lawyers out of his office, and the man threatened to blow the whistle on ITT over these documents if transterrcd. One of tho other four lawyers feels equally strongly about these documents. Asa result, the documents cannot be destroyed. It ic not clear, however, whether ITT plans to turn thes< three documents over to the Senate, Evidentally IT had first hoped to turn these documents over to the Agency for safekceping in . preference to turning them over to the Senate. BE. It has been determined by ITT lewyers that biacking out proper names in docurnents before they turn the documents over to the Senate sub-committee is vermissable. The ITT lawyers are now going over ali 500 docurnenta to do this, concentra on the names of Chileans. If they finally turn over the three sensitive documents to the committee, names of persons, banks, © ‘and @nding mechanisms will be deleted, but the basic purpose of ITT funding Alessandri cannot be hidden. ; F,. In discussing these three decumets, Hendrix said that thé manin N.Y. to whom IIT was to have paid the money for Alessandri was (fnu) Orchard, a Chilean emmployed by UN Secretari: (eather than a member of the Chilean Mission to the UN}. The comp through which the payments were to be made was the Lone Star Shipping Company. (This agrees with information in the files). I acked whether the Swiss Bank account number for other trans- actions was also listed there, and Hendrix looked puzzled and said that no Swiss Bank account was involved, WhenTI pressed and - paid rny understandiug was that earlier he had told me money for the Edwards group went through a Swiss account, he merely said there were no references to thot in these three dacuments, He then said one of the three documente was unfortunately a rmiescage from Gerrity authorizing thet the Alessandri movement be given “half the sum recommended by Hendrix,"
14-00000 o e : 5. Hendrix spoke by telephone to Berrellez on 9 or 10 Nay at which time Berrellez reported on a meeting that day with G@@BRIG-2 in Buenos Aires. This was the first time that aed had met since their early April meeting in N.Y. Berrellez told {FP W@BRIG-2 that he had not been able to make the deposit on the second $100, 000 for reasons Hendrix had explained earlier to me. {(FWARIG-2 was concerned by this and asked that ITT do everything possible to resume these payments since he had money troubles, (Berrellez remarked, however, that (O@RRIG-2 seemed in very good spirts personally, and quite optimistic about the chances of the opposition in Chile). Hendrix plans to reopen the question of resumin . payments to the Edwards people in Chile when he gets back to N.Y. and sees Gerrity. .6, The U.S. manager of the ITT telephone matiufacturing plant in Chile slipped up to the States a few days ago and reported that he thought the government would be moving in on the ITT property very soon, He had already been autherized by the company to send his’ furniture up, ITT is also asking Benjamin Holmes to come up te the U.S. for a visit. I remarked that my recollection was that Holmes was on rather good personal contact with President Salvador Allende, and Jose Toja, but Hendrix commented that even Bolrhes was now under suspicion by the Government of Chile. 7, “Hendrix heard yesterday from Bob Deach (phonetic) of the. ‘Scripps Howard office in Washington that Ambassador Edward Korry had © left his position at OPIC and is now the president of a book seller's associztion according to a press item which appeared within the last ‘two weeks. Hendrix was unaware of this and asked whether I knew | anything about it which I said I did not. 8. He had 2 . rather interesting explanation of the by- play in Chile on turning the ITT nationalization question over te the Congress to _ decide, Berrellez reports that there has been a delay in Allende's — proposal that Congress handle the ITT nationalization because of disagreement on how to proceed, The fear of some hard-liners was that the government was not being tough enough on ITT, Allende's intent apparently is to make a proposal that the Congress would be forced to. reject thereby giving the Prosidont a chance to calla plebiscite on the issue which, being about ITT, he could not possibly lose.
