14-00000 ‘ : e . Ate , ig 4 : Ne BD, The three documents licndrix mentioned to me at our last mecting as boing incriminating from the point of viovr of documenting ITT funds of political activities in Chile have not been destroyed. ITT's chief lawyer in N.Y. has told HMendri: . that while away ona trin recently, at least four young lewyers 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 transferred, One of the other four lawyers feels equally strongly aboul these documents, Asa result, the documents cannot be destroyed. lt is not clear, however, whether IT'T plans to turn thes. three documents over to the Senate, Evidentally ITT had firsthaped  - to turn these documents over to the Agency for safekeeping i preference to turning therm over to the Senate. é & sensitive documents to the committee, nemes of persons, banks, and Q@nding mechanisms will be deleted, bet the basic purpose of ITT funding Alessandri cannot be hidden. 2 2 i. Im discussing these three decuments, Hendrix said that thé manin N.Y. to whom IIT was to have paid the money for Alessandri was (inu) Orchard, a Chilean ernployed by UN Secretaria (ether than a member of the Chilean Mission fo the UN}. The cersp: i . ' - through which the payments were to be made was the Lone Clar ; Shipping Company, (This agrees with information in the files). iL acked whether the Swiss Bank account number for other trans- actionz was also listed there, and Hendrix looked puzzled and said — that no Swise Bank account was involved, WhenTI pressed and Haid rny understanding wes that earlier he had told me meney for the Edwards proep went through a Swiss account, he merely - soid there were no referonces to thot in these Unree decumonts, He then said one of the three documents was unfortunately a rnescage fram Gerrity authorizing thet the Alessandri movement be given “half the sum recommended by hendrix," .

Berrellez toidf/FUBRIG-~2 that he had not been alle to make the deposit on the second nes O60 for reasons Hendris: had explained earlier to me, (FUPRIG-2 was concerned by this and asked that ITT do everything poasibie to resume these payments since he ha money troubles. (Berrellez rernerked, however, that FURRIG-2 seemed % in very food spirts personally, and guite optimistic about the chances ; of the opp ositionin Chile). Hendrix plans to reopen the question of resuming payments to the Edwards * eople i n Chile when he pets back to N.Y. and sees Gerrity. .6, The U.S. manager of the 2liT telep! hone manufecturin ng plant in Chiles slipped up to the States a faw days aro and reported that he thought the government would be moving in on the ITT property ay oo Hon soon, Fle had already been authorized by the company to send } . furniture up, ITT is also asking Beniamin Holmes to come up te th es U.S, for a visit. 1 reanarked that ey recoliection was that Holme was on rather good psrsonal contact with Presi dent Saiv ndor Allende, and Jose Toja, but Hendrix commen onted that even Folrnes was now ‘under suspicion by the Government of Chile. . 7.

Hendrix was unaware of this and asked whether I knew anything ebout it which I said I did not. ey , &. We had a rather interes ating explanation of the by-~play in . Chile on turning the ITT nationalization question over to the Congress to decide, Vserrellez reports that there has been a delay in Allende! & proposal that Congress handle the ITT nationalizaticn because of disagreeient on how to proceed, khe fear of some hard-liners Was that the povernment was not being tous, gh enough on ITY, Allende's intent oppay ently is to make a proposa al that the Cougress would be forced to Bow wan FE cot nF. bd o® Say Care ce Pre EBpSCi£G On Uhre y lose.
