ITT Asked to Stop Allende With Six Month Plan
The International Telephone and Telegraph submitted to the White House an 18 point plan in October 1971 to block Chilean President Allende from taking office and push him from power via economic warfare, CIA assistance, and diplomatic pressure. Merriam’s letter and the action memorandum outlined strategies to disrupt Chilean credit, copper exports, and vital imports, hoping to provoke a military intervention.
