US silent on covert role in Portugal coup
Intelligence officials refused to confirm covert operations in Portugal but acknowledged the 1970s coup surprised Washington. Three agencies told the House intelligence committee the US paid little attention to Portugal and would have struggled to predict the upheaval. Administration sources say the CIA has funneled up to 10 million dollars a month to Portuguese Socialists since June to counter Soviet influence. Lt Gen Samuel V. Wilson said covert-operation questions could only be answered in closed session. The panel previously rejected disclosures of CIA funds in a 112 billion defense bill.
