Finding Jessica

...concerning the possibility of Salvador Allende winning the 1970 presidential election in Chile..

"One in 10 chance perhaps, but save Chile!
worth spending
not concerned with risks involved
no involvement of Embassy
$10,000,000 available, more if necessary
full time job- best men we have
game plan
make the economy scream
48 hours for plan of action"

(notes taken by CIA Director Richard Helms at a September 15 emergency White House meeting...that reflects the "tenor" and the President's instructions)

Interesting, but we can't help ourselves?
