The documents published here were provided by Ambassador Edward M. Korry during his visit to the CEP, in October 1996, as complementary material to the testimony contained in his lecture and the interview he gave on that occassion. The material firstly contains telegrams exchanged during August 1970 between Ambassador Korry (at that time head of the United States’ diplomatic mission in Chile) and the US State Department. In addition there is the Contingency Report that the Ambassador dubbed "Fidelism without Fidel", also dated August 1970, and which provides a detailed account of what could be expected if Salvador Allende were to win the presidential elections of September 4th, and the policy the United States government should follow in the face of that eventuality. Most of the recommendations drawn up in this report are what later were to guide United States policy towards Chile during the government of Salvador Allende. The telegrams and the report both clearly provide valuable background data concerning the statements and opinions offered by Ambassador Korry in his presentation "The USA-in-Chile and Chile-in-the-USA", and in the interview published in this edition of Estudios Públicos.
