September 14, 1974

The accident occurred when a mechanic was “cracking” a plane without securing it and started the engine without mooring or taking precautions, starting a crazy race that ended after colliding with two other planes that were parked. The material damages were conservatively estimated at 170 thousand pesos. The plane was at the Guamúchil airport when the accident occurred. The name of the irresponsible mechanic was not provided.

Kissinger is being held accountable. Washington. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger “must be held accountable to the people and Congress for having been the author of Chile policy” during the government of the late President Salvador Allende, according to a request from the Democratic congressman who denounced alleged CIA activities in Chile. Democratic Representative Michael Harring proposed that Congress study the possibility of submitting to the Justice Department the texts of statements by State Department officials on Chile to determine whether there was perjury. Speaking at a press conference, Harrington said that the CIA must put an end to its covert and paramilitary activities, otherwise it will deserve all the discredit that is coming to it. He alleged that the so-called “Committee of 40,” chaired by Kissinger, had authorized up to 11 million dollars to finance secret CIA activities in Chile between 1962 and 1973. Harrington’s accusation became known a few days ago and he made public the letters he sent on July 1 to the presidents of the Senate and House Foreign Policy Committees, William Fulbright and Thomas Morgan. He reiterated that he had reached the conclusion that the CIA had subverted the Allende government after having the opportunity to read the secret CIA testimony.
