    • 89. Airgram From the Embassy in Chile to the Department of State, Santiago, November 1, 1971

      Summary: This airgram summarized the Chilean Constitutional Reform Law for the nationalization of the major copper mines, providing a detailed analysis of the terms of the original bill, its subsequent congressional modifications, and the President’s determination of the “excess profits” provision. It concluded that Allende’s government had consciously applied a particularly harsh interpretation of the law to U.S. companies.
