Project FUBELT (also known as
Track II) is the codename for the secret CIA operations that were intended to
undermine Salvador Allende's government and promote a military coup in Chile.
The highlights of Project FUBELT
are cited in declassified US government documents released by the National
Security Archive on September 11, 1998, 25 years after the coup, as well as in
papers uncovered by a 1975 congressional inquiry.
CIA memoranda and reports on
Project FUBELT include meetings between US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger
and CIA officials, CIA cables to its Santiago station, and summaries of secret
action in 1970 — detailing decisions and operations to undermine the election of
Salvador Allende in September 1970, to promote the military coup that brought
Augusto Pinochet to power, and support for the military junta in the early years
of its rule.
The documents undermine the claims by Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger that
they had cancelled plans to bring forth a coup against Allende.
