Attached is an item from the 0113 of 7 October which I want especially to
call to IIyour attention. .

Noteparticularly the third paragraph; This indicates:
Frei did not pitch in and help the anti-Allende forces;

PDQ remains the only possible center of effective political oppo?
?gition t-to Allende even though almost irrevocably divided now;

Those parts of'the Christian Democrats who are'the most anti-
. ?Allende interestingly enough include the leaders of the Partjr's
- grass roots--1abor, peasant; slum-dweller, and Wernen's groups.

I These ahti-Allendej Christian Democrats could form. the nucleus of effec-
tive opposition if they had some support. Their strength would?depend
I I on their "independence. However, we should consider, think covert
fl . support of these people in Is. longer range ?gameuplan? than just October 24
I fear that we will have to begin from scratch and create a Somewhat longer

Hrange strategy than we had originally thought was necessary. . 1
