The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Chile ( Bowers )
265. Information reaching Department indicates that PQZ Case is not being prosecuted effectively, that nine subjects in the case have [Page 792] been released and that the Judge in charge refused to issue necessary orders for arrests, and the case gives every indication of following the same lines as PYL Case, which you will recall, through lack of proper legal procedure was allowed to completely disintegrate. Please discuss these questions with the Foreign Minister59 emphasizing to him the necessity for taking vigorous and conclusive action.
Department intends to follow similar lines with the Chilean Ambassador here.60
