[Body]

Petition by the Leadership of the CC of the Communist Party of Chile

The head of the leadership of the CC of the Communist Party of Chile T. Sorriglia [proper spelling conjecture of the translator], arriving the USSR from the aforementioned country, petitioned for an arrangement, in the near future, to dispatch to Chile 12 communists, after providing them with necessary documents, foreign currency, and equipment.

The Chilean communists, selected by the CC of the CPC [Communist Party of Chile] for a trip to their motherland, live, work and study in Moscow, Krasnodar, Stavropol, and Zaporozhje. They are poorly informed about the true situation of Chile and the nations bordering it; have no experience with conspiracy or similar work.

Because of this it would be worthwhile to organize for the Chilean comrades courses of study on these subjects, lasting up to two months. The instruction is assumed to occur with each one separately, at different times.

The issue has been cleared with the KGB [secret police], under the auspices of the Council of Ministers of the USSR (comrade Chebrikov). The blueprints of the resolution of the CC CPSU are attached.
