"Membro do congresso John McCain numa reunião com o presidente Pinochet discutiu os perigos do Comunismo, um assunto pelo qual o Presidente parece obcecado. O Presidente descreveu também a recente história do Chile e a luta contra o Comunismo. e mostrou particular orgulho de que a ameaça Comunista foi totalmente eliminada no Chile. O Presidente também estressou que sempre estiveram sozinhos e reclamou da política exterior dos EUA que os deixou paralisados.
Del Valle, Ministro do Exterior Chileno, fez uma intervenção acalorada sobre a inabilidade dos EUA de entenderem a situação Chilena e como os EUA falharam em ajudar o Chile na luta contra a expansão Comunista.
Merino, funcionário do gabinete Chileno, comentou que as eleições de 1989 seriam livres e que a Junta Militar não apoiaria Pinochet, caso ele se candidatasse."
