the conversation too but his recorder ma1-functioned and no record resulted Mr Teruqqi then said he woul d l ike to see al l the files that you have on the case invol ving my son Purdy rcpl ied that

this point mid indicated that by dipl omatic tradition these notes are prepared in the third person · t1r Taruqgi then said that Kate Marshal l in the Department of State had told him we were in contact at the highest levels and asked if this were true Mr Purdy replied that it CUI his underst-miding that Ambassador Davis had discussed the cases of Frank Teruggi and Charles Borman ·with Foreign Minister Huerta and had even dulcussed it directly with members of the Junta Mr Purdy indicated that be himself at a party had mentioned the case to General Leigh of the Junta who had indicated that he was aware of the Embassy• s interest in the deaths of the t1o10 United States citizens Mr Purdy mentioned that naturally he coul d not pursue the matter further at that time because of the cirCUillStances Mr Teruggi then said that on the afternoon of February 21 he had met with General Bonilla the Minister of Interior at which time General Bonilla bad ta lean out a file and had provided him tl th essentially the same information that was contained in the note which had been translated and forwarded to run by the Department of State This 1« Ul d be note of December l 3 1973 from the Foreign Ministry in which both the Borman and Teruggi cases were d i acussed • Ir Teruggi said that be had then presented General Bonil l a with a copy of the l etter be had received from David Hathaway General Bonilla had the l etter translated to hint l ooJr ed at his Aide and said Why hadn't r been made awaro of tho detru l s in this l etter He then tol d Mr Teruggi that based upon

UNCLASSIFlEO HNClASSIFit 4 i To the Consu1ar Officers Mr ' eruggi said he fonnd General Bonilla very receptive apparently surprised by the items contained in the Hathaway l etter and be felt sincere in his promise to check further into the case Teruggi then said he bad been bare abl e to get in£ormation to the Chilean to re-open the investigation ihile the ment of State had done nothing in over Mr four days and had been Government to enable it Embassy and the Departfour 1110nths eomment Mr Teruggi showed tl1e letter ve ry briefly to Mr Purdy and then withdrew the letter 'rhe Consular Officers are not exactl y awa re of the fuil contents of the letter of the points which concerned him was that Frank J 'l'e ruggi Jr had been detained for a brief period of time in the NCO School of the Uniformed National Police Mr Anderson at this point drew to Mr 'l'eruggi's attention the fact that the note received from the Foreign Office and dated on December l3 indicated that the Foreign Ministry had sent the pertinent questions and other information to both the civilian police and the Ministry of Interior He pointed out although ·we could not be assured t 'lat General Bonilla saw these since it is his Ministry we could only assume that be was aware of the case At this point there was some discussion of dipl omatic procedures mainly liandled by Ms Langford - f r Terugqi then observed that the Embassy apparently sticks by its story that we did not hear of the detention of his son until the mo ing of September 24 when it was informed by t- r Stephen Volk I-' r Purdy replied that we understood that Stephen Volk had indicated that he had reported the detention the morning of September 21 but it was our understanding that he had l ater retracted this Mr 'l'erugqi indicated that i t might have caused confusion but he knew Stephen Vol k did not report the detention until the morning of September 24 5 Ms Langford then said •it appears that your records are very imp vised • because she coul d see the box in which ' e were retaining the teDpOrary registration and information on United States citizens during the immediate post-coup period t '1at i t might appear that tbey were improvised 'however she must remember that we had quickly to estabJ ish a method of keeping in touch with Americans Be said that be was one of the officers who stayed in the consul ate for two and one-hal f days wile there was a complete curfew in order to anst ror questions from Americans and give them assistance rn doing this he asked each cal l er to give his Dl litl8 address and te1ephone number and pl aced i t on a mimeographed form and then kept it in that box for future reference Mr Anderson stressed that we made every effort to get the name of 2ny cal 1er even though it might nave been duplicated in the regular fil es • l lr Anderson said Ms Langford then asked if this box were protected 1•- - Purdy repl ied that the box was kept in his office and that the consul ate was opened and c1osed hy an American official and that only the American officers and the Chil ean local empl oyees had access to theve records Ms Langford then asked i f it were his opinion that it were possibl e for som ' hody with an uJ terior motive to have extracted cny of the records I r Purdy ndicatcd that he strong1y doubted this had oc red lr Teruggi then asked i f _based on this we felt wo _ oul d have had a record had eithe his son or anyone eJ se ca1J cd about him ·1 Purdy rep1ied that he bcl ieved that wou1d be the case PAP T II rn speaking of hio meeting with General Bonil1a Mr Teruqgi said the information given him hy the Genera1 was the same as that contained in the State Department report Be asked why no ne information had been secured by the Embassy since the datEo of that report llMCliSSlflEO rl Mr Purdy replied that no new information bad been provided by the Chilean authorities even though the Embassy had made numerous contacts requesting clarification of the case Te ruqqi said he had visited the NCO School and the commander there had told him that no one from the El lbassy had been there to check Mr Mr Anderson explained that this was not true because he and Mr McNa1ly had gone to the School on October 1 and had seen the record of the detention there of 'l'eruggi and Hathaway ' At one point in the conversation Mr 'l'eruqqi said that he had tal ked to the commander of the Carabinero NCO School on February 21 The colllffll lnder had told him that if he wanted any information he woul d have to go through proper channels He said he asked the commander if anybody had made any inquiries of them and the commander said no no one had anked about his son having been there Hr Anderson asked for the name of the officer and Mr Teruggi said he didn't know Mr Anderson then said that they had recentl y changed commanders of that scbool and that officer must be new Mr Terugqi said no that _he specificall y tol d ru m had be at the school in ·sept ember when the coup d'etat occurred Mr Anderson then told Mr 'l'eruggi that be had been misinformed because on October l Mr Anderson and Mr McNally had gone to the NCO school had been srown the papers listing both Teruggi and Hathaway and the signature where they had been accepted by officers at the National Satidum from personnel of t ' le School We were not allowed to read these papers to any great extent but e saw them lr Anderson can definJ tely state that inquiries were made to the School rel ative to the subject Mr Teruqqi reported that Bonill a had said that Americans who had been detained were always given special attention Be a1so asked about the rel ease statements that were sometimes required before prisoners were re1eased ' r Purdy repl ied that th s process started approxi I latel y September 2l the same day that Frank was reported rel eased but was not used in all cases Hs Langford asked if the assy woul d re-open the case now that General Bonilla had offered to investigate further -lr Purdy repl ied that we had never considered the case to be cl osed and that we woul d be happy to investigate any information provided us Mr Teruggi said be fel t the Embassy did not use sufficient press e to get a ful l report from the Chil eans Be added that t 'lie Dutch had tol d him that they secured the rel ease of their citizens sillg ly by threatening to break rel ations with Chile i I 'l Mr Anderson pointed out that this threat woul d not have worked for the United States at the tine of Frank's detention because the United States had suspended rel ations with Chil c and these rel ations ere not reinstated until l ater Hr Terugqi said th i t two Holy Cross priests Fl ynn md Doherty had tol d him that the way to get anything done woul d be to contact the Dutch Embassy They reported that a bl ack Dutchman had gotten into the StadiUitl on numerous occasions and had gotten Dutch citizens out Ir P dy said he knew of on1y one occasion on which a Dutch officer had gotten into the Stadium but that the Dutch themsel ves had admitted this had been a l ucky rnistw e and they had not been successful in repeating it Dutch Second se etary Hoytink the source of the above information given to Mr Teruggi tol d Purdy at a recent social occasion that the Dutch had not had any spectacul ar luck in freeing their citizens some of whom bud been detained for a l ong period of tine - r Tcruqgi al so indicated that it was the Dutch who had told him that his son had been dead a few hours when his body was del ivered to the morg- m Ut ClASSIFIED Mr Anderson said that according to his recollection the circumstances did not support the report that be had ooen dead •only a few hours• when the p 1 lrnin ry autopsy was performed Mr Anderson said he had been shown the records in the morgue and he believes that the date of the preliminary autopsy was September 24 that is two days al most after the body was brought to the lllOrgue Ms Langford asked what the preliminary report said and Mr Anderson replied that i t merely listed the death as multiple bullet wounds and described the clothes on the body when i t was brought to the morgue The report also said that the body bad been brought to the morgue at 2115 hours by the military and that the body had been found on the street This was not mentioned to them Mr Purdy asked Mr Teruggi if i t was true as he had beard that his son had called home after the ooup d • etat and had said that if in trouble he would head for the mountains Mr Terugqi repl ied that Frank had called him on the l 5th of September to say he was ok and that his family should not do anything about sending hilll money to return home On the 17th he again called and spoke to s Teruggi and said he thought he might be able to get out of Chile via Argent -- P r Teruggi acided tno t David Hathaway had subsequently told him that he fel t that Frank had not real ly considered this possihility scriousl y Be al so mentioned that his son and Hathaway had stayed away f m llome the first few nights after the coup d'etat 2 lthough we didn • t reveal it the COilS' ilate was unaware of this Mr Tc ggi then mentioned th it the report that General Bonil la showed him still roontioncd the oxginal charge that Frank had been picked up for violating the curfew I- r Purdy asked if Mr Tcruggi inquired of General Bonill a as to why this was later del cted from subsequent report Mr Teruqai said he had not done so because it did not rna lte much difference liiCl SS f £0 Ll CLASSIFltC Ms Lanqford said the Embassy knows that the Chileans are B S ingN us and wondered why the Embassy didn't point out the discrepancies to the Chileans Mr Anderson and Mr Purdy emphasized that we had questioned the Chil eans '3hout these discrepancies on various occasions and at various levels Ms Langford said there rmst be some way of exerting mre pressure Mr Teruggi said that Congressman Young also had told him that he could not understand why the Embassy coul d not get more information from the Chileans Ms Langford said •we have to start on the assumption that they killed him Sbe said that even the neigbbors around near where Frank and David lived had said that Prank was not released on the same evening She also said General Bonilla had assured them that no prisoners were released near the curfew hour l-lr Terugai reported that the first he had heard about his son's arrest ·was on September 28 when Charles Anderson of the Departmcnc cal led him He reported that Anderson had told him that t e Chileans had informed us that Frank had been released and told to go to the ·Embassy -but had not done so Mr Purdy and r Anderson indicated that this was the first time that they had heard this bit of information At this point Mr Terugqi said •x guess I might as well tell you about a report that I have just recently received 0 This he described as a third-hand report from a very rellabl e so ce gotten throu h e foreign d ipl omatic Jlt i 1 1sion concerning a word of mou h report about Frruik's laat hours He added that the report had been written in Spanish but had been translated for him At this point he broke do'l'm in tears and l atcr said •it• s sickening reading Be indicated that ho did not wish to rel ease the report until he had discussed it with Mrs Teruggi upon his URCllSS f EO --· -- return home Be said ho ever th t the report proved that his son had not been released as indicated by the Chi1eans but had died vihil e still in military hands At several points in discussing this report Mr Teruggi used the phrase if this report is true H r Anderson asked why the persons giving the information had not brought i t to the attention-of the Enibassy and Mr Teruqgi replied that ·then they heard be was coming to Chile they had given the ir formation to the European Embassy which had subseque -itl y given it to him Be did not indicate bow the person had r nown of his trip Mr Tcruqqi asked Mr 1 Ilderson if he had seen his son's body l-1 Anderson answered in the affirmative nnd said that he hnd not been that close to the body because there had been too many people in the room and Mr Anderson had gone back and stood by the -door - and -waichcd proceedings and thus did not approach the bod • directly the r - Terugctl interjected yes Stephen VoL' had told me you stood by the door over Be then asked if they had turned the body Anderson said that what- had oc red was that when they entc e d the area where the bodies were Mr McNally and one of the rgue employees had gone one way looidng for the body carrying J1c appropriate nu - iber and Stephen VolJ had gone the othor way anc stopped before t '1e body be identified as that of Frank and 't fiiich turned ou't to have the appropriate nu 'nber At this point ttr 1' ndcrson ucnt to the door Volk and McNally then looked at tile body· One o the oorgu e attendants raised first one foot and then the other foot and then went back to the first foot again Mr Anderson indicated that at that point no one could tc1J us which foot bore the scar lr Anderson then asl- ed one o t ie morgue attendants -mo was standing with him at the door i he woul d mind l ooking into the mouth to see if two teeth had ntly been ext racted This person then put on gloves raised l•l 7 • FIFI ii the head and opened the mouth but indicated that he coul d not be sure Mr Anderson indicated be could not recal1 that the body had been turned over tn this regard Mr Terugqi referred to the left side of the neck where he thought a cut was very visil le Mr Anderson said that this round was on the right side rather than the l eft Mr Purdy then said he had also seen the body and that he had seen a mark in the che·ek which to him l ooked like a pimpl e but which people have later said is what a bullet bole looks like Ms Langford aske if there were y evidence of torture on the body when it ·was seen by Ur Anderson Hr Terugqi discusses having information in Spanish telling the last twenty-four hours of Frank's life Mr Teruggi also asked Mr Anderson if he had seen any signs of torture or if an autopsy report would no o ially have indicated if someone had been tortured 1-ir A '1 derson replied that he sm no signs of torture and he just die not k '1 0W whether torture ould have been visibl e on a body or hethcr an autopsy report might say in that regard Us Lanqford then said Did_th body have all of its _fingers and toe£ U 1 r Anderson replied that he had not seen any missing toes or fL gers Ur Purdy also said that h e had seen the body _and had oeen no indicatioru of torture nr l' nderson said to Mr Teruggi that he 10uld J ike to cl arify one possible misinterpretation that Mr Teruggi might have nmooly hllt the identification of the body had been conducted by the GOC incJ uding the dental identification The J atter point however is zornewhat incorrect in that Frank's own dentist accompru1ied by the s sreon wpo hc d e -tractcd the two teeth had first identified the body at the request of the Embassy and their information had been made avail abl e only to the Embassy It is true however that the GOC later used the same x-rays to raconstruct a dental identification Mr Terugqi asked i £ ' had heard of a Professor Paul Sigmund 0£ Princeton un i versity Mr Purdy replied that the nmne 80U1lded familiar but be could not identified the professor Mr 'l'erugqi did not gbre any further information IUlOut the professor Ms Langford again brought up the subject of increasing the pressure on the Chilean Govel nment Mr Terugqi said that Char1es Anderson Department SCS had tol d him the Chileans would neve£-admit --it if t hey had killed his son He added however that Genera1 Bonill a had seemed to acknowledge ci Chil ean mil itary role in his son• s death ' l 'hen he said If I find he died while in militru y bands I'm very sorry • Ms Langford said she was not at liberty to discl ose the source the ten days·· immediately after the coup d'etat the Embassy was tell ing peopl e tbere was no danger to Americans and was even sending them to see the police She said she understood fo r·exampl e -that Charles Borman had to Consul ate seeking hel p but she knew that during come the Mr Purdy interjected that be knew of the source of information for the l ast item Be said it was Mr Frank Manitzas who has been l ess than reliable on his reporting of the occur ranees in Chile especiall y with respect to the Elllbassy's rol e For exampl e he had said that he sitW Charles Borman in the Embassy at a time when he was in Vifla de1 Mar -15 Langford said no that he was not the source of the information and Mr Purdy said he might not have been the one who talked to her but he was the orignator of that false piece of ini ormation the discrepancies of which he ha 1¢ever clarified UN lASS flED U Cl SS f Ell Mr Anderson then interjected and said that he tbought be coul d repl y to Ms Langford's question but that it woul d have to be broken down into ti« t frames first being in the earl y days of tbe coup lmtil about the 20th or 21st of September when we were advising peopl e to stay bome and stay off the streets and that they vould probah1y have no problems but that they c'houl d coon iunicate with us in case tbey had any trouble During this period the Consulate had been in close contact with Braniff anCI was also keeping l ists of people who had to 1eave on a priority basis or some o her probl em We were al so advising Americans to keep in contact w l th Braniff themselves The second period started about September 21 when American citizens said they wished to leave were in effect told to go to the International Police to obtain their c r it permits To expand on this latter point he explained tlle difference between a normal exit permit and the safe conduct u sucd by the Fore ign Minisb y He added that foreigners in Chile as temporary rei idents or residents had had to obtain ouch er it permits even before tbe present government came into po- er 1S Langford said she was glad we had explai ncd th is to her because she could now see what was meant and this point woul d no longer bother bar Mr Anderson went on to explain that we did not send these people to the International Police to obta in their exit permit emptyhanded but we had prepared-letters which we presefltGd to them· for the ir use in achieving that purpose Hs Langford asked if s ' e 'coul d have a copy of one of these letters and it was given to her Lancford then s id that she was teed-off because Ambassador Popper had not agreed to deliver Ur Teruggi • s letter to General Pinochet Mr Teruaq i sai d that ns i t had turned out he had had no problems in delivering the letter himself to the General 's office as Lancrford then said that the Ambassador's not being willing to prepare a letter to introduce Mr Tc ruggi to General Pinochet showed a lack of interest in the Teruggi case She rent on to relate how even though she does not ccnsider l' ayor Dal ey of Chicago friendly to her she gives people letters lo'hen asked to do so as part of her job as Alder lo'Olltail UNCLASSIFlEll UNClASSIFIED Mr Purdy then said he woul d hope that they understood that Ambassador Popper had his own very good reasons for not wishing to prepare such a l etter as be had explained in the first meeting with the Group At this point Mr Teruqqi looking at his watch said he knew we were busy and that he was taking a lot of our time Be started preparing himself to leave Mr Anderson interjected to say that he Mr Anderson wished to make sure if there was any doubt in Mr 'l'eruggi • s mind about certain points - one of these being whether or not his son was registered Mr Anderson could only repeat that we found no indication that his son had been registered but he wished to stress that this _made no difference in our efforts to attempt to locate his son after his arrest came to our knowledge • Mr Teruaqi said that be bel ieved this to be true and the registration was probably now a moot point but he felt his son bad in fact registered and we coul d not locate it because of administrative or other reason • some i-1r Anderson again repeated that the l ack of registration did not hinder our investigation and we wanted to make this cl ear rf Frank had registered and had a photo with his registration the on1y difference it wou1d hmro made possibly woul d b we been to al low a comparison of the photograph with that body later identified as being his son Mr Purdy read to Mr Teruggi portions of the telegrams that we had sent to tr2 Department reporting on the tentative identification of the body by the Chilean authorities and requesting information from Frank's passport application Be also read the Department's reply giving this information At this point Mr Teruqqi read portions of a handwritten letter from David Hathaway which said that Fred Purdy when he picked him up from the National Stadium had said he had had a harder time identifying him because he was not registered but we had been abl e to identify Tcruggi rapidly because he had registered _ __ Mr Purdy said he coul d onl y assume that Hathaway had come to this conclusion because the consulate had the pe of information on Teruggi tha1 normal ly 'WOUld have been se ed from a registration Be l rain pointed out that this information was not from a registration but from a combination of Chilean Government and United States passport record sources i Mr Terugqi said he was satisfied that his trip had been worthwhile because he had succeeded in re-opening tlJe investigation about his son's death He said General Bonill a had promised to get al l the information which be did not have at his fingertips He al so indicated he felt that General Bonilla was sincere and forthright and there woul d be no attempt to cover up any more Mr Purdy said he certainly hoped something came of this offer by General Bonilla Nr T qgi observed that soon after he had heard of his son• s death he h d made some bitter remarks to television reporters in Chicago in· which he aslced why the State Department had not jmmediatel y after the coup d'etat warned the Chilean military not to ht rm American citizens Be repeated this point several times Ils Langford popped in and said As you know they were murder- in people in the streets Hr • 1' nderson said he 'I-ms not aware that anyone was murdering people in the streets and Ms Langford said You must know they • ere doing that -' · Purdy interjected to say that murder is a rather specific l egal term that he ·was not sure applied in this case Hr Tar iqqi said that at any rate he hoped the experience of his son• s death ·woul d help to avoid such future tragedies as those of Frank and Charles Horman 1-lr Teruggi mentioned that Linda Wine a friend of Fran lc • s had visited tjle Teruggi family in Chicago and aid she had spent hour after hour at the Consulate trying to find out what had happened to Frank Be asked if ·we mew Miss Wine - lCLASSIF IEO UNCLASSIFIED J ril· Mr Anderson said he had talked to Linda Wine as part of o investigation of-the Teruggi -incident Mr Terugqi then said that Linda Wine told him that she had been present but he did not know whether in the Embassy or in the Consulate nor to which person she was speaking when the death of his son bad been confi i med She said that an American had asked her about the relations between Teruggi and 'his family which she found very strange Mr Anderson replied that he did not know specifically to what Linda Wine was referring However he had talked to her the day the death was confirmed and had asked her if Prank had communicated frequently with his family to which she had replied she did not know Mr Anderson then asked her if Frank Teruggi had ever mentioned any heal th probl ems of his family Mr Anderson then told Teruggi why he had asked her these questions He pointed out that we have b« ways of communicating with family members in the United States l by direct cable to the parents or 2 through the Department of State • lUlderson said he did not ant to have on his conscience sending a cable directly to the family if someone in t e family had a heart problem or some other illness which could cause either their death or hospitalization when such a cable were received waa the _conversation referred ·to and that he couid-now understllild why the question was asked Be guessed that Linda Wine had probably misinterpreted the question lr Terugqi accepted this i l ll d said that that probcv l y As they were getting ready to 1 ave Ur Terugqi thanked Mr Anderson for sending his son's personal effects to him and asked if there were any pictures or other items on the wall of his room Mr Anderson said that the only thing he noticed on the wall was a beginner's scale for a flute piayer which he had removed and sent along with the flute Mr Terucmi asked if there was anything else U ClASSIFIEO UNClASSlfIEO Mr Anderson responded that as xnany _young people are prone to do he had a ndirty picture• on the door Mr Anderson said he removed this but did not feel it was appropriate to send i t with the effects Mr Terugqi smiled w d said some of the workers where he worked have dirty pictures in their l ockers Be then said that it was· his understanding that Frank had pictures of some of his friends both Chil ean and Americans -- on the walls Mr Anderson said he did not see them nor had Francesca men- tioned them Mr Anderson then made a rough translation of the statement made by Francesca true name Irene Munoz Gomez fiance of David Hathaway Mr Teruggi t hen decided to reveal some information which he had not discl osed earlier He said be now has a witness whose name he did not reveal who said he personal l y had cal l ed the Consular Section of the Embassy to report the arrest of both Hathaway and Teruggi at approximately liOO on September 21 This person later identified as being a Mr Al fonso Fuenzalida -iho is one of the Directors of MANPOWER next door to the Consulate said he had talJ ed to an unidentified staff member of the Consulate Teruggi indicated that • rancesca the fiance of Hathaway hnd gone to talk to Fuenzalida because she knew him and knew he was a friend of the Hathaway family - Ac _cording to Fuenzal ida p ad tol d r that he had a friend who was a general and he would get in touch dth him to see about the case When asked by Mr Teruggi he also said he had cal led the consulate It is interesting to note that despite the fact that it was a Friday and the consulate was open Francesca did not wal k across the street to make a parson al report and was apparently a are that Fucnzalida had made such a call It is aJ ao interesting to note that she made no mention of this in her signed statement made to COnsular Officers •l r Anderson had asked her why she had not reported the arrest of Teruggi and Hathaway immecliate3 y She replied that she was not concerned because her £emily had military contacts and she thought Hathaway and Teruggi -would be al right She did not montion either the vioit or the phone cal l by Fucnzal ida at that time UNCLASSlfIEr Mr Purdy shrugged and said I can onl y tell you that we have no reference to or recollection of that phone cal l Mr Purdy explained how call s were received on the Embassy's swi tchboard and usually referred to the COnsu1ate in cases of this kind He repeated that no one at the consul ate had any ·' '' i recollect ion or record of any such cal l or £or that matter any reports alJout Frank Teruggi pri or to that of Stephen Volk on September 24 Teruggi prior to departure asked if Francesca or Hathaway h ld said anything about Frank• s books being all iiirapped up because this is the sad part he was going to leave the next day r Anderson said he did not see any wrapped-up books of this type when he visited the boy's house There were some books in his room but none of them were wrapped r Teruggi said No because t apped books -were the ones they the Chilean military stole • Be then went on to relate tha t he cou1d remember when Frank was a juni or or seni or in highschool He walked into a room and Prank was lying ac ross the bed reading a book by Lenin Be asked him what he was doing reading that and Frank replied Dad don't you think e shou1d now what other people tllink Since he cou1d not reply to that be left Mr Teruggi said apparently children of this age in the States have more freedom to read mat they want than peopl in other countries At this point Mr Teruggi again said he had taken too much of the officers' val uabl e time and thanked them for meeting with him and Ms Langford On the way out in the hal lway Mr Teruggi asked Mr Anderson if be had seen Mrs Tipton•s office tel ephone number written on the phone book in the bouse where Teruggi was living Mr 'l'eruggi Sr •o own home number was also Written there Mr lmderson said he had not seen that • Mr Teruqgi said he had cal led Mrs Tipton about it and she said he coul d have cal led al most any time about any matter Mr Tcruggi gave the impression he was satisfied why the number was there IIMClASSIFIED Mr Anderson asked if it was possible that Francesca had written the number because of conversations about a visa Mr Teruggi said he thought it was in his son• s handwriting We offered to provide them transportation to their hotel but they indicated they preferred to walk CONS E'Purdy njp dh
