As reported in the July 13, 1999 Scout Report for Social Sciences, several US Government agencies recently began to declassify documents related to events in Chile from 1973 to 1978, widely regarded as the most repressive period of General Augusto Pinochet's reign. Since then, the US State Department has made available the full text (heavily censored in some instances) of over 4,000 documents at its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Electronic Reading Room. Users will find links to agency-specific documents on Chile at the bottom of the Reading Room Home Page.
