		Registration and turnout were reasonably consistent with earlier Chilean presidential elections, although both registration and participation have been considerably higher since the restoration of elections, beginning with the election of 1989.

		The Chilean coup d'état of September 11, 1973, was a watershed event in the history of Chile and the Cold War.
		In Chile's 1970 presidential election, in accordance with the constitution, Congress resolved the 3-way split — between Salvador Allende (with 36.3% of the vote), conservative (and former president) Jorge Alessandri Rodríguez (35.8%), and the Christian Democrat Radomiro Tomic (27.9%) — by voting to approve Allende's narrow plurality.
		The majority of the Chilean population were at the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum and had grown weary of perennial problems that were affecting the country.

	New York Times Reactions to the Election of Salvador Allende
		After a right-wing group shot General René Schnieder Chereau, the Commander in Chief of the Chilean Army, the New York Times reported that the left-wing Chilean press had been accusing the CIA of plotting against Allende and of masterminding the Schneider assassination.
		The day after Schneider died the paper quoted Aniceto Rodriguez, the secretary-general of "Dr. Allende's Socialist party," as identifying, "in a vaguely worded" statement, "`the CIA as the moral author'" of the Schnieder assassination.
		This was not followed by any official U.S. denials, but an editorial printed the same day asserted that U.S. relations with Allende were already being made difficult by his "Communist allies" and their accusations of CIA complicity in the assassination.

		When he was elected as president in 1970 he became the first Marxist to gain power in a free democratic election.

		The coup-related deaths in both 1970 and 1973 and the exposure of the role of the United States in helping to topple a democratically elected government, albeit a Marxist one, brought intense scrutiny to the ethics of using covert action to change the political complexion of other countries.

	Two Oaths of Richard Helms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In 1973, former CIA director Richard Helms was called to testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as a follow-up to hearings confirming Helms' nomination as ambassador to Iran.
		However, the primary issue of these sessions became the CIA's involvement, under Helms' leadership, in the 1970 Chilean presidential election, when the US spent over $800,000 in covert operations, primarily on anti-Allende propaganda.
		The questions about Chile presented Helms with an unforeseen dilemma: by his CIA oath of secrecy Helms was forbidden to disclose information on covert operations without authorization, but his testimony before the Foreign Relations Committee was also under an oath, this one to answer questions presented to him.
