Four-year Terms for the House of Representatives (Research Paper 4 2000-01) Elections could be called in the first three years of a term only if the government lost control of the lower house, so that while a Prime Minister could not procure an election in under three years, nor could the Senate force an election in the first three years of a government's term. The existence of half-Senate elections are said to be a reminder that the Senate was intended to be (at least in part) a house of review, 'which acts as a brake on hasty and ill conceived legislation'. There had already been legislative provision for the 1995 election to be held on a specific day (25 March), and the provision was made permanent as a consequence of a referendum held in conjunction with the 1995 State election. www.aph.gov.au /library/pubs/rp/2000-01/01RP04.htm

Two Oaths of Richard Helms 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. Does the public have a right to know what the CIA's role was in the 1970 Chilean election? 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. www.ksg.harvard.edu /case/caseweb/catalog/abstracts/TwoOathsofRicha.html   (325 words)

(DV) Blum: Some Thoughts on That Election Thing A week after the election, veteran Democratic political and policy operatives began an advocacy group aimed at "using moderate Senate Democrats as the front line in a campaign to give the party a more centrist profile", as the Washington Post (November 11) put it. The council's new anti-terrorism resolution, he declared, "states quite clearly that the intentional targeting of civilians for death or serious bodily injury are criminal and never justifiable. Two people of the same sex who love each other and wish to get married is a greater crime in their, and god's, eyes, than the sadistic torture of Iraqi prisoners. www.dissidentvoice.org /Nov2004/Blum1122.htm   (2664 words)

Studies in Intelligence Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee just after leaving the Agency, he denied that the CIA had tried to influence the outcome of the Chilean presidential election in 1970. After he was forced out in 1973— he believed that Nixon was mad at him for refusing to use the CIA in the Watergate cover up—Helms spent several years coping with controversies ensuing in part from some of his acts of omission and commission while at the Agency. Helms said that although some aspects of the first operation “went too far,” he believed that refusing that presidential order was pointless; he would have been fired and the assignment given to someone else to carry out, perhaps with unhealthy zeal. www.cia.gov /csi/studies/vol46no4/article06.html   (4919 words)

Henry Kissinger, US Involved in 1970 Chilean Plot - Global Policy Forum - International Justice Henry Kissinger and the United States were more deeply involved than was previously thought in a 1970 plot to prevent a left-wing politician from becoming the president of Chile, CBS television news reported Sunday. The 1975 Senate investigation had already determined Nixon had wanted to incite a military takeover, but Kissinger's testimony indicated the United States had stopped any such attempt before Schneider's slaying. Kornbluh told the program: "The very next day, the CIA sent a cable to the station in the Chilean capital of Santiago, based on its conversation with Kissinger, which is referred to in the very first line. www.globalpolicy.org /intljustice/general/2001/0909cbskiss.htm   (758 words)

Christopher Reilly: Kissinger, Chile and Justice at Last? All that was required for him to assume the presidency was a vote of the Chilean Congress, meeting on October 24, 1970 to rule on the election. Later that day, General Schneider, Commander-in-Chief of the Chilean Army, was assassinated with the same weapons the CIA supplied, according to the CIA's own admission to the United States Senate, published in April of 1975. This money was used, as the U.S. Senate reported, in a "scare campaign" utilizing "disinformation" and "black propaganda" materials in order to drive the Chilean voters away from Allende. www.counterpunch.org /reillychile.html   (2068 words)
