MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

SUBJECT: Chilean Embassy Break In on 15 May 1972

1. On 24 May 1973 I telephoned Mr. James Robinson,
General Crime Section, Department of Justice and asked if he
had any information as to criminal prosecution of persons involved
in a break in at the Chilean Embassy in Washington, D.C. on
15 May 1972. Mr. Robinson stated he had no knowledge of this but
suggested that it would be better to check with Mr. G. Marvin Gentile,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Security, Department of State, and
the Secret Service since they had responsibilities for the Executive
Protective Service (EPS). I telephoned Mr. Gentile and he identi-
fied two State Department cables relative to the incident; one from
the embassy in Santiago to the Department, No. 2450, dated
15 May 1972, Subject: Unauthorized Entry Outlining the Protest
of the Chilean Government presented to the American Embassy,
and the State Department reply to Santiago, No. 084655, dated
15 May 1972. Mr. Gentile also identified the EPS report of
investigation and suggested that I get a copy from the Secret Service.
I then called [REDACTED] at Secret Service and he had his liaison
man deliver me a copy of the EPS report of investigation.

2. On 25 May 1973 I received a call from FBI Agent
[REDACTED] stating that he had received
a telephone call from Mr. James Robinson relative to my inquiry
about prosecution. [REDACTED] indicated that the FBI Washington
Field Office had contacted the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD)
on 24 May and reviewed the report No. 248-424 filed with the 3rd
District, MPD which states that a break in occurred at the Chilean
Embassy between 5:00 and 8:00 a.m. on 15 May 1972.
