Abstract

This article discusses the dynamics of Operation Condor from the analysis of the case of US Congressman Edward Koch, chief sponsor of the parliamentary amendment of the Security Assistance Act of 1977 which rejected the transfer of three million dollars from the U.S military aid budget to Uruguay during the period in which Southern Cone dictatorships were endorsed by the CIA and the State Department to promote state terrorism. The plan to murder Koch, intercepted by US intelligence agencies, proves Condor's infiltration power into US territory during the Operation's heyday, as well as show the omission of the US executive power in the same period of the murder of Orlando Letelier.
