Title: Letelier v. Republic of Chile briefs, ca. 1980-1991 1990-1991.

The bulk of the materials of four bound volumes of briefs filed by the governments of the United States and the Republic of Chile before an international commission in an action brought by the survivors of Orlando Letelier, a former Chilean diplomat and opponent of the dictatorship of General Augosto Piochet, who was assasinated by a car bomb in Washington D.C. on Sept. 21, 1976, together with Mrs. Ronni Moffitt. An investigation concluded that Chilean secret police were responsible for the assassination. The commission, established under a bilateral treaty, determined the amount of a settlement due to the complaints, including their personal information about the claimants, including their personal affidavits and psychiatric reports. Also included are photocopies of U.S. court decisions handed down prior to the formation of the international commission, and digests of the commission's final award.
