SUBJECT: CHILE WILL CONSIDER PROPOSAL FOR INCREASING 
TRANSPARENCY IN EXPORT LICENSING 
 
REF: SECSTATE 53805 
 
Econoff delivered ref demarche June 5 to Ana Maria Saldias, 
U.S. Desk Officer at Chile's General Directorate of 
International Economic Affairs (DIRECON) at the Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs. DIRECON is the trade-ministry equivalent in 
Chile. Saldias responded that Chile needed time to digest 
the idea of increasing transparency in export licensing 
before taking a position. DIRECON will disseminate the 
background materials to other offices as well as other 
government agencies (e.g., Customs) so that the GOC can 
consider the proposal and make an informed decision.
