ABSTRACT
The United States Ambassador to Chile sent an urgent and angry cable to the State Department. Ambassador Ralph Dungan was confronted with a growing outburst of anti-Americanism from Chilean newspapers and intellectuals. The anti-American attacks that agitated Dungan had no direct connection with sending US troups to Santo Domingo. Their target was a mysterious and cloudy American research program called Project Camelot. Basically, Project Camelot was used for measuring and forecasting the causes of revolutions and insurgency in underdeveloped areas of the world. It also aimed to find ways of eliminating the causes, or coping with the revolutions and insurgencies. Camelot was sponsored by the US Army on a four to six million dollar contract, spaced out over three to four years, with the Special Operations Research Organization (SORO).
