In response to concerns at CIA headquarters that the Agency's role in the Schneider assassination could be exposed, the CIA station sends an overview of its contacts with coup plotters and the "security consideration" the CIA faces as it attempts to assure its covert operations do not become public. The station's check list of risks includes the identities of the "false flaggers" who met with coup plotters; the meetings CIA officials in Santiago held with military officers; telephone calls by Ambassador Korry; and the transfer of weapons to General Valenzuela for use in the plot against Schneider.

In its Weekly Summary, the analytical division of the CIA determines that Salvador Allende will become the president of Chile on November 3, 1970. The impact of the assassination of General Schneider has assured this outcome, the summary notes. "The assassination of Army Commander in Chief Schneider has practically ended the possibility of any military action against Allende. It apparently has unified the armed forces behind acceptance and support of him as constitutional president in a way that few other developments could have done." Indeed, the assessment notes that public and political reaction to the assassination has served to strengthen Chilean support for Allende and his program.
