Popper, David H.

Popper, David H.
   United States Ambassador to Chile during the regime of Augusto Pinochet Ugarte. Although the administration of President Richard Nixon was generally supportive of Pinochet Ugarte and communicated this policy to its embassy in Santiago, Popper is remembered for publicly denouncing the Chilean government’s treatment of its citizens. His remarks earned him a written rebuke from Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who advised him to stop the “political science lectures.” The Chilean government responded to the “lectures,” not by easing repression, but by initiating a propaganda campaign.
