And here’s a note just to keep the record straight. In September, I interviewed Venezuela’s President, Hugo Chavez, arch-enemy of the Bush Administration. He claimed that he had documented proof that the United States planned to invade his country. The plan, he told me, is code-named Plan Balboa.
TED KOPPEL (ABC NEWS)
Can I ask you now, on camera, will you make that documentation available to me?
PRESIDENT HUGO CHAVEZ (VENEZUELA)
I can send to you -I can’t send all that documentation. I can send part of it to you. I can send it to you.
TED KOPPEL (ABC NEWS)
Please.
PRESIDENT HUGO CHAVEZ (VENEZUELA)
I can send you maps and everything. And you can show it to the United States citizens.
TED KOPPEL (ABC NEWS)
We need to report that after many requests, over more than two months now, we have received nothing from President Chavez or any of his people. I did, however, receive a letter from the former Venezuelan Ambassador to the UN, who says he’s very familiar with Plan Balboa. It was, he says, a plan prepared not by the United States, but rather it was a war game designed by the armed forces of Spain.
TED KOPPEL (ABC NEWS)
That’s our report for tonight. I’m Ted Koppel in Washington. For all of us here at ABC News, good night.
Please know that the former Venezuelan Ambassador to the United Nations who wrote the letter to Mr. Koppel is Ambassador Adolfo Taylhardat:
