- Washington, D.C. – These documents, including an
instructional guide on assassination found among the training files
of the CIA's covert "Operation PBSUCCESS," were among several
hundred records released by the Agency on May 23, 1997 on its
involvement in the infamous 1954 coup in Guatemala. After years of
answering Freedom of Information Act requests with its standard "we
can neither confirm nor deny that such records exist," the CIA has
finally declassified some 1400 pages of over 100,000 estimated to
be in its secret archives on the Guatemalan destabilization
program. (The Agency's press release stated that more records would
be released before the end of the year.) An excerpt from the
assassination manual appears on the Op-Ed page of The New York
Times on Saturday, May 31, 1997.
