Summary
In the 1970s, the Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations
With Respect to Intelligence Activities (aka Church Committee) investigated
CIA plots to assassinate foreign leaders, including Patrice Lumumba
of the Congo, Fidel Castro of Cuba, Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican
Republic, Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam, and General Rene Schneider
of Chile. The Church Committee also conducted a limited re-investigation
of the JFK assassination.
This CD-ROM presents the publicly available transcripts of interviews
conducted by the Committee in its assassination investigations. More
than 125 transcripts provide a unique and compelling window into a rare
moment in American history. Accompanying these transcripts are important
reports and documents, including the Committee's Interim Report on assassination
plots, the so-called Schweiker-Hart Report on the JFK assassination
and the (in-)famous 1967 CIA Inspector General's Report on CIA plots
to assassinate Fidel Castro.
