Description
Senator Frank Church led the Senate committee that pried open the secrets of United States intelligence in 1975. Its interim report on alleged assassination plots examined claims that the CIA had plotted to kill foreign leaders, among them Fidel Castro of Cuba and Patrice Lumumba of the Congo.
Rafael Trujillo and Ngo Dinh Diem also figure in the charges and evidence. The committee traced orders, memos, and denials through layers of official fog. Its findings shocked the country and led in time to a standing ban on political assassination by United States agents. Modern oversight of the spy agencies starts here.
