Exhibit 927 ยท Congressional report
Alleged Assassination Plots Involving Foreign Leaders: An Interim Report of the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, S. Rep. No. 94-465
However, the record is unclear and serious doubt remains concerning whether assassination was authorized by the respective Presidents.
The Committee's findings on CIA plots against Castro, Lumumba, Trujillo, Diem, Schneider and others. It reports that the working papers of the CIA's 1967 internal study of the plots were destroyed on Director Helms's instructions, and that the evidence leaves unclear whether Presidents authorized assassination. It finds that the system of plausible denial left the level of authorization uncertain.
