STATUS NEVER CLOSED
SUMMARY
The CIA's domestic turn: files on 300,000 Americans who thought they were just protesting.
FULL DOSSIER
Operation CHAOS (1967-74), documented by the Church Committee and the CIA's own Family Jewels: the agency's domestic surveillance of the antiwar and Black-liberation movements — 300,000 names indexed, 7,200 citizen files, mail intercepts — in direct violation of its charter. Terminated after exposure. It is the confirmed CIA counterpart to the FBI's COINTELPRO, and the citation that converts 'the agencies watched dissent' from theory to finding. Links COINTELPRO and the sixties-management file.
