Book IV: Supplementary Detailed Staff Reports on Foreign and Military Intelligence

This set of staff reports on foreign and military intelligence in Book IV adds to the material presented in Book I. Much of this volume is devoted to a history of the Central Intelligence Agency. There is additional information regarding alleged assassination plots to supplement the Interim Report, including more information on the case of Chilean General Schneider. Finally, this book publishes the interrogatories for (former) President Richard Nixon and his responses (Nixon was not a witness before the Committee).
