June 10, 1975
The Commission on CIA Activities Within the United States, informally known as the Rockefeller Commission, released its report detailing a secret & criminal CIA-sponsored domestic program, CHAOS, which, beginning under Lyndon Johnson in 1967, eventually kept records on 300,000 persons and 1,000 groups and infiltrated agents and provocateurs into black, anti-war and political movements in the US. Many of the details had been previously revealed in a New York Times article by Seymour Hersh and during Representative Bella Abzug’s House Subcommittee on Government Information and Individual Rights.
