CIA HISTORICAL REVIEW PROGRAM RELEASE AS SANITIZED

CALLIGERIS Manifesto and "Philosophy ofuetzal*
The Subject should have been written by CALLIGERIS, ue otlier aeaber of the STHCAR? group, ao thst the Subject would contain material intimately Guator.alan, readily reccgnized as Guatemalan, appealinc to other Guatemalans. The undersigned's basic criticism of the Subject ieuatemalan Manifesto and Philosophy should have been prepared first, submitted to LINCOLN and Headquarters for comments, and thun returned to SYHCARP for its re-writing and execution.
If we are toesponsibility, not rightly ours, tho Subject has failed to meed tho challenge for the following reasons:
A. The Subject does not indicate, in any way, the purpose or the tarpet, nor does itpecific, factual indictment of the present ropine.
B. Tiie "philosopliy" will tend to spread, notate-the-rlch program, but drive further wedges betweon the Indians and the Ladinos.
C. The Subject is dripping with inslncority, unbelievable pronises, and if the promisee aade in thowere fulfilled, they vould leadtate of anarchy, internecine strife,eturn to "indianisiu*'.
emagogic paper but there is no demagog.
sraCARP group has, through stickers, stamps,radio and word-of-mouth, usedthe symbols: God, CountryThe proposed symbols of Cross and Quetzal wjuld bein aid-stream*. "Cross and Quetzal" are les directthan God, for which the Cross actually stands, and Country, foQuetzal actually stands. In addition, with ths current wavereform and social revolution in Guatemala, the necessity to in-
a word such as "Liberty" in essential. "Cross and Quetzal"
ymbol smacks more of tho Medieval than ofh Century.
