The CIA reports that Operation Condor has begun to employ a communications system, for which each member country has been assigned a number beginning with Argentina - 1. 

This CIA report discusses a meeting of Condor member countries which took place from 13th to 16th December in Buenos Aires. The main issue on the agenda was the discussion and planning of coordinated psychological warfare operations against political opponents in various member countries.

The CIA reports that the meeting of Condor member countries in December 1976 discussed difficulties regarding the accomplishment of responsibilities. Particularly, larger countries are failing to meet the expectation of providing greater human and financial resources than smaller member countries. 

The CIA reports that the training course in Buenos Aires is underway for the special Condor Teams destined to carry out operations against high-level political opponents in Europe. The course is due to conclude by early December 1976.

This CIA document reports that Argentina and one other Condor member country (name blocked out) had undertaken a failed operation against three targets in Argentina. This incident has raised doubts among the security forces of the unnamed member country regarding the effectiveness of crossborder cooperation given that too many individuals now know about Condor. 

Request to Buenos Aires if the information contained in Retel could be passed to select Portuguese sources and other responsible US agencies.

This communication outlines the three phases of Operation Condor, according to a confidential source from the Argentine Army Intelligence Service. Notably, the document states that- as part of phase three- a special team had been organised in Argentine comprising members of the Argentine Army Intelligence Service and the State Secretariat for Information (SIDE), which was being prepared to carry out future operations in non-member countries.

The CIA reports that plans are going ahead for a training course in Buenos Aires for special Condor teams which will be deployed to conduct targeted operations against key political opponents in France, where the JCR is present.

The CIA reports that, on 1 September 1976, an 'International Desk' was created within the National Intelligence Center for investigating, identifying, and destroying Argentine 'subversives' with links to international guerrilla organisations, such as the Revolutionary Coordinating Junta (JCR).

In this document, the CIA reports on the planned Condor operations to liquidate key political opponents of the military regimes who are exiled in Europe. Special mixed teams have been established and these 'Condoreje' officers will undertake a training course in Buenos Aires prior to their deployment to Europe.
