The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's Tibetan program was a covert operation consisting of political plots, propaganda distribution, as well as paramilitary support and intelligence gathering based on U.S. commitments made to the Dalai Lama in 1951 and 1956.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1964-68v30/d342 )〕 Although the operation was formally assigned to the CIA alone, it was nevertheless closely coordinated with several other U.S. government agencies such as the Department of State and the Department of Defense.〔 Previous operations had aimed to strengthen a number of isolated Tibetan resistance groups, which eventually led to the creation of a paramilitary force on the Nepalese border with approximately 2,000 men. By February 1964, the projected annual cost for all CIA Tibetan operations had exceeded US$1.7 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1964-68v30/d337 )〕 The program was gradually discontinued in the late 1960s, and finally ended with President Nixon's visit to China in 1972.〔 == Overview == In the fields of political action and propaganda, the CIA's Tibetan program was aimed at lessening the influence and capabilities of the Chinese regime.〔 The approval and subsequent endorsement of the program was carried out by the 303 Committee of the United States National Security Council.
