Declassified documents revealed the CIA ran a covert operation in Tibet from 1957 to 1969, funding the Tibetan resistance against Chinese rule at $1.7 million per year. The Dalai Lama personally received $180,000 annually. Tibetan guerrillas were secretly trained at Camp Hale in Colorado in weapons, communications, and guerrilla warfare. The program was terminated when Nixon sought rapprochement with China.
