The documents detail: 
* That in response to Mexican government concerns over the security of the Olympic Games, the Pentagon sent military radios, weapons, ammunition and riot control training material to Mexico before and during the crisis.
* That the CIA station in Mexico City produced almost daily reports concerning developments within the university community and the Mexican government from July to October. Six days before the massacre at Tlatelolco, both Echeverría and head of Federal Security (DFS) [[Fernando Gutiérrez Barrios]] told the CIA that "the situation will be under complete control very shortly".
* That the Díaz Ordaz government "arranged" to have student leader Sócrates Campos Lemus accuse dissident [[Partido Revolucionario Institucional|PRI]] politicians such as [[Carlos A. Madrazo|Carlos Madrazo]] of funding and orchestrating the student movement.
