Container Summary
1 photocopied report prepared by Robert Hopkins for the CIA detailing an information gathering trip taken by him to Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, Panama, and Mexico. The report is characterized by numerous sketches of various sights in these countries. Hopkins states in his introduction to the report that "[t]he pen-and-ink sketches helped me to observe the character and features of each country with more attention than had I simply snapped photographs and moved on. In addition, the sketches promted the local inhabitants to strike up conversations with me. Thus, I came to know and talk to an interesting cross section of people I otherwise would have had difficulty encountering."
