<sod>The work done by the PBHistory team also served to perpetuate two existing [[CIA operations]], [[Operation Kufire]] and [[Operation Kugown]], both of which had been a part of Operation PBSUCCESS. Kufire was a wide-ranging operations to track communists from various countries across Latin America who had come to Guatemala during the presidency of Jacobo Arbenz.{{sfn|Holland|2004|pp=308-309}} The CIA expected that these individuals would return to their home countries, or to other countries that had liberal policies about political asylum, and by tracking them, the CIA hoped to disrupt their activities.{{sfn|Holland|2004|pp=308-309}} During the course of this operation, a CIA analyst asked Atlee Philips whether to open a file on a 25-year old physician, who did not at the time appear to be particularly threatening. Atlee Philips said yes, thereby opening a file on [[Che Guevara|Ernesto "Che" Guevara]], which would quickly become one of the thickest files the CIA had on a single individual.{{sfn|Holland|2004|p=309}} However, few other documents resulted in files that were of enduring value to the CIA.{{sfn|Holland|2004|p=309}}<eod>
