The CIA also developed the Sherwood Program, a clandestine radio-broadcast campaign, to be used during the later stages of PBSuccess. The program's goal was to psychologically condition it's target audience during the pre-attack period, convince it that the anti-communists were successful during the attack, and encourage underground partisan cells to organize against the Guatemalan government. Santa Fe Island was chosen as the broadcast site, where 15 natives and 10 U.S. Weather Bureau/CAA personal resided. At least 14 recordings were made for the Sherwood Program.

Secretary Kissinger met with Foreign Secretary Romulo in New York on October 6, 1976, to discuss the treaty. Discussions focused on provisions in the treaty requiring the US to protect “the metropolitan area of the Philippines” in addition to the US bases. Romulo requested supplies from the US to strengthen the Philippines’ armed forces and said “his government was afraid of being subjected to nuclear attack.” Additional discussion regarding the timing of finalization of the treaty, the advantages if some decisions were finalized before that year’s US presidential election, and the US’s financial package to the Phillippines. Romulo instructed Ambassador Romualdez to present the proposal to President Marcos immediately upon his return to Manila on October 10, 1976.
