Why this record matters
“CEIM” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, CEIM and organization provides the most credible route into that argument.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5782699. VIAF identifies the subject as 135224539. The Library of Congress control number is no2004102217. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1978, 1985, 2002 and 2007.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
