AMERICA'S NATIONAL SECURITY STATE : ITS GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT / Philip Agee. - Talk by former CIA agent Philip Agee in which he traces the development of the National Security States and its influence upon United States foreign and domestic policies. He begins by comparing U.S. intervention and exploitation in Latin America with that of Spain in the 15th and 16th centuries, and how his experiences in the region lead to leaving the Agency. He has returned to the U.S. after 17 years of exhile in order to expose the workings of the U.S. government. The CIA has outgrown its original function as information gatherers to become shapers of foreign policy. Agee then provides a chronology of major CIA activites since World War II which have lead to its increased influence and control of foreign affairs. - RECORDED: Socially Responsible Single meeting, Sepulveda, California, Nov. 1992.
