BILL HISTORY

For the past 2Y2 years, Community in Action has conducted educational campaigns
around the issue of CIA activities. An integral part of these campaigns has been to
bring highly placed, former CIA officials to speak on campus. This has also served
as a counterpoint to the CIA official who is allowed to address a plenary session at
the World Affairs Conference. On November 9th, we have the opportunity to bring
Philip Agee to the campus. Mr. Agee is a 12 year veteran of the CIA. His
principal stations were in Ecuador, Uruguay, Mexico and Washington. He was the
first major figure to publicly expose CIA wrongdoings abroad. His position is one
of belief in the need for an effective intelligence service "to prevent war. But
that's a far cry from using info to undermine an elected government."
This year is the first time in 16 years that he has been allowed to travel in the U.S.
Mr. Agee's work, both in the CIA and out, has made him a formidable expert on the
political systems he has operated within as well as CIA covert operation
methodology. Hearing Mr. Agee speak is an unprecedented opportunity to get an
intimate glimpse of the inner working of the CIA.
He continues to publish books on the need for a responsible intelligence service and
is a key figure in the debate over U.S. covert policies abroad. His appearance is
expecially timely and appropriate in view of the recent Iran-Contra hearings. His
knowledge and experience provide a rare educational opportunity.
BILL SUMMARY

This bill shall allocate an amount not to exceed $1,900 from Central Reserve in
order to fund the honorarium and advertising expenses for Philip Agee's appearance
on the Boulder campus November 9, 1987.
