'Intelligence - 2L Hours Per Day," "The Fifth Column," "The Corps of Peace-
Lovers," "USIA - Serpents Den," "Diverse Forms - One Goal," and "Facts and

work in the complex. Information from thousands of coworkers, scattered
through the world -- from reports of legation employees to microfilms from
secret agents entrusted with special missions -- arrive there daily.
"The real goals and methods of this unique espionage concern, created
in 1947, have always been diligently concealed behind murky formulations.
According to the official principle, the CIA is exclusively concerned with
the collection of 'information affecting problems of US national security."
In reality, the sphere of activity of its coworkers is very multilateral --
from the search for strategic data to the implementation of secret operations
of a "psychological warfare' nature, ideological sabotage, and other subver-
sive activity.
"The CIA works in close cooperation with the FBI, which is concerned
with US 'internal problems.' They exchange 'qualified' coworkers and reports
of mutual interest. The CIA maintains close contact with several intelligence
services in 'estern countries.
"'We are in a position to obtain intelligence information 24 hours a day,'
said Admiral Raborn, former CIA chief. But, 'psychological warfare' is most
closely associated with espionage."
"In the US, government organs (State Department, USIA) as well as big
monopolies (Rockefeller, Ford) are concerned with the training of ideological
and political agents for European, Asian, African, and Latin American countries...
"The AFL-CIO is also concerned with the training of agents. A Sao-called
'American Institute for Development of Free Labor,' where young trade union
activists are schooled in the 'technical aspect' of trade union work, has been
oreated in the AFL-CIO.

9'Ourrently in the US, there are about 200 institutes, research centers,
and organizations associated with the intelligence and propaganda services,
which are concerned with the finding of 'weak spots' in the economies and
policies of the socialist countries and which make recommendations for the
directions which may be employed for the 'erosion of Communism.'
"According to US press information, a total of 46,179 people were
employed in the US diplomatic agencies abroad in 1964. Of these, 39,884 were
employees of the CIA, FBI, military intelligence, USIA, and Peace Corps.
"Currently, the espionage and propaganda station known as Radio Free
Europe has 30 transmitter stations. They have a combined total broadcast
time of 1,500 hours weekly. In addition to the station in Munich, there are
lK peripheral bureaus for espionage and information collection, such as Rome,
West Berlin, and Vienna. About-.1'0200 people, including 200 Americans, work
for Radio Free Europe....
"One of the instruments for expanding the ideological and political
influence of the US in the countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America
and a key factor f the official propaganda of the US abroad is the so -called
'Peace Corps,' created in 1961.
"The 'Peace Corps' reflects the efforts of US imperialist citcles to
find new ways and means of struggle against the national liberation movement
and the aspiration of liberated peoples for complete national independence,
for a noncapitalist way of development.
"Its basic mission is to create, in the various states, a broad network
of its own agents, who are to implement a more active and purposeful propaganda
