The Central Intelligence Agency will be conducting an on-campus recruit-
ment drive today. There will be some of us who will apply for positions within
this organization; yet, how many of us really know what it is or what it is doing?
David Wise and Thomas /Roxx have written in The Invisible Government:
"The American people have not been in a position to assess these charges (that
it is conducting a foreign policy of its own). They know virtually nothing about
the invisible government. Its employment robs are classified. Its activities
are top-secret. Its budget is concealed in other appropriations. Congress pro-
vides money for the invisible government without knowing how much it has appro-
priated or how It will be spent. A handful of congressmen are eupposed to be
kept informed by the invisible government, but they know relatively little about
how it works.
However we do know the following:
FACTS:
1951-1952 it was revealed that the Center of International Studies at M. I. T.
was a cover for the CIA.
1953 IRAN - The CIA overthrew the reformer Mr. Ma4sadey and permitted the
reinstatement of the Shah's dictatorship.
1954 GUATEMALA The CIA engineered a coup against a popular elected govern-
ment because of its policy of land reform and installed a vicious dictatorship.
1956 INDONESIA The CIA engineered an attempt to overthrow Sukarno.
1961 CUBA The CIA sponsored a full scale invasion against Cuba without any
discussion in Congress or a declaration of war.
VIETNAM under the cover of Michigan State University the CIA created and
supported Diem - a feudal dictator - which caused an internal revolt in 1958
and has led to our deeper and deeper involvement in the present war. (All the
above are documented in the Invisible Government).
We protest first that this agency which makes vital decisions without the
consent of the people. A democracy can survive only to the extent that the people
and not hidden elites govern and rule. We protest second the actions of the CIA
in preventing social change by supporting reactionary governments in the name of
containing communism.

with superiors in the Departments of State and Defense; in major mat-

might be getting soft on Communism. Therefore they acted without even
consulting the responsible American officials.: (The rebellion failed.
Burma became very angry at this interference and for years afterward
kept its foreign policy close to Red Chinas s. The government changed
from a pro-western form of republic to a socialist dictatorship.)

Time after time the C.I.A. has created American policy, has com-

legitimate governments. It often operates in secrecy; using founda-
tions or even colleges as camouflage; its Vietnam operations were
shielded by Michigan State University until after the damage was done.
