into immediate contact with Mora Bowen, Colonel Naranjo (4), who wasMinister of Defense, the General Gándara, member of the Board. Deanworked intensively with three senior government officials for the Suppressionof the left and also to set up a whole new set of CIA operations, usingthe security services of Ecuador. And I remember well a program that wasquickly put to march installation of new control system telephones, whoselistening post would be at the Military School of Quito.JG. That is very important, but General Mora Bowen made a statementin which he denies the accusation you make regarding his participationas a close collaborator for the CIA.PA. I’m not surprised some or others deny it, because it is not favorablethey are discovered as collaborators or agents of the CIA, but it istrue that he worked with Dean, and I guess he makes his denial to savehis position within Ecuadorian military.JG. I want to inquire about a current matter. In this hour of the “energycrisis” when the OPEC and oil nationalization processes occur in differentcountries, don’t you think that the CIA is deploying special effortsto control the situation convening with the oil monopolies?PA. The CIA has actually served to support the oil companies. I rememberwell my first job at the CIA in the summer of 1960. I was responsible, amongother things, to make check lists sent weekly from the CIA station in the USEmbassy in Caracas, with the names of Venezuelans who were interested inworking with the CREOLE, the local subsidiary of Standard Oil of New Jersey.Then I sent them back any data on political background of those people, sono jobs were given to those with a history of leftist militancy.JG. Changing the subject: Does the CIA increase tensions and conflictsbetween countries where the United States has special interests?30
