fully and fully assimilate all the data contained in it, so as to give way tothe reading of the dialogue I present here.Phillip Agee InterviewFHA: First of all, thank you very much for welcoming me and allowingthis interviewPA: I am very pleased.Let’s begin with your decision, plus the decision of the CIA, of transferringyou to Ecuador at your first mission. Why is Ecuador in the CIA’splans?Well, each Latin-American country was and always has been in theplans of the CIA. CIA is an organization that gathers information aboutpossible threats to US interests, therefore CIA is everywhere. In LatinAmerica, at each embassy, there is a CIA office called “Station”, witha head and a deputy head and several officers working as I worked inEcuador; so these are programs that date form the 40’s, actually. Whathappened in Latin America, when CIA was founded in 1947, was that lotsof FBI Officials, who had controlled the situation in Latin America duringWorld War II, were transferred to CIA to continue their work at LatinAmerica. CIA’s Latin American operational division was widely known bythe number of FBI ex-officers who had moved to CIA when it was founded,because the CIA took control over US intelligence in Latin America.So these programs, where I and other collaborators were conducted,were programs that have their origin many years ago, in the 40’s and 50’s,so I guess that everything suggests that continue until now.74
