THE CIA AGAINST LATIN AMERICAthe events and I find it difficult to evaluate the possibility or probability thata foreign hand was related to these coups or instability. Frankly I wouldhave liked to follow the situation closely, but the time simply has gone.And the interview ended. Agee felt uncomfortable or perhaps affectedby his illness, and we did not continue further.I turned off the camera and the recorder and felt somewhat calmer ofhaving succeed. Agee offered me a tasty Cuban coffee. Was home aloneso I figured he had prepared it himself. But, he continued his secretivebehavior, until the end.I extended him his two books, “The Journal of the CIA” edition ofthe Second Independence Movement, by Jaime Galarza Zabala, whohad published and interviewed him in 1975, of which he was pleasantlyreminded, and asked me if the writer was still alive, I said yes and he entrustedme his greetings and acknowledgments for it. When I presentedhim his book “On the run” he looked at the text and said, “So you knowhow I’ve been chased...”.He then tells me about his interest on his book being reproduced ina Spanish edition, or at least in that part of Ecuador, for the Country toknow it, I express my willingness to digitize the edition and hang it on theportal and asked if he would allow me to do it.In my traveling suitcase I always carry Ecuadorian music discs to handout as gifts, I extend him two CD’s with national instrumental beats andfor the first time in the match Agee smiled. He liked the gift and askedme if I had “the Quito’s chulla” the song he liked and tells me that sometimehe called his first son like that, Phillip, because he was born in Quito.That was all. In January 2008 Phillip Agee died. Mine turned out to bethe last interview he gave to a journalist.105
