...American CIA and discuss "problems of economic development"? for an Eastern European specialist in the Department of State and the chief of the Soviet Bureau in the West German Foreign Ministry, to meet and discuss "the emerging structure of Europe"? can all this have meant that the CFIA, by bringing these men together in Cambridge, was sponsoring disinterested academic research? Or was it really consolidating Cold War strategy on a cross-government scale...
...Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) defense system might have been developed years ago "except that something got into Secretary McNamara." That something, he said, was that CFIA associates had made contact with several key people working under...

And we attack the CFIA because we believe that no force, no matter whether it wears a uniform or not, has a right to tamper with the process of social liberation that revolutionary change opens up to the people of the old colonial empires. And of course we have learned from Vietnam what the next step is if peaceful counter-revolutionary attempts fail...
