one of the more remarkable women who served with oss was virginia hall. she was a baltimore native who joined the state department and served as a clerk in the 1930s with various postings in warsaw, venice and turkey. while she was in turkey, she had a hunting accident, and while she was scrambling over a -- gangrene eventually set in and the doctor was forced to take her leg below the knees, so she had a wooden leg. she had been with the state for five years, but was eager to join the -- could not post officers abroad that were missing major limbs, so in frustration she resigned and decided to travel in europe anyway and got caught in -- she stayed, she drove an answer for a while, and then british special operations executive, the same organization that major fairbarn worked for, recruited her to be -- allied pilots who had been shot down passed through her hands to safety, eventually she was betrayed by one of her own agents and she had to escape. the gestapo put a warrant out for her arrest describing her as one of the most dangerous allied agents at

with the collapse of the oss, the cia face a long time to get going.types of intelligence gets left behind. you do not have the office of scientific intelligence, which is the office created to do foreign intelligence towards the atomic program. this was the beginning of 1949. that is where the program is created. it takes some time to get their act together. by the time the russians had the bomb, you could see what they are putting out. the second problem is that there is no real impetus to have a strong scientific intelligence program for the soviets. most americans think they are a bunch of idiots. most americans are looking at the soviets from the perspective that the scientists are stupid, that their industry is so backward that there is no way they could produce these kind of weapons. years toill take them refine enough uranium. the fact the soviet system itself is not designed for innovative science or technology. top u.s.of bush, the scientists during the second world war, wrote a book in 1940 nine talking about how the free world will always h

(narrar) kan bahlam built three major temples-- the temple of the oss, the temple of the sun, and the temple of the foliated cross-- dedicated in 692 to palenque's patron deities. the palace was expanded further during the reign of kan bahlam's younger brother, k'an hoy chitam in the first years of the eighth century. he added new wings and a public facade facing the vast plain that stretches toward the gulf of mexico. the innovative engineering featured curving ogival arches that reduced the weight of the roof. clay figurines from other ancient maya sites give a sense of the king's retinue that once populated the palace. priests and nobles, singers and entertainers, even messengers and servants. dwarves and hunchbacks were thought to herald special powers of benefit to the ruler. paintings on vases and cups portray the king gazing at himself in a mirror held by a dwarf. mirrors were thought to have magicaprop and were used to divine the future. those vases, and the painted cups used to serve a chili-laden chocolate drink enjoyed by the maya elite, offer glimpses of life at the maya c

leland harrison during world war ii served for the oss in britain. he was a real senior diplomat. the bureau of secret intelligence did a lot of domestic work. in 1916, ever since salty over topping of the telegraph lines led by joseph nye. you would give a daily report to the secretary on what they would learn. one particular in january 1917, nye was able to tell the secretary that the german ambassador was about to tell him later in the day that germany had declared unrestricted submarine warfare out in the atlantic, which is what was one of the big things that brought the u.s. into the war. secretary lansing was so impressed with what nye was doing that he made them as special assistant to the secretary and making him the first security officer for the state department. harrison brought nye into the bureau of secret intelligence and gave him the title of chief special agent. he started recruiting other special agents from the postal service. at least one of these were sent overseas to cairo to report on the military in political situations there. in fact, the bsi came out of st

presentation will be devoted to putting a fresh evidentiary base in place, a base that spans from the oss and inld war ii to the c.i.a. the late 1960's. i when to do that by unmasking a few of the c.i.a. operatives who were behind multiple identities, that bear heavily upon the kennedy assassination case. i'll have something more to say kent, expand on what you've heard so far this morning. great presentation, by the way. fantastic. i'll be dealing principally with david philip and someone who is probably known to most of you as tony -- of these two, only phillips is a true name from birth. actually, the middle birth name of the person using the name tony was antonio. let me pose this question. 's multiple c.i.a. identities important to this case? the answer is related to something that was said to me. "under many c.i.a. operations, there is another operation in play." i refer to these as dark operations. scott gave us the term "deep politics." webb give us the term "dark alliance." i will use the term "dark operations" or dark matter. pseudonyms.ses more portly, they are used internally

there is anybody in the ington who decries overt partisanship and inability to get anything done do oss party lines and to away with gridlock, there's a human being up there who willingness to and get stuff done, it is the senior sen. from arkansas mark pryor. we need more mark pryor and less of that other stuff. i did not know if that is a dog behind me or what is. whatever sounds like a he democrat. president says he is a yellow dog. i have known it mark ross and the senate him in and he did precisely in the did in s what mark prior the senate. he wants to know move the country forward, rather than focus on differences which so that nothing happens. if you want somebody who can take a divided of democrats and republicans, and put arkansas first and make arkansas move forward, mike ross is the man. ross is going to the next for that very reason. he works with all kinds of people. not going to to presume that every human being in this is registered to vote. i'm going to assume that most registered to vote but, i don't want to embarrass a ybody not going to ask for show of hands, this is

just try to remember how much you oss state. if you compare with your gnp. in paris 97%. and all the european countries are in a much worse position on this issue because we have run the economic development with very conservative policies and budget outlays to promote stability of the economy. when difficult challenges, and, we to be better prepared than a number of other countries. having said so, i also need to say that we are not satisfied with the level of our economic development is secondary. one of the biggest difficulties that we are still haunted with his being so rich in oil and gas it is something that provides significant component of our gnp. but at the same time, it leaves less of an incentive for people to develop other industries something that is important to us. so we have embarked on a program to diversify the economy and to build an economy that would be less dependent on oil and gas and more using excellent technological abilities that we enjoy. in the technological capabilities of russia are very significant. what is still missing largely is the abi
