Episode 2969: FOOT SOLDIER IN THE CIA by James T. Williams

This Week in America with Ric Bratton

Foot Soldier In The CIA by James T. Williams

Any writing concerning espionage must necessarily center on the case officer and the operations they control. While the members of the Office of Technical Service provide the best of technical service to the directorate of operations, they are rarely afforded significant recognition. Their concern is that the technical aspect of every operation is as nearly perfect as possible. This story is an account of the way they approach their daily activities with high morale, unrivaled expertise, and the best sense of humor in all of CIA.

About The Author

I grew up in the small NC town of East Bend, near Winston-Salem. I attended EB elementary and high school.

I earned a degree in chemistry at Wake Forest College (now; University). I took a job working in a paper mill in western NC, near Asheville, but quit the mill after seven years and was out of work for almost two years looking for a more interesting career.

Finally, I got the addresses for FBI and CIA out of the governmental section of the local phone book and sent each a resume. Incredibly, I was hired by the Agency and spent 20 years as a tech in OTS.

After I retired I embarked on a 23-year second career as a docent for 3 historical properties in Old Town Alexandria. During that period, I had time to write the story of my time with the Agency.
