William Colby was the director of the CIA during that time. Following that, in 1976 George H. W. Bush was the next CIA director until 1977.

"The United States Secret Service is mandated by statute and executive order to carry out two significant missions: protection and criminal investigations. The Secret Service protects the President and Vice President, their families, heads of state, and other designated individuals; investigates threats against these protectees; protects the White House, Vice President's Residence, Foreign Missions, and other buildings within Washington, D.C.; and plans and implements security designs for designated National Special Security Events. The Secret Service also investigates violations of laws relating to counterfeiting of obligations and securities of the United States; financial crimes that include, but are not limited to, access device fraud, financial institution fraud, identity theft, computer fraud; and computer-based attacks on our nation's financial, banking, and telecommunications infrastructure."

The 1947 National Security Act established the CIA, affording it "no police or law enforcement functions, either at home or abroad". One year later, this mandate was expanded to include "sabotage, anti-sabotage, demolition and evacuation measures...subversion [and] assistance to underground resistance movements, guerrillas and refugee liberation movements, and support of indigenous anti-communist elements in threatened countries of the free world.

July 26th, 1947 is the official date the CIA was created.

President Truman signs the National Security Act of 1947, creating the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Council. The CIA is accountable to the president through the NSC -there is no democratic or congressional oversight. Its charter allows the CIA to "perform such other functions and duties as the National Security Council may from time to time direct." This loophole opens the door to covert action and dirty tricks.

The CIA and most other Law enforcement agencies all have about 90 percent paperwork. Its not all secret agent stuff and shootouts.

Yes, FBI Agents carry handcuffs.

A CIA agent, is like any other employee of the department for which they work. They have assigned offices and go to work in the morning, like everyone else. Mostly, CIA agents work in large office buildings analyzing material from around the world. Occasionally, some agents are sent into the field to observe specific situations first hand.

Central Intelligence Agency
The "I" in CIA stands for Intelligence.

From the official CIA website:

CIA employees represent a wide variety of disciplines from an even broader mix of academic backgrounds and experience. Therefore, we don't recommend one academic track over another in general.

The Agency's personnel requirements change from month to month as positions are filled and others become available. Our best advice to you is to do your very best and strive for good grades. Fluency in a foreign language is a good addition. Above all, understand that your choices and behaviors now are a reflection of your personal integrity, character and patriotism.

A CIA spy tries not to get caught while operating in the open. A "modern day ninja" whatever the f*** that is, probably does not want to be seen at all.

The CIA World Factbook is the government's almanac. If you want to know anything about any nation in the world, from its land area to the name of its leader and what drug problems it has, you can find it in the World Factbook.

The World Factbook is an unclassified publication that anyone can get. They used to sell it, but now it's available to download from the CIA's website. (If you want a printed copy, they'll still sell you one.) It's a really great book, and everyone should have it.

The Jobs at CIA can be divided into different categories. The jobs at CIA can range from analysis to geography/cartography.

Firearms are issued in the 4th to 6th week of the FBI Academy. New agents are issued either a Glock 22 or 23, depending on inventory in stock, their preference, and input from their Primary Firearms Instructor. Some trainees are issued a Glock 17 or 19, if they are experiencing issues with recoil from the .40 caliber round. All 9mm Sig Sauer's are gone, and only a few .40 cal privately owned 226's and 229's remain. Mandatory transition to the Glock will be enforced shortly. Privately owned Glock 21's, 26's and 27's, are also authorized. The Springfield Professional model, a single action .45 caliber pistol, is issued to specialty units such as SWAT and protection details.

True, the CIA found Gerald Ford had been involved in illegal activities.

It is a government agency.
