4. Intelligence Community's Secret Surveillance Network
Foreword: During 1975, while living in San Antonio, Texas, and working at Southwest Research Institute(SwRI), the author started encountering sporadic physical surveillance in the workplace and on business trips. In early 1976, the author was contacted by the CIA and asked to assist them in a matter involving a foreign national. (While the author was employed there over the period 1964 to 1978, SwRI performed a lot of classified work for the CIA.) Simultaneous with the CIA's initial visit to the author's home, systematic surveillance on all family members started. Today, after 35 years of persistent surveillance, surveillance is still occurring but at an intensity less than that experienced during the early years. The reprinted letter below, which was sent to Admiral Stansfield Turner, the Director of the CIA, with a copy to President Jimmy Carter, was the author's first attempt to end this illegal surveillance operation being conducted on his family.
