Description: 

HOPE, OPPORTUNITY, AND THE C.I.A.'s SECRET WARS / John Stockwell. Talk by former CIA station chief John Stockwell which points to the historic opportunity for the United States to reduce defense spending following the end of the Cold War. Talk is followed by a question and answer session. - CONTENT: The cold war is over, so the United States can begin defense cutbacks. This will only happen, however, if the public pressures the Senate to make it a priority. The CIA must become a major point for reduction, for its international opperations are no longer needed at the present scale. The Church Committee report showed theat in 1975 the CIA conducted 3,000 major and 10,000 minor operations. This kind of international terrorism must come to an end. Stockwell criticises U.S. mass culture which prepares youth for war. He calls for the end of United States involvement in Nicaragua. RECORDED: 11 Oct. 1991.
