Look Magazine published an article on the
Central Intelligence Agency in 1964. A copy was sent to Harry S. Truman. The former
President responded with a letter.
In the letter, to editor William B. Arthur, Harry Truman states that "The CIA was set up by me for the sole purpose of getting all the available information to the President. It was not intended to operate as an international agency involved in strange activities."
