7. Lesson 11- The Midnight Visitor II. FBI and CIA FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) On July 26 in the year 1908, during the Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, Attorney General Charles Bonaparte ordered 9 newly hired detectives, 13 civil rights investigators, and 12 accountants to take on investigative assignments in areas such as antitrust, peonage, and land fraud. Ninety-six years later, that small group of 34 investigators has grown into a cadre of over 28,000 employees. The FBI also participated in intelligence collection. Its highly skilled and inventive staff cooperated with engineers, scientists, and cryptographers in other agencies to enable the United States to penetrate and sometimes control the flow of information from the belligerents in the Western Hemisphere.

8. Lesson 11- The Midnight Visitor II. FBI and CIA FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) In 1982, following an explosion of terrorist incidents worldwide, FBI efforts were expanded in the three others: foreign counterintelligence, organized crime, and white-collar crime. The FBI solved so many espionage cases during the mid-1980s that the press dubbed 1985 "the year of the spy”. Two events occurred in late 1992 and early 1993 that were to have a major impact on FBI policies and operations. In August 1992, the FBI responded to the shooting death of Deputy U.S. Marshal William Degan, who was killed at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, while participating in a surveillance of federal fugitive Randall Weaver. In the course of the standoff, Weaver's wife was accidentally shot and killed by an FBI sniper. To be continued on the next page.

9. Lesson 11- The Midnight Visitor II. FBI and CIA FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) Eight months later, at a remote compound outside Waco, Texas, FBI Agents sought to end a 51-day standoff with members of a heavily armed religious sect who had killed four officers of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Instead, as Agents watched in horror, the compound burned to the ground from fires lit by members of the sect. Eighty persons, including children, died in the blaze. These two events set the stage for public and congressional inquiries into the FBI's ability to respond to crisis situations. In the new millennium, the FBI stands dedicated to its values and standards ensuring that the FBI effectively carries out its mission. To be continued on the next page.

10. Lesson 11- The Midnight Visitor II. FBI and CIA CIA (Central Intelligence Administration) The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was created in 1947 with the signing of the National Security Act by U.S. President Truman. The CIA was to coordinate the nation’s intelligence activities and correlate, evaluate and disseminate intelligence that affects national security. The CIA is an independent agency, responsible to the President, providing national security intelligence to senior U.S. policymakers. The Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) serves as the principal adviser to the President and the National Security Council (NSC) on all matters of foreign intelligence related to national security.

11. Lesson 11- The Midnight Visitor II. FBI and CIA CIA (Central Intelligence Administration) The United States has carried out intelligence activities since the days of George Washington, but only since World War II have they been coordinated on a government-wide basis. President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed New York lawyer and war hero, William J. Donovan, to become first the coordinator of information, then, after the US entered World War II become head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in 1942. The OSS—the forerunner to the CIA—had a mandate to collect and analyze strategic information. After World War II, however, the OSS was abolished along with many other war agencies and its functions transferred to the State and War Departments. To be continued on the next page.

12. Lesson 11- The Midnight Visitor II. FBI and CIA CIA (Central Intelligence Administration) It did not take long before President Truman recognized the need for a postwar, centralized intelligence organization. Truman reviewed several plans and soon created a small office Central Intelligence Group (CIG) to screen and evaluate the large amount of information and reports flowing into the White House. The Truman administration later decided this new office didn’t meet all their needs plus it was never fully accepted by the military or the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). President Truman also feared another Pearl Harbor and that the Russians would attack the US. To make a fully functional intelligence office, Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947 establishing the CIA. The end of FBI and CIA.

13. Lesson 11- The Midnight Visitor III. A Spy Movie: The Bourne Identity The Bourne Identity (2002. 6. 14) Based very loosely on Robert Ludlum's novel, The Bourne Identity is an espionage thriller. On a stormy night, a bullet-riddled man (Matt Damon) is pulled out of the sea by the crew of a fishing boat. He has no past, for his memory is blank. He may have no future. The man is taken by the fishermen to a doctor in a nearby island. With the help of the doctor he finds some clues. A frame of microfilm was surgically implanted beneath the flesh of his hip. There is evidence that plastic surgery has altered his face. He knows a lot about firearms. Strange things that he says in his delirium—maybe code words. His initial: "J.B.”– Jason Bourn.

14. Lesson 11- The Midnight Visitor III. A Spy Movie: The Bourne Identity Jason wants to recover from amnesia. He takes Marie Helena Kreutz (Franka Potente) as a hostage, who later turns to be the only one who can help him. It's not quite realistic, but there is no denying the chemistry that exists between the characters of Jason and Marie. Jason finds himself speak several foreign languages. The truth is that Jason Bourne is a U.S. government trained assassin, botched a job, got shot in back in the process, and now has amnesia. The CIA only knows that he failed to make an assigned kill and now wants him dead. He was the perfect weapon until he became the target. To be continued on the next page.

15. Did you notice? Lesson 11- The Midnight Visitor III. A Spy Movie: The Bourne Identity Enjoy the movie after class. There's a similarity between the leading characters in Hollywood spy movies. They are usually male, headstrong (and ultimately always the good guy), determined and they fall for a beautiful lady that complements the guy in some way. Besides elements mentioned above, like many espionage thrillers, which are exciting with lots of plot twists, The Bourne Identity has narrow escapes and enough implausible fistfights and killings to keep any plot spinning. The end of A Spy Movie: The Bourne Identity.
