CIA notorious in politics

The CIA is notorious for its variously channelled activities. It conducts its political activities in most countries independently of USA foreign policy, and in not a few cases directly contrary to it, with consequent embarrassment to USA official representatives.

In 1964 NZUSA was elected to the ISC Finance Committee.

Even though there were a couple of meetings of the ISC Finance Committee during 1965, the accounts were kept entirely by the ISC Financial Secretary.

Members of the Finance Committee were allowed to see the accounts only in the most general detail, and to consider such matters as levies from national student organisations.
