Philip Burnett Franklin Agee (1935–2008) was a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) case
officer and writer, best known as the author of Inside the Company: CIA Diary (1975), which identifed about 250 CIA officers, front companies and foreign agents
then or previously working for the United States. Agee joined the CIA in 1957, and
over the following decade had postings in Washington, D.C., Ecuador, Uruguay, and
Mexico. After resigning from the Agency in 1968, he became a leading opponent of CIA
practices. Exiled from the U.S., and expelled from Great Britain, he died in Cuba
in January 2008. The collection contains: biographical materials, correspondence,
datebooks, documents obtained under the FOIA Act, notably CIA documents, as well as
FBI and State Department documents; legal materials from various cases in which Agee
was the plaintiff; lectures and university teaching files; subject files, many relating
to Latin American and other countries and to CIA activity in them, and some relating
to his expulsion from Great Britain; published and unpublished writings by Agee; reviews
