Intriguing about the CIA's e

budget and picking out items
that I think might be used to
mask a few bucks for the
CIA. For instance, there is the
Abaca fiber program,
According to the budget
for fiscal 1064, this program
is taking nothing out of the
treasury and is putting $90,
000 back in. That certainly
looks suspicious. In fact, it's
downright unbureaucratic.
My hunch is that there's
really no such thing as
Abaca fiber and that the
money actually is going to
the CIA.
On page 822 of the budget,
$408,000 is earmarked for
payment of annuities to the
widows of lighthouse keepers.
That also looks fishy.
Are there really that many
widows of lighthouse keepers
still around. Or are some of
the CIA agents in disguise.
A $680,000 item for the
U. S. Naval academy's laun
dry service likewise would be
a logical place to conceal
CIA appropriation. You can
conceal almost anything in
Navy laundry bag.
Other budgetary items that
caught my eye ostensibly cov
crcd such activities as "brush
disposal" and the prcscrva
tion of ancient Nubian monu
ments.
Offhand, $0 million seems
like an awful lot of money
for the government to be
spending to get rid of brushes,
And, an ancient Nubian mon
ument sounds to me like a
perfect hangout for spies.
