Dear CIA: Hire My Boy


I found this letter on the CREST database and thought it entertaining. It was written by Howard V. Fisher to the Director of Central Intelligence complaining that his son was not given a position with the Armed Forces Security Agency despite the qualifications that his father lays out in the letter. 

I am not familiar with the culture of the American Intelligence Community, but I cannot help but believe that having your daddy write a whining letter lobbying for you having a job can only kill your chances at employment, particularly an agency as secrecy-sensitive as the NSA precursor.
