If anyone was responsible for the death of Mr. Welch, it's the CIA that sent him there to spy, perhaps intervene in the affairs of Greece, Albania and Yugoslavia. We want to put a stop to the intervention in the affairs of foreign countries and in to domestic spying. And the naming of names is one way for us to trap the strength of the CIA, to find out about those activities."
