* The other two members were William H. Jackson, New York investment banker, a wartime intelligence officer
and the managing director of J. H. Whitney & Co.; and Mathias F. Correa, a former OSS man and a special
assistant to Forrestal. Jackson later became the deputy director of the CIA.

* Some evidence of the closeness of Foster and Allen Dulles was provided even after the Secretary of State had
died. President Kennedy had been thinking of changing the name of Washington's new jetport from Dulles, so
designated in honor of Foster, to Chantilly, which is the name of the Virginia community where it is located.
Under this plan the main building would still have been called the "Dulles Terminal." Allen Dulles and his sister,
Eleanor Lansing Dulles, a former official in the German section of the State Department, heard about it and raised
hob with the President. Kennedy called it Dulles Airport.

* And later a private adviser to the Empress of China, Tz'u Hsi.

* Welsh earned this ministerial plum in an odd way. President Hayes had assured Senator Simon Cameron of
Pennsylvania (who had been in Lincoln's Cabinet during the Civil War) that he would appoint anyone
Pennsylvania wanted to the London post. Cameron promptly named his father. Hayes, annoyed, appointed Welsh
instead.

* Fidel Castro, then an unknown Cuban student, participated in the Bogota riots with a group of his friends.

* Actually, the Chinese had begun crossing the Yalu four days earlier.

* The protest apparently had some effect. On August 2, 1955, Communist China notified the United States at
Geneva that the eleven airmen had been released on July 31.

* He died September 1, 1963, at age sixty-seven.

* Gulf Oil, Standard Oil of New Jersey and California, The Texas Company and Socony-Mobil.

* The story was sufficiently upsetting to Senator Paul H. Douglas, the Illinois Democrat, so that he quietly
investigated it later during a trip to the Middle East.

* While the CIA was plotting to get rid of Figueres during this period, Ambassador Robert F. Woodward was
urging President Eisenhower to lend his prestige to the Costa Rican President by inviting him to Washington.
Figueres stepped down in 1958 when his candidate lost the Presidential election.

* Although Dulles had hinted previously at the CIA's role, he publicly and unequivocally disclosed the CIA's tour
de force in a speech in Washington in June, 1963, and in a television interview two months later. It was a startling
statement, because it was one of the few times that the CIA had openly taken credit for an espionage feat. Dulles
said: "You remember ... Khrushchev's famous speech in 1956, which we got, the CIA got that speech, and I
thought it was one of the main coups of the time I was there ..." [16]

* By a Russian SA-2 missile, the CIA concluded.

* A few days after his Senate testimony, however, Powers seemed less certain of this. In a radio interview at his
home in Pound, Virginia, with James Clarke, then of WGH, Norfolk, he said he thought he had seventy seconds
on that particular U-2. It was an uncertainty shared by other U-2 pilots. The fact is the pilots did not know
precisely how much time they had before the explosion.
