Anti-CIA Club of Diplomats. Spooks in U.S. Foreign Service. 1983. 12 pages.

This list was published in Canada in 1983. ACCD is likely an ad-hoc cover for what appears to be a risky inside job. From the introduction:

"To what degree has the Foreign Service been penetrated by career intelligence officers? To a very considerable degree. Roughly three out of five supposedly State Department employees working abroad are in fact CIA officers. The number of young university and college graduates recruited by the CIA is steadily rising and now stands at more than 800 annually. In the last ten years, 7500 such graduates have been recruited and trained as intelligence officers at educational institutions like the CIA Camp Peary Training Center, the Foreign Service Institute, and the National Intelligence Academy. The number is almost half of the entire CIA personnel working at Langley and at its stations abroad."

These 190 names include the person's diplomatic title, the country where the person is posted (presumably as of about 1983), and the year when that posting began. The year of birth is included for most names; 90 percent were born in the early 1950s. Additional citations can be found in NameBase for only 44 of the names. The list may have been compiled by someone with access to internal alumni-like information, since this is not the sort of profile that would result from using unclassified sources.
