EARL JAMES WILLIAMSON
He was born amid nineteen hundred and fifteen, raised in the state of New York, and later attended Loyola College. Earl subsequently joined the United States Army during WWII and was a lieutenant serving in the Panama Canal Zone by nineteen forty-eight. He joined the Agency amidst nineteen fifty-two and was assigned to the US Embassy in Cuba under State Department cover during the regime of Fulgencio Batista. Williamson became CIA Deputy Chief of Station in Havana and he married the niece of a local sugar magnate. He was subsequently reassigned to serve as Deputy Chief of Station in the capital of Spain while using the cryptonym QUSWIFT-1.

Following Agency negotiations with Cuban exile leader Rolando Cubela Secades, a likely double agent, Williamson is selected to lead the CIA's Foreign Intelligence Branch. Amidst the nineteen seventies he was Chief of San Jose Station within Costa Rica but officials recalled him due to public accusations of American plots to overthrow their government. Verifiable clandestine Agency plots to remove foreign leaders were documented in the period but no definitive evidence was produced against Williamson. He left the CIA with multiple service awards during nineteen seventy-two despite the prior controversy.
