Mexico City OpErations Officer George MUNRO

GEORGE FREDERICK MUNRO
During nineteen thirty-six Munro graduated from Pomona College in California and he enlisted three years later with the United States Army. That same year he attended Stanford Law School and following his active military duty was employed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation during nineteen forty. Amid his two decades of Bureau service he was employed as the FBI’s Legal Attaché in the US Mexican and Peruvian Embassies. Following his resignation from the Department of Justice amidst nineteen sixty Munro became an operations officer gathering intelligence for the CIA’s Clandestine Service.

One notable undertaking Munro directed while assigned to Mexico City station during the nineteen sixties was the compartmentalized Project LITEMPO. The project supported Agency operational collaboration with Mexican officials to exchange sensitive intelligence. This undertaking was reportedly known only to Mexico City station officers Winston Scott, Anne Goodpasture, and David Atlee Phillips. Munro oversaw Mexican intelligence operations in the course of nineteen sixty-eight and became the CIA’s liaison agent to the FBI until his retirement two years later.
