And again, as I tried to make clear to you previously, you were and still are conflating the Steven compound with the CIA compound, they are 2 two different installations, 1.2 miles apart, with separate operations and commands.
No, I am not. I am telling you that both compounds were under the authority of the Chief of Mission.:roll:
“Country teams” in embassies are made up of key figures from the State Department and other agencies who work under the direction of the ambassador and meet regularly to share information and coordinate their actions. This practice has been followed since May 29, 1961, when President John F. Kennedy wrote to all U.S. chiefs of mission saying, “You are in charge of the entire United States Diplomatic Mission and I shall expect you to supervise all of its operations. The Mission includes not only the personnel of the Department of State and the Foreign Service, but also the representatives of all other United States agencies which have programs or activities in [your country].”:hm
