The Agency for International Development has been cited by Ohio governor and AID director John Gilligan as being filled with CIA agents "from top to bottom"the idea was to plant operatives in every kind of activity we had overseas, government, volunteer, religious, every kind.": George Cotter, "Spies, Strings, and Missionaries", The Christian Century (Chicago), March 25, 1981, p. 321, cited in William Blum, Killing Hope, (2003), p. 235.

When Hyde made his end-of-tour report from Lima, Peru in 1967, his report went to the State Department and the CIA: James Douglass, JFK and the Unspeakable, p. 170; William A. Hyde, "End of Tour Report", 8/8/67, located by researcher Steve Jones in the AID Library, Washington, DC.

The CIA admitted on 12/3/63 that IO (Meyer's division) was considering using William Hyde for covert use in 1957; however, it claims that he didn't "receive a security clearance": 4/8/64 memo by Elizabeth Mendoza, Re: LHO Address Book (FBI Report 12/31/63) Oswald 201 File (201-289248)/NARA Record Number: 104-10300-10025. http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?docId=54660&relPageId=5

Hyde's security file number was OSC-157435: http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?mode=searchResult&absPageId=1208690

A good background article on Hyde was written by Barbara LaMonica, "William Avery Hyde", Fourth Decade, Volume 5, Issue 1, November 1997, p. 8.

The Agency had wanted to use Hyde in Vietnam, according to information provided earlier by CI/SIG: 12/5/63 memo by Chief, Research Branch/OS/SRS to Files, re William Avery Hyde, HSCA Segregated CIA Collection, Box 48/NARA Record Number: 104-10133-10435.

The FBI reported: "On December 4, 1963, CIA made available information to the Bureau Liaison that in 1957 CIA considered using this individual to operate a cooperative educational center in Vietnam but he was not used by the CIA. Investigation by CIA at that time concerning William Avery Hyde was favorable.": William Avery Hyde was a Stanford friend of Taylor Bielefeldt. The Hyde family and Bielefeldt were the subject of a security investigation in the 1920s and 1930s. In the days immediately after the assassination, Bielefeldt is referenced in handwritten notes as someone who is putting the Soviet accounts of the assassination together. http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?docId=96532&relPageId=276

On January 9, 1964, FDD (Foreign Documents Division) USSR division chief Taylor Bielefeldt was tasked to study Soviet press accounts re Oswald and any of his possible contacts.

Bielefeldt's finding was negative. http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?docId=7975&relPageId=2

Although unsigned, this article is what Bielefeldt was asked to write:
