What role did President Harry S. Truman play in the formation of the CIA?

0

Harry S. Truman was president after Franklin Roosevelt died. He had been Roosevelt’s vice president and he was very foresighted when it came to national security and the Cold War. He realized that we have this enemy, the Soviet Union, which was incredibly secretive. You simply could not visit it, except through clandestine means. And so the CIA was necessary he thought, to try to find out what the Soviet Union was up to.
