From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cleveland C. Cram (b. December 21, 1917 d. January 8, 1999) was a station chief in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States, serving as station chief for Canada, then for Europe, then for the western hemisphere. After his retirement in 1975 he was called back to do historical research. Over six years of work he completed a twelve volume work that remains classified. His "History of the Counterintelligence Staff 1954–1974", 1981, remains unpublished CIA study. In 1993 he completed an essay "Of Moles and Molehunters: A Review of Counterintelligence Literature, 1977–1992" that was declassified in 2003. The work was influential and was critical of CIA Counterintelligence Chief James J. Angleton's efforts to root out Soviet spies during the 1960s.
