 ### CIA Identification
 
-McLellan appears in the [[East German]] intelligence publication "Who's Who in the CIA," which lists him at page 351 with the notation "from 1951 work for CIA."[^2] He was also identified as a CIA asset by [[Philip Agee]] in Agee's 1975 memoir [[Inside the Company: CIA Diary]], which documented AIFLD's function as a CIA instrument in Latin America.[^3] According to [[Gerald J. Poulsan]] of the [[International Association of Food and Allied Workers]], eight CIA agents took operational orders from McLellan through AIFLD's network.[^4] McLellan's positioning within the AFL-CIO's international operations was shaped by his long-standing membership in the [[Jay Lovestone]] anti-communist faction of the AFL-CIO's International Affairs Department, which maintained close working relationships with the CIA from the late 1940s onward.[^5]

 ### 1969 Rockefeller Mission
 
-McLellan was included as an adviser on [[Nelson Rockefeller]]'s 1969 Mission to the Americas, traveling as part of Rockefeller's staff through four separate trips to nineteen Latin American countries between May and July 1969. The mission was commissioned by President [[Richard Nixon]] to assess conditions in Latin America and produce policy recommendations. NACLA's contemporary analysis of the mission's composition described McLellan as a long-time member of the Lovestone wing of the AFL-CIO's international section, "which has been close to Rockefeller interests," and noted that he was also a director of AIFLD. Rockefeller delivered his final report to the White House at the end of August 1969. McLellan's inclusion placed AIFLD's labor operations explicitly within the Rockefeller network's diplomatic framework, confirming the organizational alignment that critics of AIFLD had argued since its founding.[^11]
