The CHAOS Program was a highly secret Central Intelligence Agency operation. It involved the Agency's purchase of a Washington D.C. trash collection company, which had contracts to pick up garbage at various Third World embassies, including the Israeli embassy. The trash was systematically sorted and analyzed for any possible intelligence. James Jesus Angleton was a sponsor of this program.1
