Transcription

An investigation by my associates Dale Van Atta and Indy Badhwar indicates that from September 1982 to May 1983, the CIA paid a Hawaiian student to spy on foreigners at two colleges and a Mormon tourist attraction on Oahu.

If the student spy's information was indeed "significant," the CIA got a bargain: He was paid $100 a month for his eight-month undercover mission, he said.

The young spook is Jim Rewald, who was 19 when the CIA recruited him for campus cloak-and-dagger work in July 1982. He had just been accepted for the fall term at Brigham Young University (Hawaii) at Laie, Oahu."
