The CIA's Original Office in Foggy Bottom

Before the CIA was founded, its responsibilities were coveted by J. Edgar Hoover and his FBI, which had noted success against Nazi spies during World War II. Indeed, in succeeding years, animosity between Hoover and the CIA resulted in a lack of cooperation and coordination between the two agencies amid the Cold War — a relationship that would be replicated with turf wars and philosophical and operational differences in the post-Hoover decades to come, all the way up to al-Qaeda's attack on the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001.
