Former Eastland aide claims seven year undercover spy stint
Kenneth R. Tolliver, ex aide to Sen. James Eastland, says he played a game of foxes and fooled Soviet agents while acting undercover for the FBI for seven years. He allegedly provided a Senate telephone directory and helped with foreign worker permits as part of his espionage role. The FBI neither confirms nor denies the extent of Tolliver’s activities, and Eastland says he fired Tolliver in 1968 without knowledge of these Soviet connections.
